Stormtrooper of Death Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hi, I am Richard Vermeulen from the Netherlands, also known as DCW!, The Wizard or Stormtrooper of Death. In 1990 I made the Megaview demo. It is a scrolling screen demo, but I wanted the people to discover the hidden trick / easter egg. using your joystick. (afterwards it was a stupid idea, to think that everybody would try this) So, for all your Atarians. run this demo and use the joystick to scroll and read all the messages.. including the C65-1 story. Yep. its 33 years too late, but better late than never. Sorry for my mistake while programming, when I was 19. Here is the youtube video link for this demo. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) What mistake? Using the joystick, mashing keyboard and console keys are the right of passage for any demo viewing Atarian!

The 1050 Turbo did it with software but still needed hardware to install the EPROM with the software. 2 hours ago, ggn said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
