$Yeah, what _is_ the best demo for the Amiga (say a 500, not a 3000); not
$only on technical merit, but also which _looks_ the best, and is the most
$impressive; the sort of thing you would sit gawking at for however long?

In my opinion, the best demo for Amigas is RADBOOGIE.  It was a BADGE
Killer demo contest entry a year or so ago.  There are demos which are
more elaborate in terms of graphics but they always require gobs of RAM
and maybe even disk space.  RADBOOGIE is small, elegant, customizable,
and allows me to point out to unbelievers things that ONLY AMIGAS CAN
DO.  Things like smooth flipping of graphics in tons of colors (some
neat copper hack I think), with two layers of overlaid graphics (a
playfield and a bob or gel, is my guess [haven't looked at the source
as you can tell]), and a GREAT audio track.  It runs on an A500 or an
A3000, with CPU-oriented things [a trail of lines with moving end
points] getting faster on the faster CPU.  It also runs fine under 2.0
(the music didn't work at first, but with some help I was able to fix
that, too).

$And... Where can I get it?

BADGE?

$H&M
$T.
