    I must add the comment that most of the music in this demo is made by Purple Motion. only the last flying city skene has music made by Skaven.

    For some great Skaven music, check out the game, Bejeweled. Bejeweled 2 is even better. It’s basically 3 different songs that fade into each other and loop forever. It’s crazy but you never get sick of it!!

    As for this YouTube post and all the comments – AWESOME! It’s amazing how some of the people who seemed to not be a part of this back in the day want to be. I never read all comments but I just did. I’ve known forever about DosBox but this is the first time I’ve seen this on YouTube.

    This is the pinnacle of the lost art of demo coding. This is to Directx 10 software coding what shaoling kung-fu is to olympic martial arts. A different league.
    The fact that a bunch of 17 year old kids back in 93 got a 30Mhz 80386 to do this real time, is well…worth of a place on the Voyager space probe disc.

    its always a win win situation with amazing demos like this: its either “I can’t believe a standard PC DId that in real time” (1993) or “I cant believe a PC could do that in 1993!”

    ultimately amazing

    It was mind-numbing in 1993. Today it still thrills me.
