Wasn't that "Toyota Celica GT"? I remember the wipers and the moving steering wheel...
Yep, that's it. There's a video on YouTube. On the snow stage, your windscreen gradually obscured unless you used the wipers. It seemed the most realistic thing ever at the time.Was anyone into demos? Just put the disc in and watch a display of graphics and music? I used to go into a grubby backstreet computer shop in Oldham, search through a paper catalogue and pay a bit if money for the shop keeper to make a disc copy. I had a demo called "Jesus on Es" that was awesome at the time.
ETA: a link to said demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_ww9A8LRt0&fea...

Just remembered the Gremlin / Magnetic Fields intro with Wagner in stunning mono sound.
Intro here:

The Amiga's sound was stereo, it could play 8-bit sampled PCM audio over 4 channels (two in the left channel and 2 in the right). The ST was mono, and pants.Intro here:

Amiga was better for sound and graphics, having the dedicated chips - made it the better games and graphics machine. ST had a weedy sound chip by comparison but still did pretty well in the games front. It did better on the productivity front and was widely used in recording studios (including mine) thanks to its MIDI sockets and take up in the music software world. Also in DTP for a while as it had a mono high resolution mode.Gassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
