Yesterday Jon asked me if we should do a small challenge. The challenge was to find a cracktro on youtube and do our own version of it. So it was not ment as an exact 1-1 remake, but just something that looked the part.
Here is the result of my efforts:

Classic and well used tune by D-Zire in this one, thanks for crediting him :) It's a great song.
The effect is cool too.
Hetero must have made more cracktros than anyone else.. He made some really cool ones for Razor.
Here's my favourite of his..
Zawran linked me that one at first shockwave, but I thought it might take abit more than day to code :)
In the end Zawran picked a simpler effect so he could do it all with the software render framework he posted, which seems to be proving itself nice and fast at some things :kewl:
My drawing skills is probably bad enough that I could draw something similar to that in the Razor cracktro. I also have an idea about how to make something similar, so you never know, perhaps some day. I already have another one picked that I will be doing next, but this way of making tributes to these cracktros fits well with my software framework, and its quite fun, so I might do a few.
Stormbringer would surely appreciate any 1:1 remakes you can make with it Zawran :)
There's a lot of old Amiga people over there (retro-remakes.net) who love them too...

I'm not sure I would want to make any 1:1 remakes, since they are already there either in video form or could be run in dosbox or amiga emulators. I rather just do tributes which are similar, but where I have made changes that makes them different.
Nice cracktro. The tune is indeed well chosen!
