Demo by the German coder Face Hugger released in 1992.

The Ultimate Megademo was widely regarded as the most ambitious and successful CPC demo since Logon System's The Demo, though the two took very different approaches - The Demo concentrated on polish and overall appearance while the Ultimate Megademo won acclaim for the pioneering code techniques used. It made heavy use of vector calculations, particularly with animations of moving balls; other ingenious features included sample playback and 50Hz motion picture animation.
