First Amiga Intro Ever (A500) - MEGABYTE INC 1986

submitted by LarsaruS

1 decade 3 years 9 months 1 week ago

Due to the recent spate of demo videos on the sift, I figured I would go back in time and sift the first Amigo demo/intro ever by a crack group.

From Youtube:
"MEGABYTE INC: LEADERBOARD GOLF [cracktro] A.K.A. THE FIRST AMIGA INTRO (1986)

Code, GFX & Sampling: Skywalker/Megabyte Inc
Fixed for all Amigas (original was A1000 only): Mr.Spiv/Complex

Capture & x264 encode by Lemming/FIG
Hardware: Amiga 500 rev 6A PAL ECS Agnus 1MB feat NEW loudness hack by directly altering A500's op.amp
Special greetz to #suomiscene & Arabuusimiehet

Notes: Yes, this is the first intro (basically the first demo as well) ever done on the Amiga; a crack-intro for Access Software's Leaderboard Golf.
It's superb. Dig the mega Jarre sample!!"

The A1000 boing ball animation:

Moving this video to LarsaruS's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by deathcow.

I had one of these..was really incredible for its time. It had a great GUI, and a ton of awesome games and utiltiies. Shadow of the beast..blood money..even deluxe paint 2 was cool I remember upgrading it from 512k to 1024k of ram so I could play dragons lair. Those were the days..

They were indeed the days. I dont know what could rekindle that type of computing excitement : ) I went from Commodore 64 to Atari ST to PC (dos 3.3 days). Didnt get hands on Amiga time until about 1991 or so when I played Armageddon endlessly.
