Something I find interesting about these demos is that, even if they didn't employ FMV, my memories were certain they did. I was shocked to watch clips of The Journeyman Project Turbo! on YouTube and discover that walking down a hallway wasn't a seamless animation. I "remember" so clearly that it was. I guess that just proves how impressed I was by the technology, even if I wasn't conscious of it at the time.
I just PM'd everyone who has posted in this thread with a reminder about Sunday night's chat. We'll be doing it in the RB IRC channel. Let me know if you have questions!
Another suggestion for those that may be interested... There are large amounts of Amiga game music in the net, but it is not trivial to play them. There is a very nice program called Deliplayer 2 that actually uses parts of an emulator (UAE) to reproduce the tracker music, although you will need to run in under Win XP compatibility mode if you have Windows 7.
It is quite impressive how good some of this music is, in my opinion. I have a soft spot for it of course, having grown up with it - but the sound that these musicians/programmers extracted from the Amiga really was ahead of its time.
JT, I hadn't known the games were up on gog.com. I've been procrastinating on signing up for some reason, but there always seem to be more and more reasons why I should get moving on an account sooner than later. Thanks for the tip!
