ooohhh this track. martin iveson forever. he still continues to dominate, except nowadays as 'atjazz' on d-i-y & mantis records etc etc.

epitome of a chilled production

It IS an ECS-demo, but if you run it on an AGA-machine it has a couple of extra features... And btw, I love the soundtrack!

slummy: ever seen an ECS demo? me not!
i propose this is OCS then (O like in Original ChipSet) rather than ECS (E like in Enhanced ChipSet).
Pouet made ECS a wrong fact of the Amiga demo history.

No vote from me???? I'm ashamed.

This is one of my favourite and most watched demos ever. The design is so mellow and I could listen to the music for eternity (therefore, finding the secret part was no problem). Absolute bliss!

noname: I agree 100%. I just wrote ECS to be consistent with the information on pouet... I'm a strictly-by-the-rules person... ;)

Baaah. What settings do I need to make this work in WinUAE?
about winUAE settings, this might help you:
[url=http://www.back2roots.org/Docs/Howtos/Configs/]http://www.back2roots.org/Docs/Howtos/Configs/]
ecs13.uae is supposed to make it run properly as far as I remember.

By the way, forgot to give it a thumb up, one of my favorite amiga mods ever.

crap.
again
added on the 2004-08-29 22:15:42 by keops keops
Thanks Keops but it still won't work :(
settings for a vanilla a1200 should work. if you use ecs settings you will miss the aga only effects, i guess

one of my favourite demos in 1993!
rulez added on the 2004-11-23 12:20:07 by NuKem NuKem
some amiga-scener at tp93 left his computer on and the looping part of the soundtrack went on all through the night until svolkraq/gollum and p-nut/darkzone went nuts and ripped out his tv-cord.

great memories. :)

It's a bit slow, but still whenever I watch a Melon demo it just makes me think were people at the time just oblivious how brilliant these were compared to the contemporaries...

It's stylized (apart from maybe the pics), and I like the modulo writer and "texture mapping". But... maybe something else instead of the plots, and less depressing music? I dunno.

I don't know if Human Target was _the_ demo that shifted the Amiga scene away from lengthy vector city fly-bys and black background effect shows, but it's surely a candidate. And I'd say nobody was oblivious: By the time How To Skin A Cat was released a lot of groups had caught on and, IMHO, significantly improved upon the concept.
