It came to be through various ideas that culminated in a benchmark the world have never seen before. Then they did it all over again in 2001 with the benchmark many hold in the highest of regard.

To date, FM/MO has struggled/continues to struggle to maintain its 2000, 2001 success.

This is not a slam against FM/MO. Its just it seems that something has been lost in the benchmarks as they grew. The creativity that seemed abundant in early 3dmark releases like 3dmark 99 MAX, and later 2000, and 2001 seems lost. There were alot of things in the demo's that didn't show up in the tests.

To be honest after 2001 I completely lost interest in the benchmarks. I really liked the XL-R8R demo with its Abyss references. FM needs to work more pop culture parodies and nods back into it. The early stuff was rife with it.
