The E-A demo that came with the original relase of Amiga DOS way
back in 1985 was pretty good.  Actually one of the better I've seen
on any system.  I think the Kaleidascope is redistributable since
it was intended as an advert for E-A (there was also a slide demo
hawking future E-A programs for the Amiga since at that time no
significant amount of software existed).

We used the kaleidascope as a tool to soothe hyperactive children.
We taped the output on a VCR and showed it on a 25 inch monitor.
Some kids would sit and watch for several hours.  Kaleidascope
didn't have any sound with it, so we used one of those generic "new
age" sort of yuppie elevator music type CDs for the tape's
background music.

You might have to boot DOS 1.0 to run it, I don't remember now.
Check with a freind that has an old Amiga.
