Is it just me, but the background to that robocity look EXTREMLELY like
the shot from Monkey Island 1 where you have that pirate in middle in fromt
of the door trying to flog you the dance step map and to the left would be
the 3 pirates and the rat.

It look just like it but blockerised (or whatever the term is).

But if it is 'one of the original Amiga demos' I guess that can't be the
case, but I swear it is...

Kind regards...
