Reanimators #6





Do The Math

Reanimators #6 features cool fx with a superb chiptune (hmm, it sounds familiar). You know me, I love sine scrollers, and this one is a belter and displayed using the full range of lovely rainbow colours. On the disk is Thunderstrike, an incredible 3D shoot 'em up with great graphics - like an early Cybermorph ;-)

wave upon wave






Musax!!

There are many amazing artists, and I've always had a soft spot for the guys that make up the incredible YM Rockerz. So here is the wonderful compilation called "wave upon wave", which they released 17 years ago! It features tracks by their awesome musicians: 505, D-Force, Dma-Sc, Tao, Lotek Style, and Milhouse.

It's impossible to pick a favourite, but I love Shifter by Tao, which you can listen to by clicking on the GEM green arrow. Check out the YM Rockerz website ... I think I'm going to listen to "Seven" again tonight!

Midnight Sun




ST GLAM!!

I've just been going through the latest uploads on Demozoo, and there have been many incredible releases of demos, artwork, and music from both the Outline and Sommarhack parties. I'm constantly blown away by what the DHS boys can produce: the video is of Midnight Sun for the Atari STe (running overscan).

Now check out these screenshots for an idea of what the Atari ST #demoscne is capable of knocking out. Remember, YouTube is good, but nothing beats the experience of using a real Atari ST/e computer.
