Good 1989's stuff!
Very cool.
Mr. MegaMind is really a legend and the starwars scroll is by far the best I have ever seen.
Can anyone explain the code / mechanism ???
Can anyone explain the code / mechanism ???
If i remember well, it was made with 8 sprites + 4 bitplanes in dual playfield mode, by modifying sprxdat/sprxpos/sprxctl/bplxptl every line
+ bplcon1 odd/even values twice / line (1 time for the left bitplanes columns / 1 time for the right bitplanes columns since bitplanes 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 are sharing the same bplcon1 value),
all giving 12 chars / line. Everything is pushed by the blitter into the copperlist i think, it's just a matter of having the right precalculated tables for the shape of the scroll.

First time I ever had a chance to watch this one was today and it's funny, the first thought i had aswell was that the starwars scroller is probly the best i have ever seen. Thx to stingray for sharing the clean image of this, good stuff, m8:) maybe someday i will try your agafix ;)
Some nice effects for the year hidden in here, not just that star wars scroll.
Pretty good for '89! Some of the music is pretty nice!
great classic!
Coder's Heaven and a super great megademo from 1989 :)
Great stuff for 1989!
yep
excellent! <3
A little better musicwise than Megademo 1 and I liked the elastic scroller ... but the overall package is blown away by 1991's Beyond Justice ... piggie
Steel noticed that megademo 1 is from Feb 1989, this from Dec 1989 and Beyond Justice Apr 1991? During those years even small release date differences mattered a lot.
I do love me some Einstein.
The Star Wars scroller in particular is a one-off that displays a stroke of genius, an actual mega mind at work, with full knowledge of the Amiga hardware. It's actually unbeatable - all of the subsequent entries were just scanline effects - they just didn't get it.
Star Wars... Other parts are good too.
@photon
Yes this was amazing for the time. There are other ways of doing it though too. The one I used in De Profundis was derived from one I developed that was 12 characters wide, 32 pixels width per char, and in overscan. Check the copper list for some proper headfuckery 😁

@Dan, I would bet your Star Wars scroller was at te beginning of The Fall though
That was good stuff!
@Soundy you're right!!!
It WAS amazing for the time.
I remember seeing it at the time, and finding the text on water effect pretty damn cool. The colourscheme kind of let it down though.
