capabilities.   First place was awarded to Brad Schenk for The
Sentinel, a ray-traced animation featuring a medieval theme. 
Schenk also was awarded the prize for best graphics.

Second place went to Roger Curren for his humorous cartoon
animation, The VAUX Killer Demo.  Curren also won the award for
funniest demo.  Commodore engineer Bill Koester placed third with
Amiga Trek, a ray-traced animation featuring a Star Trek-like
theme.  Koester's demo also had the dubious distinction of being
