Spaceballs - State of the Art (Amiga Demo Scene)

Spaceballs - State of the Art was one of the most memorable demo's to come from the Amiga Demo Scene, It was hard to believe a home computer from the early 90's could pump out something like this on 1 Floppy disc.

I bet this is where Apple got their white people dancing on coloured background with iPod ads from...

Makes apple seem like lamers

Amiga is the true king, the rest are for lamers, PC and Apples, you got to have a 2ghz proc to be able to multitask hahahah

Well, you know, I'm wondering... why didn't some supposedly more clever wizzkid release a more impressive demo while still having "no code" in it? Could you riddle that to me, please? And additionally, could you link some Amiga demos that clearly are more impressive? Later ones are fine also.

Well, not really. Apple and their fan base claim that Apple invents everything and are super innovative when they really just pick and choose the best bits from everything they like and then claim it is their "inventions". They have really not invented much on their own. Everyone else admits they are borrowing/copying/whatever and don't make a big deal of it.

They do make popular products that people want though so they're definitely doing something right.

All you idiots saying apple ripped xyz, so what about the james bond movies of the tales of the unexpected prior to this demo?

You are ironically make the same mistake that you are accusing apple off, attributing an original idea based on your own lack of brains.

HAHA, I love the internet.

Reminds me of the title sequence of Dr. No.

Read again what I wrote! "Back when SOTA was released it was something new which is why many people liked it".

Also, care to elaborate why I must be drunk just because I wrote a completely sane comment? But seeing how you didn't understand what I wrote in my first comment I doubt you'll come up with an answer. Besides, I was already coding Amiga stuff when SOTA came out and had exactly the same opinion back then. I prefer demos with code instead of simple anim players.
