Title: Share your favorite 3D Demos
Post by FalconFly on 14.08.06 at 14:45:04

Since I got quite a Collection, I was wondering what are your favorites?

(for those unfamiliar, I'm talking about 3D Demos from the Demoscene)

Descent1 Demo is the best :)

when that came out I waited for the original to be released and it was the first game I bought Descent from Parralax * Interplay, man spent many hours with that one and still play'n it now :)

it was the first game with 360 degrees free movement amazing for it's time.

Hm, I'm still rather looking for 3D Demos from the Demoscene, not Game demos ;)

Technically the Into The Shadows is a non-playing demo, for it's time it was amazing.

Btw- Will not run in Windows, DOS is required.

Not sure if a command prompt will work, last time I tried it I had to boot into DOS mode from Win9x.

Think Quake... 2 years before Quake came out with more engine features and more modest requirements.

What I liked best is the "Nature" demo by vertigo.
My eyes almost popped out when I watched one of the first accelerated demos back in 1997 on a Voodoo Graphics.
Its a pity that I was not able to get that demo running in 3d mode on a voodoo card later than Voodoo2. On V1 and V2 it runs fine.

ah okay well got hooked to Gamma742's idea ;D

XL-R8R from Mad-Onion / FutureMark was one of the best things I've seen on my Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP when I had the P3/E 650 :)

This is an OpenGL demo from NVidia, but it runs very well on Voodoo hardware, especially with MesaFX and Wicked3D...try it. ;)
