arsantica demo for Atari 8-bit

[@tharkthax3960]

This is why I kept my Atari stuff. Always knew it was better than we thought! Total respect to the programmers in this epic achievement.

[@Heaven6502]

Thanks guys. We had a lot of fun in coding the demo.

[@tharkthax3960]

One of my favourite Atari demos. Often load it up! Along with cyberpunk and numen. Awesome work , I could only ever program in basic and write tunes on music composer. 🙂

Mind blown! I just ordered a Atari XEGS cant wait to try this out on it.

[@RandyFemrite]

jonnie scott Just ordered from where? Would love add disk drive to mine.

If you look at the Machine Architecture of these computers, you can clearly see how they have evolved into an Amiga :).

[@theannoyedmrfloyd3998]

DehnusNorder The chips of the Atari 8-bit and the Amiga were designed by the same guy.

@@theannoyedmrfloyd3998 yeah it was weird how they kinda swapped staff via walk outs and buy outs

[@RetroMarkyRM]

sounds like a C64! impressive :)

[@eduardopupucon]

Before one can be an author, one must be an artist first.

[@tharkthax3960]

Star raiders II has similar graphics, the part where they flying over planet.

[@xcimbal]

[@petsasjim1]

THANK YOU.VERY NICE VIDEO REALLY AMAZING (AND I LIKED A LITTLE BIT LESS arsantica demo 2 & 3)

[@SvetiMFNikola]

Can someone tell me what is happening in these video, what is all about?

[@s2325]

It's demonstration of programming skills with obsolete hardware from 1979.

[@SvetiMFNikola]

s2325 are you crazy, you said that's programming from hardware 79. OMG respected who did this. =)

[@Heaven6502]

FuckYouGoogle XL/XE 64kb RAM, PAL

[@KuraIthys]

That's a bit of a pointless question... A few OS quirks aside, they all run the same software... Well, of course the early ones may not have enough RAM... But still. XD

[@Truckerfighter]

Da kann man mal sehen was der kleine XL/XE Computer an Grafik so fähig ist.....GUT!!

[@Jebbidan]

if the demo shows what the system can do and can capable of then why the fuck did the programmer didn't even bother pushing the system to its maximum potential by creating a games that pushed this system to the limits?

[@Emulous79]

Not such a load of arse, after all.
