-= ANIMATION DISCS =- Here are details of the purely animation based discs, please note a large proportion do need 1meg so be sure to read all the notes about a particular demo.. all 1meg discs are also listed elsewhere. Disc 6: Probe Demo. Perhaps one of the most popular discs ever to be placed in the public-domain. (Certainly one of the most popular of our discs). This shows an imaginary sequence recorded from a space craft as it journeys into an uncharted region and onto a strange planet where there have been reports of life. An entertaining and interesting use of digitised black & white graphics and created with The Director. No sound. Disc 7: RGB/FOCUS. There are another two demos created with The Director on this disc, one of them RGB requires 1MEG to run and is a competition winner. RGB is a humourous animation of the effects of the user from using a VDU.. strange and very clever use of digitised graphics. Focus is another strange demo that applies an imaginary scientific rule to random numbers with some weird results... Disc 11: CAT/BARON/WIREFRAME animations. Another classic animation in the form of the Sullivan/Bluth CAT! An excellent digitised cat in a frame runs along as the frame rotates around 360degrees. (Actually one meg is required for a full spin but the effect is still good in half meg!) Also on the disc is a demo for Videoscape of a Biplane flying in and out of the screen in 3D. Also included is a very nice vector graphics demo that is only a few K in size and is REAL TIME (ie the vectors are calculated and drawn 50 times every second). Disc 16: Sculpt 3D Animations, perhaps one of THE classic PD discs containing one of the most popular and often used animations; Khanakas. These animations all work on a standard 512K machine and are excellent. There are three animations: KHANAKAS - a superb HAM animation of Newtons Cradle (the executive toy with the balls on strings that proves the Kinetic theory [all the rage about 10yrs ago]).ROCKING CHAIR - another excellent HAM animation of guess what...yup! a rocking chair! F15: a wire frame animation of a fighter plane, unfortunatly just in wire frames. Disc 17: Sculpt 3D Animations, four excellent animations in a similar mould to the ones above. BIRD: a gorgeous bird ray traced in all its glory in the the action of flapping its wings. BIRDS: One of our favourite animations showing a large AMIGA in solid 3d lettering with 3 birds circling around.(Complete with sound).BOING: A simple but nice animation of a bouncing amiga ball in HAM mode of course! BOINGORBIT:An imaginary spaceship in orbit around a planet which is an Amiga ball (the red/white chequered ball which seems to have been adopted by the Amiga fraternity as a symbol of Amiga).All animations work fine on a standard 512K system. Disc 29: An animation created with Videoscape 3D, this features an imaginary machine type thing with lots of moving parts (including the obligatory amiga ball) and is very nice.Requires 1meg to see the full animation. Disc 30: Another Videoscape animation which is very strange - its shows three Unicycles being bounced off a ball. Again very good but you will need a megabyte to see the full animation cycle. Disc 31: The famous car demo which apparantley forms some kind of reference to the inside dealings of companies in the states. Another 1meg affair (inc some music) it features an innocent unicycle just trying to cross the road but it gets run over by a speeding supercar and bounces off the road... hmmm I wonder who the car is supposed to represent... Disc 33: Not strictly an animation disc but a demo of the capabilities of Deluxe Video by EA. Has 5 or so short `films` showing what can be done quickly and easily. Mock film titles are included, and a good education film teaching pythagoras. Disc 63: A mixed-bag of graphical goodies ranging from the classics like JUGGLER and ROBO animation that really got people gibbering and squirming all those years ago. Includes Blitter Demo (nice), Boing, Sproing, Colorful, Zoing, Drive Music (make your disk-drive sing!), Fractals, Robo, Juggler and the rather nice Nemesis planet demo. Disc 70: A nice disc containing 4 classic demos, including The Thames TV Animation, HB Hill, The Boing Machine and Marketroid. Disc 78: More videoscape animations; F15 - 2 jets that circle and fly out of the screen. GTV1 and GTV2 are animations based around the Granada Tv Logo and are nicely done. Spacecraft - a spacecraft that flies and rotates, nice. Trek - the enterprise flies past at great speed. For more really great star trek animations check out the discs by Tobias Richter Disc 81: Newtek Demo. One of the now classic amiga demos Disc 82: produced by Newtek, producers of Digipaint and Digiview as well as DigiFX. This one requires 2 discs and 1meg of memory. A slideshow/product demo/animation all rolled into one. Features great music and even better graphics. Disc 84: 2 nice animations, the first is of a man made out of a coke can who revolves. Its a HAM animation with clever reflection effects and the illusion that it is metal is very good. The smurf animation features a smurf (what else) walking along with the camera panning around it. Disc 85: 2 sick pieces of animation on here.The now famous exploding head demo (ugh!) and another of a bloke chopping some poor chaps arm off. For some reason these are really popular, says something about todays society methinks. Made us lot laugh anyway... Disc 95: The TAA Ball animation. Gorgeous animation of 3 spheres that rotate on a mirrored plate. Works in 512K and is really nice. One of the better 512K animations available. Excellent shading of the balls and how the reflections are calculated. Does not work on 1.3 issue machines. Disc 98: Video 3D demo. a product demo of an extremely powerful and professional video titler. Excellent and ultra smooth effects such as 3D rendering and shatter effects.. Disc 138: Disc contains animations created with Aegis animator. Includes a jet animation and a lander demo. Disc also includes a workable demo of Aegis Draw, a CAD program. Disc 148: Brilliant 1meg/1meg+ animation of a digitised knight. Set to music. One of the best animations yet on the Amiga. Superb! Full screen knight appears out of a book and waves his sword about! Doesnt sound very good I know but the graphics are really good! Disc 165: Some nice graphics and animation make up a nice product demo of Mirrorsofts Italian title, Crimetown Depth. Nice sequences of what promises to be an interesting game. Disc 181: Fantastic cartoon quality animation sequences in the 1meg demo for the game Dragons Lair, which is available NOW and spans no fewer than SIX discs! Great demo! Sound with 1.5meg and upwards Disc 208: A rolling demo of Deluxe Photolab, featuring 209: some excellent graphics and acts as a superb tutorial/introduction to the program. Requires 1meg to run. Similar format to the Dpaint 3 program which I deem to be a better program although theres no HAM mode on Dpaint III. Disc 220: The amazing Walker Demo! This is the 2 disc 221: 2megabyte version (a 1meg version can be found on disc 262). This shows an incredibly detailed and well animated AT-AT vehicle walking by the side of a B2000, looking round and shooting complete with sound FX, has to be one of the best demos available for the Amiga. Created by Bill Williams of Imaginetics. Disc 236: Bunsen Burner. A videoscape animation created by P.Warnes (a member of 17Bit) for us.Nice use of Dpaint and Videoscape and is a tongue in cheek stab at Interceptor I think... The main animation shows an F15 flying through a ravine and having a close shave with another. Nicely put together. Requires 1megabyte to run. Disc 240: Excellent Luxor Teenager animation, a sequel to the award winning animation on a mainframe. It is based on the antics of 2 angle-poise lamps, a large one and a mischeavious smaller one who is playing with a ball. Produced with Sculpt 4d. Very good HAM graphics, very smooth moving. Requires 1megabyte to run. Disc 253: Walker Demo II Trailer. 2meg version. 254: The excellent intro for Walker Demo II, note that although this is a trailer it is a full demo! There is a 1meg version also available on Disc 255. This demo was on show just about everywhere at the last CBM show and depicts an AT-AT attacking downtown Chicago.. and a helicopter makes a brave stand.. but does it succeed? Find out in Walker Demo II!! Disc 255: The 1meg version of the above.. in fact you dont really lose a great deal, a few sound effects and approx 5-6 seconds of animation including the helicopter bit. Still a fantastic demo and definatly one for the collectors. Disc 262: Walker Demo 1meg versiom. The original version where the AT-AT walks by the side of a B2000. Great demo and definatly one for your collection contrary to rumours there are no plans for a 512K version.. sorry! Disc 263: Mix Disc! Contains a very nice Walking legs animation as well as 2 pieces of music (alf tune and Push/Shove), and three intros by TLB (12K vector scroll), Subway demo and a Kefrens/7up demo. Disc 290: Zoetrope Demo disc. A new animation package using yet another format (RIF) that allows you to use anim files from just about any machine/ format including cyber studio ones from the ST and .anim amiga files. Included on the disc are five animations the best of which is the Skeleton doing the backflip. Also includes Zoedemo 1 (a cutey creature that wobbles and falls over), Dinonew a simple animation, Li`l Guy - another cutey guy. Backflip (need 1meg for the whole flip!) and Zoesparklet - 3D text animation. Zoetrope is available from ISM, Grove House, Ventor Road, Apseheath, Isle Of Wight PO36 OJT contact Paul Booth for full details. Disc 305: Yet another one of Tobias`s excellent Animations this time of a tank from Tron getting crushed by a deactivator (well thats what I think they are called!). Good - 1meg only though! Disc 306: Agatron animation disc containing The Jet demo with objects by Allen Hastings and animation by Tobias Richter - shows an F15 flying from the sky and landing on a runway. This needs 1megabyte. Also included is an excellent Reliant (Star Trek) animation and a Nelson (another Star Trek craft) animation. All produced using Videoscape by Aegis. Disc 308: More Agatron animations by Tobias Richter this time, we have two very nice robot animations, a spaceship animation and Workbee. 1megabyte reccomended but not needed (only to see the last bit of the spaceship animation). Disc 317: Design 3D Demo. A nice full-screen demo of the new CAD package. Looks very easy to use and is an excellent demo as it shows you quite a few examples as well as exactly how something is created (all mouse movements have been recorded and playedback). Includes the facility to create animation files, copes with 16 colours, light shading etc. Full commercial package is available NOW. Disc 326: Agatron Animation demo disc, created by Tobias Richter using Videoscape 3D. This disc is a 1meg affair and shows a Star Wars X-Wing fighter coming into view and spinning around. Disc 327: Three Agatron animations, again courtesy of Tobias Richter,Workbee - shows a small Star-Trek craft flying into a reliant craft, this needs 1meg. Also on the disc are two animations of a lotus zooming down a road and a jet flying over a road then a lotus zooming past. All created using Aegis`s Videoscape package. Disc 328: Two Agatron animations by Tobias Richter, Space - a massive spaceship that comes from space with all its bits spinning and rotating and then the perspective changes and it disapears into space again. Tron2 - A deactivator tank from Tron (the movie) gets crushed. 1Meg needed. Disc 329: The widely known Dry-Dock Star-Trek animation that has been featured in loads of magazines now and was on view at the show. Again its by Star Trek fan Tobias Richter and again using Videoscape. Of course you do need 1meg for it. Disc 330: More Agatron animations, featuring the Agatron logo and an excellent 1meg animation - showing tie-fighters and X-wing fighters from Star Wars flying through space and lots of them too! Surprise, its by Tobias Richter and yes it was created on Videoscape 3D. Disc 331: Another two very nice animations courtesy of Tobias Richter and Videoscape 3D. This time of a Klingon cruiser flying and firing its way through space.(1meg) Also a reliant Star Trek craft hovering through space and flying away. Disc 332: More (yes more!) Agatron animations by Tobias Richter this time of the space shuttle orbiting, 3 Klingons and a Knox ship revolving. 1meg reccomended for these (as ever). Disc 333: A massive Star-Wars animation that is so big that it needs to be run from CLI (no space for commands on the disc), you will need a showanim command (on all the Agatron discs) and to read the `read.me` on the disc for full instructions, if you have 1meg and 2 drives then its really quite simple to get the animation going. But at the moment it will not auto-run. We did this rather than put it out on 2 discs. Disc 334: Another huge Star-Wars animation that is very spectacular and another of Tobias`s Videoscape creations. Like 333 you will need to follow the on-disc instructions.1meg req. Disc 371: Another Agatron Animation this time created with Dpaint III, its a 2D animation showing how you could present something using the package. Not quite as stunning as Tobias`s 3D Videoscape stuff but good none-the-less. Of course its about Star-Trek! Disc 372: Another of Tobias Richters Star Trek creations, this features a Reliant and an Enterprise in combat. The enterprise moves slowly above and behind and shoots the reliant, rocking it... Very nicely done, huge 3D graphics, smooth action. (1meg!) Also on the disc is a robot animation where the robot is walking along. Disc 373: More Tobias Richter animations created with Videoscape, the first is a fairly basic 2D animation of 2 Star-Trek craft passing each other in space. Also on the disc is a very good animation of a craft flying toward a planet.. the camera angle swings round bringing the craft into view - very neatly and cleverly done - requires 1meg of course! Disc 374: Yet more animations from Tobias Richter, this time theres not a Star-Trek animation to be seen! The first one is a billiard/pool table an shows an animated sequence, again its well done. Also are two animations of a road, where a lotus and an F-15 fly down (nice). 1meg needed for the billiard demo. Disc 406: The FROG Animation, many may have had this on the cover disc of Amiga format but this disc has extra sound effects and features for 1meg owners such as the daft speech done by me, and a few digitised effects. Music is Never Ending Story courtesy of Allister. Disc 416: The Agatron HUEY Helicopter animation, very nice uses Videoscape to create shadows as well. 1meg required - of course it is by Tobias Richter. Disc 423: 512K users have been somewhat left out in the cold as far as decent animations have been concerned so to make amends here are some! Featuring five animations including two very nice Star Trek Ones, now 512K users can live long and prosper! Animations by Tobias Richter. Disc 456: 4 nice animations on here, and for a change they all work fine in 512K! They are 'TreeFrog' by H Kane, Hammer by M Illingworth, Window by Cape and Walking Man by S Segal. All very nice 2 ray-traced and 2 animations (.anim files). Disc 463: Ghostpool and Amigadrip animations. Two really good animations here, the first is a 3d pool animation done in HAM and mimics a ghost playing pool. The second is a water drip that lands in a barrel - very nice ripple effect! Needless to say, its 1meg only. Disc 464: The extremely nice CX-1 animation featuring a spaceship flying around a glass ball. Very smooth, excellent HAM animation created with Sculpt 3D. 1meg only again. Disc 465: An excellent and very original animation by Dr Gandalf(!) featuring a small collection of stamps and a magnifying glass. Quite a long animation and extremely clever. 1meg only Disc 474: Hmm! Heres a rather splendid animation for all the 1meg owners... it is an animation of 2 girlies taking a shower.. yes ok thats a bit sexist.. sorry! Form an orderly queue here! 17Bit apologise for the inclusion of this disc.* *Well, not really. Disc 485: Heres a very nice animation "The Education of Cool Cougar" by Gene Brawn featuring Bucky Rabbit and Cool Cougar - who attempts to catch Bucky in this cartoon animation layed onto a digitised backdrop. 1meg only! Created with the Director scripting program.(once again) Disc 500: Two as yet unseen (as far as we know!) animations produced by a German chap called Michael Klein. Includes a fabulous Magician animation and a Jogger animation. Both have been created in 4096 colours with Sculpt Animate 3D. 1meg required. Disc 513: The Gymnast Animation. (1 meg only) Another brilliant Sculpt-Animate 3D animation. Features a Gymnast on the bar, spinning away before leaping of to a perfect landing. A must for any 1 meg owners out there. Disc 514: Space Ace Demo. Readysoft`s follow up to the amazing Dragons Lair (remember THE demo 181?) is here and it looks even better than the first! Nearly half a minute of top notch, near faultless animation from the game. PLUS Readysoft have excelled themselves in the compression department as they have managed to squeeze a whole host of samples in aswell, including the unforgetable "I`ve only been kidnapped by aliens, thats all!" One meg owners get a continous loop of the full demo, Half meg owners can choose between the first and second parts. Disc 515: Dionysus` PUGGS IN SPACE Animation. As featured in The One mag. Brilliant Demo from the Liverpool based proggrammers. Features Puggs an ugly red alien on a trip to earth. See him fall from his ship, get run over, get crushed by a falling helicopter and dance to Michael Jacko...& more.. Great Graphics, Great Music, Great Animation What more could you want? Disc 518: ** 2 Meg Animation ** Disc 519: These 2 discs require 2 meg (or more) of memory and a hard drive is reccomended. The anim is split into two parts and must be JOINed together first before running. A basic knowledge of CLI is needed. (although anyone with 2 megs of memory should have more than a basic knowledge!!) This is the Mission Anim, a fighter plane flies down on a mission to destroy a .... toilet! Great animation for all of those lucky enough to have the memory. Disc 520: ** 2 Meg Animation ** Disc 521: These 2 discs require 2 meg (or more) of memory and a hard drive is reccomended. The anim is split into two parts and must be JOINed together first before running. A basic knowledge of CLI is needed. (although anyone with 2 megs of memory should have more than a basic knowledge!!) This is the Head anim. Watch as the poor fellow removes his head and kicks it back into place!! Another classic animation, but anyone with less than 2 megs can "koff ome!" (Silly Phrase common amongst the 17Bit workforce!!!) Disc 527: MoonWalker Demo. Jacko hits your Amiga! Actually this isn`t that bad. A few pieces of animation from US Gold`s game of the film of the record of the operation of the strange mind. The best bit being the grand finale, featuring the infamous spin. ** 1 Meg only ** Disk 541: Agatron Animation Disk 22. Another Star Trek anim from the ultimate trekkie: Tobias Richter, The animation, called Approaching, features the main ship spinning and moving out of the screen, while the other ships continue their happy life of flying around! Another 1 meg only animation that continues the high standard of Tobias` work. Also on the disk is Binary Flight - A scrolling wireframe landscape. Disk 542: Agatron Animation Disk 23. Fleetmaneuver. BRILLIANT!!! This One meg Star Trek animation features several ships on a "fleet maneuver" flying around each other on-screen. Another first class anim for all you Trekkies/ animfans/ onemegowners out there!! Disk 543: Agatron Animation Disk 24. Kuli. Shock Horror! A Tobias Richter anim that doesn`t involve Star Trek!! This is an excellent original animation of a pen writing TEVOX on the screen, the letters then shrink and spin out into the distance. Ping-Pong, 2 Star Trek ships fly back and forth across the screen. Disk 559: Cue Fanfare... Anyone remember disks 81 & 82? The brilliant NewTek demo, well here we have the amazing follow up and it's even BETTER than its predecessor! This One meg only 2 disk demo features some unbelievable examples of the kind of thing you can produce using Newteks range of soft ware and Hardware. Theres some great little animations with synchronised sampled sounds & effects and the first public showing (we think) of Newteks DynamicHi-Res standard, a 4096 colour piccy in Hi Resolution and its gobsmacking! The whole demo takes a while to load and get going but once the action starts you'll be glued to the screen! Disk 560: Disk 2 of the Newtek Demo, dont forget you need 1 meg AND 2 drives to view this stonker of a demo! Disk 561: Electronic Arts Deluxe Video 3 demo. Features some great effects such as wipes, fades, and digitised animations! All put together in a very proffesional manner! Aswell as being of interest to home-video users who may be considering buying the final version this also serves as a pretty neat example of the Amigas capabilities! Disk 562: Disk 2 of the DeluxeVideo3 demo, requires the previous disk, One megabyte (or more) and 2 disk drives to run! Disk 572: VideoClips, done specially for 17Bit by our good mate the Cheapo Geordie (AKA Steve Heley), 4 digitised sequences (in B&W) from: Erasure (The Innocents), Beverley Hills Cop 2 (Playboy Mansion) Kylie Minogue (Videos 2) and last but definately NOT least a rather tasty looking girl from the only TV program to beat Magiver in the Unbelieve- abilty stakes, BAYWATCH!! All the action is backed by a HCC Erasure Remix. Works fine on half meg machines. Thanks to Cheapo for sending it in! (famous at last, eh Stevey!!) Disk 583: The Busy Bee Animation, featured in the library a while back but had to be withdrawn 'cause of a irrepairable disk error, well thanks to an anonymous member we have this brilliant animation back in the library, for those of you who haven't heard about it, this animation features a Sculpt3D designed Bee flying around (super-smoothly) the screen, hurridly beating it's wings. An amazing animation for all you one meg owners out there. Also on the disk is the tree frog anim. Disk 591: THE RUN! (Agatron Animation disk 25) An ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ONE MEG OWNERS!!! This superb animation has a "Out Run" style view point and features, in FULL 3D, a cop car chasing a red lotus down the road, both cars weave in and out of the other oncoming cars (which are also animated!) Tobias Richter has excelled himself with this one, the attention to detail is superb, the flashing lights, brake lights, spinning wheels, shadows, the lines on the road, EVERYTHING! One of the best, original animations we've seen in a long time... If only racing games were as good as this... Disk 592: Agatron Animations 27 - 3 More Animations from the master of Videoscape - Tobias Richter! BUCH - A very smooth animation of a book opening it's covers, very nice!! PYLON 1 & PYLON 2 - 2 more Star Trek animations featuring various Trekky objects flying around! More good stuff for all you One meg owners out there! Fans of Star Trek and Tobias Richter may be interested in the Star Trek game Tobias has written - see disks 595 and 596 for more info! Disk 593: Agatron Animations - Disconnect, a very good Star Trek animation featuring various Start Trek ships flying round the screen in their own manner. It's alive - a line drawing of the enterprise comes alive and flys away from the paper! More great anims for all you trekkies out there! Disk 604: "RubADubDub" X rated disk featuring 5 bouncy, bubbly, voluptious ladies doing things they normally only do in private but this time they did it for a famous Adult Video and were transferred to the Amiga for your enjoyment... The whole thing was grabbed using a Real time frame grabber then animated using Deluxe Paint3. Obviously the subject matter may be offensive to some (especially our female members) so if you're unsure don't buy! Then again if you're into this sort of thing this ones a MUST!! Many thanks to Gary Tinsley for sending it in to us! Works fine on half meg machines!!
