IIGS Demo Scene reviewed
Ninjaforce takes a look at the Apple IIGS demoscene

   
 

What is the major difference of the Apple IIGS to its predecessors?
Graphics and Sound, of course!

As with all computer models at all the times, the manufacturers have a certain idea of how their product should be used. Demos certainly don't comply with any such strategy. They exist for whatever reason: propaganda, hype, or just plain fun. For the IIGS, many of them may have made the user wonder: "my GS can do that?!"

So take a look at what the this machine CAN do!

Viewing tips

All demos have their own operating system, so you can set the boot slot of the GS to 5, insert a disk and reboot. Some demos run only under GS/OS, which you can download from here. In general, it is best to have a Rom 1 GS available, since some of the demos don't work with a Rom 3 machine. If you happen to own a real IIGS, use our Asimov utility to transfer the disk image files to 3.5" disks.
