Agreed. It sounds like Photon Storm ( link to dl : http://www.minotaurproject.co.uk/lc-16bit.php#2 )

*edit* For future reference if anyone's looking for ANY psychedelic game/program, check the Llamasoft catalogue first

Sorry to double-post, but on the back of that I'd never noticed until just now that in the So Watt demo folder, there's a 'Main menu' tune. My copy of that demo was silent on the screen selection, and the images I've seen on emulator are the same. Anyone know where this tune is if it is in the So Wa...

I didn't know this but Bangkok Knights is a C64 martial arts game - a Rob Hubbard conversion. The version in the SNDH archive sounds more grungy. The nice version is featured in the 3D Doc demo from the Carebears Cuddly Demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aERwdxbHlAU I think that the version use...

Thanks for posting this link! I used to love looking at the scene pics in bttr.

It may well be something i'm doing, but I can't get 0913 or strange robots to run in Hatari. I downloaded the zip from demozoo, used zip2st to convert it os an .st image and tried running both from GEM, 0913 bombs out just after it starts and strange robots just doesn't work. I've tried TOS 1.6 and ...

Hatari comes with a handy zip2st tool. It creates an .st disk image from ZIP file contents with mtools and dd. Great thing :9 And you can use the supplied hmsa afterwards to make a .msa file out of it. Apologies for the thread revival but thanks for that! I was trying to work out how to play Giana ...

Virtual Escape for your 512KB machine. Odd stuff for your 1Mb machine Fantasia for your MegaST Sea of Colour for your STE Falcon: Sonoluminzsenze (or however it's written), Underscore Stacy: Monogatari You've got the TT covered. Yeah, that trumps my poor effort; I was old-school mindset when i post...

For the 520ST I'd suggest the grusel demo as it's well done, fun and in my opinion shows the progression from 8 to 16 bits. failing that or to follow the micromix 1 demo to demonstrate how demos progressed. Oherwise I'd suggest the cuddly demos except the spreadpoint demo has the more profound word ...

It's slow, clunky, a pain to navigate and you probably all know about it but http://www.archive.org has a few ST CD's (including the 'no fragments' collection) as well as older PC and Amiga CD's (including the 4 disc 'Amiga mod archive' that I struggled to find elsewhere). Aside from a link for the ...

Nope, but good luck selling to the numerous millennial collectors on ebay; I'm sure your friend will make a packet.

There was also a demo with a blue silhouette of a woman dancing. Having had a quick look it was (as I remembered) on the delerious demo by the french alliance ('dancing demo' by the overlanders) - I later found out they'd ripped the animation from a strip poker game.

The ST was generally a machine that could cope with one disk drive (unlike the amiga ;) ). From what I remember most two-disk megademos specified in the main menu which disk the demo was on. If I'm honest I only had a second floppy drive for a short while and while I don't recall which demos used it...

I'll stop looking through Atari 800 games then. Glad you found them!

Right, I'm up to 'M' on the Atari 800 games on atarimania and nothing like that yet. If I get some time I'll carry on tomorrow.

On the plus side for me I've seen a load of Atari 8 bit games I want to give a go so I'll add some onto my retropie, er, pi.

I love the sketches! :) But I don't think these are ST games; the small hint for me was 'one of several games on a cartridge , the ST was disk-based (easy mistake - a friend at work said they had an ST, followed by "You had to load games from tape, didn't you?" - They didn't see my fist until it was...

RIP Ben, thoughts are with your friends and family.

He'll never beat that as GFA is more powerful than STOS

I think this is on more formats than lemmings was! A quick youtube trail displayed a C64 version, one for the coleco (or intelivision - I always get those two confused) and even the VCS! With obvious Atari bias I still think the STe version looks (and sounds) the best, but they are all quite a techn...

Well done you

If I'm honest I don' think I ever got past the second screen. Now I know you have to collect the lanterns to progress! I really should start reading manuals to games, but I think it's to late for me.

I don't recall that many more productions coming out on the Amiga. Not quality ones. You probably missed a lot of good demos then, Amiga had its share of amazing demos, a lot. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm familiar (or I thought I was) with the releases the came out when the machine...

Interesting. I remember hooking my ST up to my mate's A500 for some stunt car racer action. I forgot Lotus II had an option for link up an I'll confess at the time I figured it was ST-ST or Amiga-Amiga only, and I didn't know it was up to four players using two machines (serves me right for getting ...

Guytp: Even back then it was bigger... Believe me... I'm the master of the archives and I have actual numbers. Kestra has over 70.000 entries: http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/search.php while my Archive has about 24000 ST entries.... ftp://fujiology.untergrund.net/users/ltk_tscc/fujiology/ do the mat...

Maybe now but I was referring to over 30 years ago and I don't recall that many more productions coming out on the Amiga. Not quality ones. The may have been more but triple?

I found back then that Amiga demos displayed presentation whilst the ST ones showed technical achievement, almost trying to catch up with the Amiga's abilities in many cases (something I denied for many years since 1989 until a few years back, when someone on another forum simply said 'the amiga cos...
