Great piece of art (as one would expect from Sanity), blistering soundtrack, great visuals, one disk. Only downside is that it feels a bit 'unfinished', more like roots 0.2, but nonetheless, definately a classic.

This is probably the only AGA demo that takes advantage of the hardware on other ways than just displaying more colors. And it is also the last of the real hardware hitting demos.

the cyan/blue mountains are really cool :)


comment by rloaderror on 24 January 2004

the music rocks too.. I dare not judge this in techical terms as I have not tried to do any of what this demo does in bitplane mode.. Seems to be rather awesome though. ;)


comment by ToAks on 23 May 2004

This is a masterpiece and i remeber the stories from roots1.0 and 2.0 and i dont agree, CHAOS = GOD!

i heard from somewhere that chaos and the gang made Mr.nutz (ocean) , any comments?

Ownage code, no design.


comment by RaHoW on 02 April 2008

comment by skipp604 on 26 June 2008

Oh I love this one! Everything is so nice designed, and Jester's music is one of the best demo soundtracks I've heard! 5/5

Whenever I see these dot-plotters with 1000s of points on lower end amigas and compare with how I struggle to draw 1000s of points on high-end amigas I feel I have missed out on some technique that everybody else knows.
