Very impressive and creative!! The idea of making a remake of a sensational demo on the Amiga on the older and more primitive Commodore 64!! Nice job, especially the Vector, "bitmap" zoom and zoomrotator!!
well, let's be honest without the disc gradually loading, it wouldn't be the same, BUT the fact that people found out that the machine can be tricked and play something while loading is incredible and that changed the whole demo scene forever!
I've got to say - I had no idea. AMAZING. I love the original but this is way beyond what I thought a humble C64 could accomplish. x- a Spectrum fan! -x
This is sooo increadible! Cosider i have programmed in assembler for alot of years i can't even in my wildest fantasies imagin how they did this. Big credit to the smartest programmers ever for achieveing this.
Jaw dropping... Amazing little machine that still impresses after all these years. Next time a ZX fan starts their nonsense, shove this demo under their nose and watch them weep.
You wouldn't be able to efficiently calculate 3D the same way you can with today's machines. That's why shortcuts were employed. In fact, no "3D" calc might even be taking place at that time :) Optical illusions FTW!
The Atari 800 is the TRUE predecessor of the Amiga, NOT the C64, as Jay Miner developed both machines. There's no fucking reason why the Atari could not pull off a version of "Desert Dream", if the same principles are in use by Jay the Genius when he created them.
sure the amiga version was better, but doing this on c64 is 10x harder than on an amiga, and thats the point: showing that it can be done. when the amiga version of this came out, this demo for the c64 was tought i m p o s s i b l e.

I think this is the best demo I've ever seen on C64! I can`t believe C64 can do a total copy of Amiga demo!
i love the track!:) c64 had an awesome sound chip!

A C64 version of this demo ...... holy carp, it's AWESOME, these coders are doing the impossible !
Absolutely stunning! I remember how impressed I was when this demo came to the Amiga - and now a C-64 can do it.
\oo/ Rock on! Nicely done! \oo/

WOW thats amazing! I wish more of these demo effects had made it onto games.
For the first time in ages, my jaw dropped open when I saw this.

this is true magical c64 assembler coding.
awesome copy of the amiga original demo by laxity/kefrens.
HOLY shit.... absolutely brilliant
Jaw dropping...

AWESOME!!!
Great stuff!! 5/5!
incredible:-)
You're OWNED X-D
the comparison must be done with the C64 3D games like 3DPool.
Obvious that the Amiga version was better.
Super.
wow, great!! thank you so much...

f***! amazing bass!
I was talking about a past comment who say that c64 scene is pathetic, i'm not blaming, and yes defending it.
man, whats the secret part?

oh, then i think you're right, i didn't read other pages comments

WTF!Mode 7,pre snes!!!
yes, music is better than amiga one
Amiga scene crushes pathetic C64 cloners any day!
every one coder know that. but all things you see around are "optical ilusions"
it's not a comparison -.-
can't compare amiga with c64... seriously...
