Grizaptimus Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 When I was quite a bit younger, There was this program that My dad would always run. All I remember about it was There was a Green or Tan room. with this white ball bouncing around to a tune. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I use to watch that one too. I got it on a PD demo disk from Antic's software catalog. I think it's just called bouncing ball or something. It was psuedo-3D with the ball sprite bouncing away and toward the screen off the walls like a 3D pong. It may be here, but I looked for it as 'bouncing ball' with no luck: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~sgl/atari/...index_php3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sounds like "Ballsong" http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~sgl/atari/files/demos014.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizaptimus Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well I found a couple of demos that fit the bill called "Ballsong 1 & 2. they are very similar to what I remember except I remember there being a full grid on all 5 of the visible surfaces.

Gunstar Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) Ballsong is the one I was thinking of...anyway a note on that demo site I linked; a lot of those disk images are made for HD's or SIO2PC or emulators (much too large for a floppy disk) and there are lots of demos on each one, so the only way to find individual demos is to check them all out, which is fun anyway. There are some VERY cool demos you'll come across. And don't let the titles fool you, some of the best have lame titles. I love the plasma and polygon demos the most, generally accompanied with good music. But a lot of the european demos from the 1990's and newer will blow your mind at what the 8-bit Atari is capable of. Some requires expanded memory though.
