Here are all 30 demos featured on MindCandy Volume 2: Amiga Demos. We have added links to the original files for your downloading convenience. Of course, if you still have one or more running Amigas, you probably already have most of them. The first 12 demos will run on a plain, classic Amiga 500. The rest will require an A1200 or better with AGA graphics and at least a 68020 CPU (preferably a 68030 or 040). Lapsuus and Silkcut will require the highest end Amiga CPU, a 68060. Fate Fits Karma is unique; it requires a PowerPC add-on board.
The rest of you can still check out the demos through emulators. That's right, we're saying you can just watch these on your PC instead of buying the DVD, but MindCandy is much more convenient, and free of emulator bugs :). We recommend WinUAE for Windows, although there are ports of UAE for other platforms as well. Unfortunately, they've yet to emulate PPC, so Fate Fits Karma is out. As you can see, the demos come packed in two formats: DMS and LHA. A DMS is a floppy disk image, and WinUAE will open it directly. LHA is an archive format, like ZIP, which is most popular on Amiga. Many modern archive apps support LHA (or LZH, which is the same). For emulators, these must be extracted inside a hard drive image or to your virtual HD directory.
