Something modern on Amiga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsJnMWX1qa0

There is a Bad Apple on an oscilloscope and a TI calculator so obviously there would be an Amiga version. Not as impressive as the Commodore C64 version which is an insane feat of compression: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=131628 (reminds me of the famous state of the art amiga demo).

Briefly Bad Apple was a sport akin to porting Doom to the most unexpected platform you could think of.

That shadow demo is all pre rendered though right? Like stats of the art?

The file extension was .anim, It's probably a standard IFF ANIM file. It's a format that contains RLE encoded diff-XOR-data(so you can play the video backwards).
