No comments? One of Orange's finest releases, featuring 18-bit color "fakemode" for the first time ever. Too bad noone can get it running anymore. :(

This is the no.1 stunner, great effects, outstanding graphics and a killer track by dune. Superb demo.

Phoenix, Just run it on a 486 w/ GUS and it works. :)

Still perhaps my favourite Orange demo. It's some sort of magic.. must be weird fakemodes.

I just love this demo very much.

Those fakemodes were to die for, and that soundtrack....it's no coincidence it's still in my playlists =)

Eh? :D

A damn fine demo, and the fakemode absolutely rock. Sorry about that I didn't include a screen of it in the anim, but they were just so goddamn large... Sometimes I wish that the pouët.net screenshot-limit would be larger...

fractal: I meant _almost_ noone.. I can get it running and I'm sure a few other diehards like you can too.

Yeah, it's tough getting those multi-screen shots in 64k.. you can always try reducing the image size, or number of colors in each pic, but sometimes it's better to just lose some screens.

Absolutely one of the best demos for pc. It even works on my current PC :)
rulez added on the 2001-09-13 19:12:25 by Nrg Nrg
For a long time I considered this as the best demo ever. It's just fucking cool.
rulezcdc added on the 2001-09-28 13:58:49 by nosfe nosfe
Great and it runs fine on my 733p3/256MB/GF3/GUS Classic, although I have to reboot to exit it.
rulez added on the 2001-09-28 15:40:28 by jar jar
the only place where I've seen x14 exiting cleanly was Mekka & Symposium 2001 demoshow.. how did you guys do it?:) For me it always crashes at the end.

Gotta love it. The soundtrack by dune is just awesome. Fakemodes aren't quite my thing but the design makes up for them.

Propably the best demo soundtrack ever and the demo itself also kicks ass. My all time Orange favourite.
rulez added on the 2002-03-27 07:29:15 by odex odex
This has got to be my all time orange favourite as well.. It features probably the 2nd best demo soundtrack ever... right after 'dope' ofcourse:D

is it (isn't it suppose to be IT IS) red green and blue
just art
no complex vectors
no magic environment map
no tricky gouraud

i'd say it's my favourite demo

Good, music, interesting effects with pixels put properly. Stylish demo in the spirit of the 1995/1996 PC demo scene..

Never was big fun of this scan-line fake mode in some demos. However I see that historically that must be the first one to do it? I do rewatch it and I see either scanline effects or lowres blocky, not liking the looks of it enough, however the music is good.

I wish something was still as magical as watching this for the first time back in the 90s. Or now.
