(By Thomas Abrahamsson)
Once
upon a time there was an Amiga Demo crew named Magic. We released a megademo,
as well as some pretty advanced demo screens. Furthermore, we morphed ourselves
into what became known as "Magic Design"; a game producing crew. We created a
few handy tools and almost finished an impressive shoot-em-up game called "The
hunt for paradise".
Today, we have all carried on with our lives, educating ourselves and sold our amigas, However, this site is dedicated to the memory of our beloved demo-crew and all the great fun we had in those days. Who knows, the star of magic might rise once again in a distant future, revealing another dawn of magic!
Until
then, you find quite a few screenshots, photos and downloadable applications
on this page. Some of them might even run on Amiga emulators (now, or in the
future?).
To run
these, convert them to ADF files using that utility you find somewhere at this
page, then use these ADF's in your favourite amiga emulator. Some demos work
OK, some have palette or colour problems while others crashes or guru-meditates.
It's worth a try, though!
Some ancient
photos: Thomas and his amiga, Johan in shades, Tobbe on the ground
and Johan again in a borrowed S.O.M. T-shirt :-)

Some
nice screenshots from "The Dawn of Magic",
The hunt for Paradize
The magic design shoot-em-up game.
One level was completed, with a big-boss at the end and everything.
Featured some impressively smooth scrolling and hot action.
Have a look at these screenshots!
The Hunt For
Freakout
An arkanoid/breakout clone. A full game complete
with music, scrolling, hiscores and much more! Enjoy!
Fraqtal
This
was coded mainly by Nexus, who love fractals. Thesescreens were done as "TIC", the inner circle. Don't ask me
for the reason why Magic needed an inner circle, I don't know...

I and Cel (Thomas) completed the summer of 1995. You may even download
it if you have an A1200 or any other AGA machine. This is a 100% pure
assembler game (it may not show, but its the truth...)"
The hyperdrive screen In a galaxy far, far away...
The fight screen In Medias Res
The victory screen! "Only dust remained of the
once prosperous alien planet."
