BADGE Killer Demo Contest 2 Winners and Prizes Announced
The third annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest was held during the
October BADGE meeting at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The
annual programming competition yielded an impressive variety of
graphic and audio displays that show off the Amiga's
capabilities. First place was awarded to Brad Schenk for The
Sentinel, a ray-traced animation featuring a medieval theme.
Schenk also was awarded the prize for best graphics.
Second place went to Roger Curren for his humorous cartoon
animation, The VAUX Killer Demo. Curren also won the award for
funniest demo. Commodore engineer Bill Koester placed third with
Amiga Trek, a ray-traced animation featuring a Star Trek-like
theme. Koester's demo also had the dubious distinction of being
the largest in size using eight 880K disks and requiring 8
megabytes of memory to run.
Most of the winning entries listed here are available on Fish
disks 263 through 272.
