These are pictures of my favourite C64 demo 'Deus Ex Machina' from Creat/oyron. You can see it in action here and here. Remember, it's running on a machine with less than 1 MHz (985 kHz to be exact), 9 K video RAM and one 5,25" disk with only 330K! Everything is pure assembler programming, 3D-scaling, multitasking (playing music, gfx animation, disk loading), and the cola bottle animation is calculated in realtime!



Here's another version, different quality. By the way, the pic in the upper right is using the UIFLI mode - this means Underlaid Interlace Flexible Line Interpretation. And it's really so difficult to program as the name sounds

2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
