does anyone have images or perhaps even video footage of the 3DO M2 first person 'Dungeon' demo ? also sometimes referred to as the 'Doom' or 'Shooter' demo. circa 1995-96. This demo was either a pre-rendered sequence or real-time sequence on an SGI workstation, simulating the M2's capabilities.
more discription: there was a warrior like monster fighting you. I remember it had a shield. I think maybe the monster blocked the players attack (shot or strike with sword) with that shield. it all took place in a tight cave environment. it was so cool. seemed super smooth, 60fps.
I rememeber seeing this demo on television and being totally blown away, thinking that M2 games would look like this. The quality of this demo sequence was probably around Dreamcast graphics level, probably more than the real M2 could handle.
this demo is probably the 2nd most famous demo for the M2. the most famous would be the "M2 Car Demo" aka
"M2 Racing Demo"
Now that I've researched this more (thus my editing of this post) I can say that both of those M2 demos (Car and Dungeon) were really simulations of M2 on an SGI workstation. supposedly done on-the-fly, realtime, and not prerendered.
Help! I am desperate to find images or video of the 1st person 'Dungeon' demo for M2. I used to have a VHS recording of it back when it was shown off in 95-96 but that's looooong gone.
