Hamulet test - Large HAM bobs - An impressive animation display for the Commodore Amiga

The Commodore Amiga scene always surprises me, if it's not amazing demos running on stock A500's, it's games such as Castlevania, Abbey(s) of the Dead or even Wonderboy running at high frame rates that would put most Commodore classics to shame. But today's news is something special indeed for this system of greatness, as remz has just wow'd the Amiga community with an impressive animation display of Large HAM bobs via his Hamulet test. For those of you who don't know what HAM is "Hold-And-Modify, usually abbreviated as HAM, is a display mode of the Commodore Amiga computer. It uses a highly unusual technique to express the color of pixels, allowing many more colors to appear on screen than would otherwise be possible".
