This 64K demo pioneered real-time ray tracing in 1996. It was designed to run on the faster PCs of the time (Pentium 1 preferred).
Even now, more than a decade later, realtime raytracing is still regarded as a "thing of the future", as mainstream realtime applications (e.g.games) are still yet to adopt it.
Programmed by 216, music by 1in10. Participated in the PC 64K intro competition of the Juhla demoparty in Iisalmi, Finland. The video was captured using DOSBox 0.65.
Aww! Someone please make a video of Transgression 3, I want it just for the music :) Dosbox didn't run it easily when I tried the last time.

What's wrong there? It certainly does so. I tried making it work in QEMU but got a runtime error 200 - and I lack an unpacker. Perhaps you could contribute or do I see you just waving dicks?

Sounds like the music was based on Cygnus-X Orange Theme. I like the focus shift half way through. Wicked.

Only in fakemode. There is a commandline switch for highcolor but it shows only garbage in DosBox.

It fakes hicolor by rendering red/green/blue rasterlines. In video it mixes them together so they are less noticable, but you can still see them. X14/Orange pioneered this trick I believe
