Amen - boing and robo city were written before there was even much of an
operating system, let alone expansion hardware.  Demo are usually tossed
off in a hurry and only minimally maintained.

There's also an enhanced 1.1 dealer demo disk around that has updated versions
of some of the demos.  It's the one where boing has a speed control via the
right button instead of just on/off.  Also has a thing called Amiga 3-d that
you can fly with a joystick.
