El Gato demo by Blair-Sullivan, 1987 #Amiga

¡Largo como el gato!

This doesn't look like much today, but you need 1mb of chip ram to load and run this demo.

I think 512 chip+512 fast (slow in trapdoor) was enough.

Yeah! I remember 1 Mb ram was the grail!

Indeed 512kb were enough, but then the cat anim does flip direction when the frame rotates.

A massive amount in 1987!

Flash back - actually did get this demo on floppy while in school a long long long time ago . Haven’t seen it since 1988 probably… thanks 🙏

Didn't this have cool music too?

My disk never had any music, but it seems it does exist, unless they edited music over on the video to make things more interesting.

I never saw that before.
That is very impressive for 1987

Yes!!! One of my all-time favorites. Ran it on my A500 a lot

Graphics? On *my* computer?

Fascinating

I remember sitting at friends place seeing that and saying ”no way, that I so cool!”

Very nice. I miss the scene.
