About
The last FTA demo, July 1991, and a goodbye gift. It looks like a simple single-part demo, but two things inside it mattered. It was the first IIGS demo to play an Amiga MOD that broke past the 64K sample limit of the Ensoniq (the routines later became the NoiseTracker suite), and the display runs in a home-made multithreading scheme: the VBL interrupt draws the current object while the main CPU generates the code for the next one, which is how it animates 3D wireframes at 50 Hz on a 2.8 MHz processor.
The name honours an Amiga demo maker who did everything himself, code, art and music. After two years and a long list of releases, the group moved on after this one. Floppy-only; Boot in browser runs it in the emulator's 3.5" drive.
