Some of the Atari ST demos were very good but on the Amiga demos were in another league.The graphics hardware of the Amiga was just so hackable and the guys who really knew the platform were able to make those chips perform way beyond what their designers probably intended. The Amiga was capable of producing pure eye candy - amazing considering the limited (by today's standards) hardware. Yes Kevin I think you did.

I cut my gaming teeth on Commodore's Vic-20 and 64 respectively but then sort of forgot about all things video game until I bought a SNES. I think I might have missed out on something special.
