Oxygene STNICCC 2000 Final / Atari STF version - http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=1251

Demo in grafica poligonale con audio campionato mixato in real-time su più canali ("HexTracker replay routine by Paulo Simoes on STF"). Un vero tour de force per il 68000...

N.B.: il video si riferersce alla recente versione per Atari ST "standard" (originariamente la demo era STE-only ed usava un altro tracker e routine audio diverse in ragione del DMA chip in dotazione all'STE)

bellissimi questi demo

Penso che molto del loro fascino dipenda dal fatto che quasi tutti girano su un hardware come l'Atari ST, sistema non dotato di coprocessori dedicati che non puo' in teoria visualizzare piu' di 16 colori in contemporanea da una tavolozza di 512 (modalita' lo-res 320X200 -N.B.: il limite di 16 colori e' aggirabile-) e monta un chip audio piuttosto "basilare", molto simile a quello dell'Amstrad CPC. Alla fine molto si riduce ad un'appassionante sfida tra coder, grafici e musicisti McGyver e Motorola 68000, modalita' video e chip sonoro.

... e a proposito della tavolozza 512 colori, ecco alcune immagini realizzate tramite il software Spectrum 512 ( http://www.asterius.com/atari/spectrum.html )... su Atari ST (in questo caso i 512 colori non sono solo una tavolozza... e ne vengono utilizzati molti, ma molti di più dei "canonici" -per l'ST- 16-on-screen)

Houba demo di Zuul ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=18694 ) - niente male come demo... ma l'elemento secondo me più eclatante è la chip music di Jean-Sébastien Gerard (Jess), "Sharpness Buzztone":

Un'"infornata" di nuove Atari ST demo... dal Sillyventure 2013 ( http://dhs.nu/news.php )

"Ok, so demos have begun to come in, first up we have six of them:

Second Reality 2013 by Checkpoint
This is a big big demo which faithfully reproduces the orignal PC-demo from 1993. Coding by Defjam and lsl, graphics by mOdmate, music by Dma-Sc and mOdmate and 3D-modelling by Pandur.

Elefantastic by Genesis Project
A surprise for sure. Genesis Projects first demo on Atari. It has a nice theme with good animated graphics. Code by Shadow, graphics by Mermaid, music by MCH and Mermaid.

One Trick Pony by Rave Network Overscan
A great 4k intro for the ST. Many effects, original music and even some graphics. Code and music by Britelite, graphics by Bracket.

Monogatari by Cerebral Vortex
Wow! The first big hi-res monochrome demo. Previously we've seen single screens on some mega demos, but this is something else. Code+graphics by Orion_ and Templeton, music by 505.

Fujiology by .tSCc.
The second prod from .tSCc.'s new coder Insane. This time it's a much more ambitious production with several parts that presents the forthcoming ST demo collection from Lotek Style. Coding by Insane, graphics and music by Lotek Style, graphics by Bracket and even more graphics by Ukko.

Spkr2 by Spkr
Almost a brand new coder from The Netherlands, it's Spkr's second demo and this time he's left C behind to code the entire thing in Assembler, it shows. A much improved demo since the last time. Code by Spkr and music by Tyan."

STrange roboTS by blabla - Un nuovo Atari STE demo dal Silly Venture 2013 ( http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62142 ):

[AlextheLioNet]

A proposito della demo Second Reality e della relativa musica di Purple Motion, ecco un'altra "rilettura AtariSTica" del modulo originale (per la verità il'SNDH che segue rende meglio rispetto a quello della demo Second Reality 2013, ma va detto che determinate "tecniche" utilizzate per rendere le Atari ST chiptune relativamente più "corpose" hanno un minimo di ricaduta sulle prestazioni della CPU e quindi non sempre è possibile avvalersene nelle demo che più pesano sul 68000) ...

Second Reality Main Theme - Atari YM Chiptune Version (il notevole tema musicale di Purple Motion appunto "reinterpretato" nel 2006 dal PSG chip Yamaha YM-2149 -by Dubmood / RaZoR 1911-):

Blood di Holocaust (versione Atari 1040 ST -la versione STE è parzialmente ottimizzata per valorizzare le specifiche di questo sistema e presenta alcune differenze rispetto a quella per ST "standard"-; "Recorded fro my Atari STFM (1 MB) using Micomsofts SC500n1 RGB capturecard, software used is AmarecTV and Virtualdub" -Stefan Lindberg-)
