twh/f2 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Howdy *.*! After a long time the probably biggest demo archive "Poeut.Net" supports Atari XL/XE. At least, there is now an atari xl/xe-entry on the platform-list available. This means for us: let's submit some of the best demos with screenshots, comments, download links etc. Then, the demoscene beyond 8-bit atari will perhaps notice that there is still some acitivity (eg. Numen/TQA) which is at least interesting enough to be emulated on a trusty pc... So my call to you: let's create download-space and submit as much titles as you can!! http://www.pouet.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Are there enough Demos and Musix, to put there? Ok. Numen is in Graphics unbeatable by any ohter 8-Bit Homecomputers. In the SAP Archive I found about 20 Songs (from more than 1600), that are worth for Demo-Scene Level. Most Songs are silly made(beep...beep...chrang). Even the Game Musix by Rob Hubbard. Shame on them. As an ATARI-Freak you don't have to see, how good a XL-Song sounds, but you have to recognize how a neutral Listener and viewer reacts.... Most Demos on XL/XE are converted/ripped Pictures reduced to 4 colors and ripped musix too. Please remember: It is not only a fault of the "old" Hardware of the ATARIS, the software gives it the rest .... Animated Demographics could have been done in mixed modes with up to 64 colors without big CPU Time, even could have been the sounding standard in a Level between C64 and AMIGA without big CPU-Usage too. I would say: Let's make a list of Demos, Musix etc. of REALLY good XL/XE Stuff for pouet.net before putting them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twh/f2 Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 I would say: Let's make a list of Demos, Musix etc. of REALLY good XL/XE Stuff for pouet.net before putting them.... yes this is a good idea: here is my list, I want to see on pouet: *Numen *Drunk Chessboard *Bitter Reality *Cool Emotion *Das Omen *Ergo Bibamus *Endless Dream *Igor *Isolation *Joyride *Overmind *Pacem in Terris *Ray of Hope *Rotten Juice *Sheol *Slideshit *Sweet Illusions *The Asskicker's *Timeless Announcement *Timekeeper *Total Daze *Top 3 Demo *Trip 6 *Voice of Silence (1,2,3) *Vengeance *Vent *Visdom Demo *X-Demo What we have to do ist to make various screenshot's and find a place for a stable downloading from poeut. At of course, comment it our self :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 As I could see, You did put some Demos on pouet. If I only had some free webspace... I'm still hoping, that ABBUC will reserve some place to set sources to share... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
