| It is always amazing with how little resources such visual and acoustic productions can be realized. Especially the 64K competitions on the PC are impressive. It would be a huge progress for the Amiga 68k community if Natami could visually tie there.

Well, the PC demos are using hundreds of megabytes of ready-made DirectX libs. The PC demo scene was more impressive during the DOS era when people did things totally from scratch, like people still do on Amiga. (If you do not count using tried and true routines, like Kalms/TBLs C2P methods, etc.)

| Even considering that, some 64k demos are really cool.

Remove all rendering constraints and the 64kiB demos are still impressive. Procedural generation of geometry and textures, smart code and aggressive compression of all types of data including the machine code.
Of course it wouldn't be realistic to do those things without powerful GPUs and processors. Hopefully the Natami will enable comparable stuff on the Amiga platform...
