TMR Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 And please tell me he or she has never won anything..... Not that i'm aware of and the BITS name isn't exactly respected in the general demo scene either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Hardly a surprise although sometimes judges can be er 'quirky' with their choices. I'm still stunned he or she is asking for cash, ok you can still download it for free but the content hardly screams stunning coding as it stands, they are like the mad offerings of an insane dyslexic coder.. (No offence meant to dyslexic people) Edited July 4, 2012 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hardly a surprise although sometimes judges can be er 'quirky' with their choices. Yeah, but thankfully not that quirky to date! He might've won something if it was a smaller party and everything else was party-coded or a fake release and he's a Jack of all trades as regards platforms so that's a lot of range for places to release... it might happen at some point. I'm still stunned he or she is asking for cash, ok you can still download it for free but the content hardly screams stunning coding as it stands, they are like the mad offerings of an insane dyslexic coder.. Well it's not much different to having a Paypal "begging bowl" on the site like some demo crews do for viewers to show their appreciation as such (i've got a couple of those but they've yet to make me a single penny - nobody loves me! [sob!]) but i agree it's taking things a lot further asking people to add specific demos to a shopping basket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Begging bowls I don't mind, if you like the coders then why not slip them a few whatever's if you want to. Many coders deserve something back for the time and excellence they use for our pleasure, people like Avery, Toni Wilen, Sheddy and many on here inc yourself put so much effort into their items it seems a shame that they don't get something back.

Chug Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I thought I'd resurrect this old thread. The "Robot" demo is the reason I bought an Atari 800XL. During the 80's I was a member of a local computer club. At the time I owned an Oric-1, but I was looking to upgrade. The club membership was evenly split between Atari and C64 owners, and the robot demo clinched it for me. That and the C64's disk drive was as slow as continental drift.

Gury Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Atari 8-bit unrelated, but... I have to remind all computer geeks from 90' to watch Second reality demo, finally done for 6502 processor, included in Commander X16 system. This demo is still considered one of the best ever done, it would be interesting to see what (and how) of it could be done for our system. Easy to say, I know, but who knows. I will dig deeper in original source code when I get more time. Existing versions are: IBM PC compatible, Commodore 64, Atari ST, Apple 2...
