Transmortal by Arc Empire
_________________________


   Although a bit of a corny choice for the first of THE
demos, Transmortal, really does deserve it, due to the
amazing speed of the vector routines used. Vector graphics
are the best medium for the Archimedes, due to the speeds
that can be achieved.

   This is certainly the case with Transmortal, although
plenty of credit definately needs to be given to Arc
Empire. The main vector routines feature objects with huge
numbers of polygons, and quite a reasonable frame rate is
retained as you observe them bouncing around the screen

   A special mention also has to be given to the morphing
used in the later parts of the demo. A perfect sphere made
from dots transforms into all sorts of shapes, and is very
impressive.

   So to sum up, probably the best Archie demo so far,
although BIA's new megademo may possibly push it from the
top spot when it is released.
