Info about Cascada: http://demozoo.org/groups/7926/
Classic DOS demo that is notable for being the first PC demo with 4-channel .MOD mixing. Requires 80286-12 and VGA, and can use an LPT DAC as well as the speaker for output.
Warning: This is the entire demo and includes 13 minutes of scrolltext.
This video is 24p because it was the cleanest way to convert the video which runs at the full framerate of 70Hz (adjust 70 to 72 and then /3). Until YouTube supports more than 30p, this is as clean as you can get without motion artifacts.
