Yeah the commercial games industry ignored it which is a shame but there was lots of support in the other areas ofc. You might be interested in this link: ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Atari%20STe
It still seems to be a thing among st demos that the credits are as long as the demo and after all these years still predominantly feature and wavy text. :D
Great stuff :) I'm glad the STE has the demo scene to help show its true potential, given its capabilities were largely ignored by game devs during its lifetime
There are no enemies any longer. Only old school friends. I owned both an Amiga and ST. Not an STe, but I am looking into getting one. I have an A1200 in front of me. What I really want is a Falcon, but they are hard to get.
See frame @ 1:35, what paint program was this one done? It looks like 4096 colors, correct (48 color per scan line?)? What paint pic file format that supports 256 colors, 512 colors, 4096 colors on Atari Mega ST4? Thanks
This is different here, as are basically all demos.. you might like this link: democyclopedia.wordpress.com/2017/11/24/c-for-colour-cycling/ But there are a number of options to paint/display photos with lots of colours. Look for Spectrum 512, SPX, Quantum Paint or PhotoChrome (LOVE this), and even Neochrome kinda. You might also be interested in overscan too? Like the Fullscreen Construction Kit, as an example... ataricrypt.blogspot.com/search?q=overscan
Thanks AtariCrypt for your help. But I need a simple copy n paste tool or even auto generated tool in a photoshop-like software with at least 2 windows open (one for workspace + the other window for me to copy/paste multiple photo clippings) on my Atari Mega ST4. So it can display a collection montages of several photos that was taken from old digital camera (jpeg format). For example, I put a floppy disk in (full of JPEG pics), open one jpeg file, then use resize tool, so i can see smaller photo, frame this photo to resize it, move and drop it to different area on display monitor, it should show it in 4096 color mode. Then, repeat process, open other jpeg pic from disk, resize this photo, move n drop it to different area, so on... until I get ALL of jpeg photo in rows n columns on screen. so what software that can do this? I dont want 16 color standard neochrome foir artistic purpose. All i need is to do image processing (move, cut, copy, paste, contrast, saturate, etc) to display these smaller jpegs photos.. in a given (variable) number of rows x columns to see jpegs from this floppy disk in my 320 x 200 low resolution mode, with hardware trick 4096 colors. Thanks for help
AtariCrypt website I know..I'm sick, I can't help it..it's such a catchy track. I'm not afraid to admit I have a problem ripping down awesome Atari St tunes and playing in public..to hell with them all :)
There is no way the Amiga could do this! The only reason some Amiga games are better is because the ST took years to master and had several hidden chips that were only found later.
The Atari STe version is more capable than the original ST models, but software game companies tend to design for the least common denominator so that the software runs on the largest number of computers. Without having customized versions of the game for each hardware variant the game may not take advantage of all of the hardware in a particular computer mode!. The Amiga and the ST are both based on the Motorola 68000 processor and in many cases games for the ST and Amiga targeted the 68000 and mostly ignored specialized hardware in either the ST of the Amiga.
I agree, both machines are icons of the era and something that's missing from today's computing world. You now need another two STe's to balance our your room! :D
Great Music! Almost good enough to be an Amiga demo. Pity 2/3rds of the graphics are text and chatter in lieu of effects. Stretching it out that long and the short tune gets really repetitive fast. Good attempt.

I got my STE for Christmas 1989 when it was first launched. Was gutted when it wasn't supported by games developers. This is a great demo.

Thanks for that link, lots of STE-related stuff on that.
Thanks, I try to push the STe best I can. There's a lot of good stuff out there :)
Got mine 1991 - same thing. It was just sad to see this capable machine only being used in some demos... but anyway: these rock!
Great sound....even today...I miss my old ST...
Grab one of eBay? Make sure it's the STe model so you can easily upgrade the RAM at a later stage. Nothing beats real hardware.

Yeah I agree. Thought the same many times lol it’s a little weird
Great stuff :) I'm glad the STE has the demo scene to help show its true potential, given its capabilities were largely ignored by game devs during its lifetime
It's better now than it was in the 90s, games and demos. Impressed what this old beast can do!
@@AtariCrypt It gives us oldies hope eh Steve? :-D
@@CaptainD2007 oldies ? Lol yeah!!
@@AtariCrypt The more famous Dave Seaman is older than me! :-p And richer, more successful, etc etc but we don't need to go into that :-D
For what Atari had, this is fucking insane! As an old Amiga fanboy, gotta admit this is prolly my fav track

Top du top. Une des meilleures sur Ste 👍
Agreed!
Sounds and looks awesome, glad I got an STE
I always liked that picture at 1:35
Fantastic demo - nice music and some terrific visual effects.
Wow ! Beautiful !
whaou. impressive stuffs. I enjoy the twister with sample effect a lot :)
This is slick. Makes me sad that games never really delivered for STE and were just build for ST
I agree. But play Roger to cheer yourself up ;) ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/roger.html
Super 🎶
:-)
Fantastic !!! Also great to hear another groovy track from CrazyQ : )
Incredible! Love the tune!
Awesome

Nice work, gentlemen :)
Great STE demo. Little Kraftwerk vibe there. :)
Seriously digging that track to this savage demo. So much it ended up in car's MP3 player :)
Geek!!

Hmm thinking about it, I'd say you're perfectly normal. Get down to that funky bleep!
I like it very much
great demo
Great Music!

The chips weren't hidden lol, it just wasn't economically viable to utilise the extended options, many home coders did though
best sound!!!
CRAZY-Q :D
Indeed! :)
I love my STE it's enhanced to to max now what a great machine. and yes I have 3 Amigas and I still prefer my STE. Great machines all of them
I agree, both machines are icons of the era and something that's missing from today's computing world. You now need another two STe's to balance our your room! :D
@@AtariCrypt Seems that one STE keeps perfect balance allright.... ;)
I like it it's a great idea.

Что это за трек? Кто исполнители? Что то знакомое, не могу только вспомнить.
Great, tack guys! :D
Totally agree :D
Like that :D
Great isn't it :-) check the link above, there are many more released at both parties
Such a pitty music is in mono. It's a great soundtrack.
