Spaceballs' 9 Fingers, an Amiga demoscene demo released at The Party in 1993, recaptured here in 50fps HD. It is the follow-up to their demo State of the Art.

Why Hacker News points people here: HN cites it as a mind-blowing example of 1990s demoscene technique on Amiga hardware.

The “European hacker-culture demo” from Ezra’s Amiga is likely State Of The Art or 9 Fingers from Spaceballs — both really cool scene demos: link this video These easily run on an Amiga 500 ES from the 80s, and are stored on a single floppy disk.
