The majority of the software is 3D demos ("graphics demos") and intros, which are what "demoscene" is most commonly associated with, although some "2D" demos, music, mini games and even 3D modelling software, all related to demoscene (such as programs authored by Mac "sceners" to aid in creating more demos) are contained here.ĭemos often share a few similar characteristics with "multimedia presentations" that were common in the late 80s and the 90s, but it may be argued they belong to a category of their own. The list is not yet complete, but it is pretty big, with roughly a bit over a 100 demos & similar software currently archived.
3D MAX FOR MACINTOSH MAC OS
This is a collection of all Mac demos & related software for Macintosh Systems from Mac OS 9.2.2 to pre-release System 1, for multiple Macintosh computer models, both PowerPC and 68k. Soon after, the first demos appeared for the Power Macintosh and a small demo scene emerged (1998-2003). They could get their hands on an amount of processing power, which you only could dream of some years before. With the release of the Power Macintosh 7200 with the PowerPC 601 chip in 1995, a computer with a workstation-like RISC chip became affordable for many computer enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the x86 assembly language of the IBM PC was not as comfortable as the 68k assembly language. As they were used on their old computers, they wanted to program their new machines in C and assembly language to boost the performance to the maximum. In the early 1990s, many assembly coders were switching from the home computer lines (Atari ST, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga) to the PC and Macintosh.
