Absolutely awesome, i really love the atmosphere made out of the music of this demo! It´s just brilliant!

Great port, but i just own a Falcon030 with PhantomS Accelerator. Yet i still have the Videos to watch and maybe MiKro makes something for a standard Falcon030 these days...

Brilliant work!

@hankillo1 neither did commodore ever release any amiga which could play media like mp3 files straight out the box :/ Damn right I see what I wanna see.

[hankillo1]

@mynameisleeyesitis JAJAJJAJA,yes and atari never released any ct60 for the falcon.You only see what you wanna see :)

@mynameisleeyesitis I was a Commodore only guy during that time (almost bought an Atari STFM instead in 1990 but opted for an Amiga 500) but it was such a great time reading all the Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad, C64, Acorn Archimedes, PC...etc.. program and game reviews in magazines like ACE :)

Now what do we have? Apple & Microsoft and small Linux niche all pretty much using the same hardware. It was a unique time for us, let's remember it for it's greatness :)

@mynameisleeyesitis I think it's time for us old Commodore & Atari users to finally grow up and accept that no matter what machine you deem as being better (many times it's completely preferential based on what you use the machine for or what you are used to or perhaps even it was your "first" 16 bit computer) it was probably THE greatest time in Computing history, along with the 8 bit scene previously.

Whether you are Atari or Commodore, WE were there and we have a common bond ;)

amiga is fucked *hehe*

[mynameisleeyesitis]

@surfitlive Commodore never released any ppc amigas so they arent real amigas (when comparing to an falc at stock config you must talk about amiga on stock config)

Sure ur ppc amiga might be all this and that like you say, but my cheaper linux laptop is more powerful and more functional. Howevr its not a real amiga and im not talking about my falcon with even a ct60, just talking about stock.

Stock falcon beats a stock a4000 tower in most ways. Falcon wins cos its more fun to use and interesting

@mynameisleeyesitis

You sound like the 'AMiga plebs' you mention when you say quote "Any Amiga" > Falcon = Fail.

Cause if you say 'ANY' AMiga then I can pull out a PPC accellerated version A4000 tower or a SAM604x model. then you would go back 2your argument that the Falcon was the competition for the A1200 only! NOT the A4000 etc...

Look it was a nice machine but having the universe's FASTEST/Best Submarine in the DESERT doesn't help.

Amiga wins due 2 usability/software availabilty

@mynameisleeyesitis

More people know/used Amiga. I only recently learned of Falcon.

Nice Machine, but Again Atari failed to do what Commodore did with C64 and then Amiga Line did.

So the Amiga really is > Falcon.

By out of box "specs" the Falcon looks better. Take a Current Mac/PC you get the same.

BUT my Amiga can run circles around those MORE powerful PCs in mulittasking, Video/audio SYNCING properly EVERYTIME. Bootup time. Ease of use, Drive/space efficiency and FUN!

@mynameisleeyesitis I get 101,000 Google hits for 'Atari Falcon' 101,000 for 'Amiga A1200' 742,000 for 'Amiga 1200' More GAMES/SOFTWARE/expansion hardware for AMiga. Lower COST for Atari but limited choice. Falcon Wiki page is 2 down scrolls long w/2links. A1200 6 down scrolls long w/10links. The Layout &co-processors(BLiTTER)of the Atari is a BITE of Amiga w/a little more muscle than stock. Except theDSP.That is a good upgrade,though Paula has held up2many generic chips over years.

@hankillo1 Comparing the A4000 to Falcon 030 is ridiculous. The Falcon was the competitor to computers like A1200 class. So what do you want?
