Requires ECS Agnus, which means here's a case where the old "Amiga ECS" platform in Pouet actually would have made sense :)

still remember the "wooow" effect while seeing this for the first time at the party. pure brilliance for that time.

Voxel routine seems quite fast!
But mixed feelings because it's strange to have no sound in the first part on an Amiga!

Ok, thumb up anyway, the voxel deserves it.

Good '93 disco tune ;), cool voxel effect (thumb only for that routine).
Althou pity this is the only effect in this production. Could have been a 40k, with a cool chip tune and nice logos...

I just want to remind people that this is by far the earliest implementation of Voxelspace that runs on an Amiga 500+ .

re: break, at that time Commodore just shipped whatever they happen to have in stock so sometimes you would get Amiga 500 with 500+ hardware, sometimes it would be badged as an Amiga 500.

In 1993, Coyote lived in a village in rural Croatia, population 184 people, with no access to Internet or a modem to dial a BBS.

Given that, hardly suprising he did not release something super compatible as he basically bruteforced the registers to learn about Amiga capabilities. In the process discovered the "illegal" 7 bitplane HAM trick, used recently by Inside the Machine by Desire. Checkout the Anniversary 40k intro for more info.

But guys, IMHO first voxelspace on Amiga 500, probably the only one for the next 20+ years, if you don't count the parallax voxel that came out in the awesome Rampage by TEK a full year later.

For all that, he got a 3 thumbs up and a few piggies and for the 7 bitplane trick the only thumb up was from me. Such is the life of a coder sometimes. Literally a technological breakthrough on old school Amigas and people do not really notice.
