What are the best demos to show off an unboosted Falcon030?

Post by stephen_usher »

When I took my Falcon to the show down in Southampton I only had a couple of demos to show off the unaccellerated Falcon030's capabilities. Next weekend I'm off to Cambridge to a bigger show and would like to have a larger variety to run.

So, post below (with links to download sites) your list of best Falcon030 demos. This thread can then become a resource for other people to use too.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

I know EvilFranky mentioned it already but Electric Night is by far the best stock 030 demo I've ever seen, the graphics, sound, composition, everything is absolutely astounding... if there was just one to check out, it has to be that in my opinion, don't miss it! (particularly enjoy how at the end credit section it explains how each scene uses a different part of the Falcon hardware)

Thanks for the lists so far. I'll probably start downloading tomorrow evening.

I already have Joy and Zero-Three-Zero, though Joy uses some funky video modes which most monitors find difficult to display properly.

Also you can use Pouet list and sort Falcon demos by popularity: https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?plat ... er=thumbup
And download a demo released before CT60 accelerator was available (2002 ?)
