Fun fact: Most of those really bad early 90's laserdisc arcade games ran on Amiga hardware. I pulled apart a long since kitted American Lazergames cabinet and found most of an Amiga inside.

Fun fact 2: Those 90s VR arcade machines ran on Amiga 3000s.

I have lots of old demos on a CF card on my A1200.

I never watch them, most of them are boring as hell.

It's like someone put so much boring on one side of a scale, and so much annoying on the other that the fulcrum just snapped.

On the other hand, isn't annoyance the very thing that inspires change and innovation?

These demos were so annoying, people had to come up with something new so they wouldn't have to be so annoying?

I set up 3d Studio r4 in Dosbox last weekend from floppies I downloaded on Usenet in the late 90s, seeing that old crack felt so RIGHT.

I remember two things about the Amiga. Anime people used them for making fansubs, and that one early webcomic about the skunk lady made a big deal about them.

Sabrina Online? Yeah, that's by Eric Schwartz who is an incredibly annoying Amiga diehard.

Amigas were pretty ahead of their time, but other technology has moved on well past it. And yet the Amiga fandom will never die.

That's the one.

Wow, it's still around. And older than Sluggy Freelance.

I gotta say, Octamed was an amazing program for tracking these kinds of demo tunes at the time. To this day, I still find uses for ImpulseTracker (now Schismtracker I guess) in various recording applications.
