THE CURE

WHAT IS THIS?

THE CURE is a demo (i.e. demoscene production) for classic Amiga computers.
You can watch it by playing the video below and, if you happen to have a suitable computer, also run it (which is preferable as, due to technical reasons, the video quality is inferior to the actual one).

You can also listen to the music in higher quality (for the technical details, see the "About the music" discussion in the Community section):

WHICH DEMOPARTY WAS IT RELEASED AT?

The Solskogen 2020, in the oldskool compo... and it ranked first!

REQUIREMENTS

Amiga computer, AGA chipset, 68030 @ 50 MHz, ~32 kB of CHIP RAM, ~15 MB of FAST RAM, ~15 of MB storage space, PAL-capable display, stereo loudspeakers

The demo is designed to run constantly at 50 fps. If the machine it runs on is not powerful enough, music will stutter, the video refresh will slow down and some graphics will look cropped at the top - the frequency and seriousness of these issues will depend on the actual capabilities of the machine. The following picture shows the performance on the machines the demo has been tested on and, indirectly, how much power the various demo parts require.
