Atari ST demos [part one]

Back to the beginning

I decided to make a video showcasing a limited selection of the earlier Atari ST demos that hold a special place in my heart. You know, those productions that made our brains, eyes, and ears explode with shock and excitement when we saw our new computer doing things it was never supposed to be able to do.

I hope you enjoy this video, and I've also added one of my favourite chiptunes as a cool backing track, Best Part Of The Creation by Big Alec. A mesmerising tune from "Punish Your Machine", which is also one of the few medium-resolution screens for the ST. Everything is available on AtariMania and Demozoo.

This is what I decided to pick:

• README.PRG by The Exceptions: Come on, nobody expected this when double-clicking the icon!
• Little Color Demo by The Exceptions: This is something I love to listen to over and over.
• Full Screen Demo by Level 16: Both my TV and I were blown away by this stunning feat!
• The Union Demo by The Union: I still remember ordering this!! What a moment in time.
• The Cuddly Demos by The Carebears: To me, this felt like Union Demo II. Ace STuff.
• Overdrive Demo by Phalanx: That menu. Wow, incredible!! How did they do it?
• Mindbomb by The Lost Boys: Possibly the best demo team? Ohhh what have I just said? lol

Update: I've made a follow-up video. Clickety Click! :)
