Amiga Boing Ball
amigang
The original Amiga Boing Ball demo, written at the Winter CES in January 1984 to show off the Amiga's hardware, with a bouncing, spinning checkered ball running while the system multitasked. It became the Amiga's unofficial emblem.
HN people recall it with nostalgia as an impressive feat for its era, used as an example of the Amiga's graphics ability.
