absolutely awesome!!! I will enjoy that vid. I would be curious to see Amiga animations and stills that other FF members have done  set the way-back machine for 1986 and put on your VHS goggles for raytracing from my Amiga screen

While I had little to do with gaming, it was the Amiga that really championed Computer Art as we have come to know it....to me a milestone even larger than gaming. I still have a stack of magazines I did the cover for and articles.....I even did some of the first ray traced morphing animations, wouldn't mind seeing them again myself....but also used plenty of fractals in my imagery

I had taught myself to code on a Dragon 32 and 64 including 6809 assembler and by 1989 when moving to North Wales I'd moved on to an AtariST and the 68000 - I rang the nos in the yellow pages for Colwyn Bay area trying to find a source for ST computer games and rang "Mr.Chip" in Llandudno - turned out they were a software developer not seller and I said I was a programmer and did they want someone else working there - I was asked in for an interview and was grilled by the (now famous) sout i.e. Shaun Southern author of Lotus, Kid Chaos, Supercars 1&2 and the International Rally series. Mr. Chip (8-bit) became Magnetic Fields (16-bit) and I wrote the ST version of Supercars and the ST/Amiga versions of Super Scramble Simulator and then of course Crystal Dragon for the Amiga.
When being grilled by Shaun I was lucky coz I'd just worked out the completely insane pixel format on the ST - something that he was trying to work out himself at the time.....
