I really recommend everybody to use a real STE if possible because some of the screens don´t work with Emulators!
Thanks to everybody who has made this demo possible!
And a big thumb up for all the GuestScreens.

Do you find the three Hidden Screens?

Stay ATARI
very cool demo!
* Intro + Menu: cool, esp the spectrum + multi coloured sprites screen
* Saluts Atari STe (Atari Legend & MJJ Prod): just a simple screen.
* Tribute to Blitter and DMA (Paradize): hhmm, keep learning..
* Extravagance (No Extra): very nicely designed. but ste has a blitter. bigger vectors, please!! rotozoomer is also not up to today's standards
* Visual Unity (Paradize): cool, and stylish.. but again.. why the small vectors? and use dither patterns for raster backgrounds instead of interlacing.. cool use of wireframe allround, though. props!
* Mr. Fourtyseven (BiTS): *pukes* one of solo's worst imho
* Zero to Twenty: Sixty Seconds (KüA): cool, esp the ASCII spiral scroller. short and to the point. style!
* Tuttugandi (DHS): a treat from the masters of overscan. great stuff!
* Cubes Ribbons and 3D Flybys (Paradox): too slow and i hate the pillars, but some very nice ideas here (the greetings)
* Roxotro (RGCD): stylish (great gfx!), but i kinda missed the point here? it's a shooter inside the demo? anyway, the effects are -ooolllddd-
* Zickdisk 2.5 (Paradize & Elite): nice musics, minimal effects (4096 colours are where??)
* $14 (Excellence in Art): great music, nice use of vectors, but minimal as fuck.
* Direct Color Zoomer (Paradox): obviously very hi-tech
Hidden screens: cool for 1991.. but these days.. hmm.
* Reset screen (Paradox): cool gfx
overall: amazing amount of screens in this demo. a joy to watch! :D

Earx you forgot the "Ex-Reset"-Screen which looks awful in the video because it uses 60Hz. ;-)
ra: yeah, i did. i obviously cannot judge it.. ;)
Wow, it rocks, a huge enjoyment. Thanks guys.
I like it. There is a good number of nice and stylish screens (DHS, XiA, Paradise to name just a few), a few ones that show the history of STE demos very well (mainly hidden) and funny ones (KUA, Paradize).
I think it's a very nice compilation for a machine that never got the attention it deserved.

IK HAAT ATARI STE
I like the menu idea and lovely port of that amiga tune. There are some nice parts in this one. I missed three parts because they didn't worked on emulator. I will download video now.
I had a good time watching this.
A great way to kill an hour, thanks!
I'll have to wait to see this on a real machine, thumb up anyway, i'm going to try the emulator
Good.
Some good and some less good, but definitely a lot of content; and I did enjoy the 199x style screens very much :)
probably the most awaited demo of the decade. some really nice screens, among one shitro from BITS. virtual piggy for a guy who allowed this entry to celebrate 20 years of STe.
Is ok.
earx > sorry, this is the fastest vector code I can do :) and I need extra Timer B cpu for the cube color effect. I really wonder how some ST screens can do so big and fast vector >_<
I especially enjoyed the gfx and overall the demo is well designed. Congratulations!
Thanks and great works! I really enjoyed this demo. Cool main menu Ra!
epic production. really enjoyable to watch so many different styles in one.
Excellent prod except 1 or 2 screens ...
So much creativity delivered in a single package is overwhelming.
That's an active scene we got here, no question! :)
Congrats to all the contributors and respect to Paradox for organizing and putting it together.

The No Extra and Paradise parts is my favorites so far I think. Havent seen them all yet but I sure will! Massive megademo! Thanx to paradox for putting it together and making shit happen! :)
Great work from Paradox crew to make it possible !
There are a lot of screens for this year ! Only the Atari STE make it possible ;)

ATARI ! Cool !
Okay, since lots of the people that participated thumbed this, I guess I'll join in as well!
Not much to say really, I simply enjoyed all of the content, even those controversial (read: perceived by the majority of the people as substandard or not good) screens. There's simply lots of variation here, lots of traditional themes are explored/rehashed plus some with some tighter design and syncs etc.
In summation:
for the initiative by Paradox
for every person involved
for a jolly good year for the Atari ST/E in general. Great way to end it!
P.S. my personal favorites (for the time being) is the XiA and DHS screen :)

Put a massive smile on my face. Thanks guys!
Not picked a favourite screen yet.

Excellent!!! thanks guys.
Respect, would love to see something like this for an OCS-Amiga anniversary :)
Nice compilation.
Btw, some WIP gfx and stories about the screens can be found here. Happy reading :)
Very nice demo after watching it at home, congratulations !
ATARI
Nice one!
Heh. Not that I am a general ST fan, but this (rather lengthy) megademo had some really tough oldskool screens and effects. Kudos for those! Seems that STE was rather powerful beast when coded properly.
break: too late, it was over 2 years ago. ;)
very entertaining!
Great!
mr_spiv: You can find some other nice STe demos on the
=Atari%20STe&order=thumbup]prod list.
Check "More or Less Zero", or "Braindamage" for example. (you can also check mine "Save the Earth", but it's not a tech demo so you will probably not feel the "powerful beast" in it :D)

damn, bb code fail :(
How do you insert an url with [] in the path ? Some % something ?

MASSIVE.
Some average screens, lousy vectors and stuff. Expected alot more and coding wise rather than recycling old effects. Comparing this to nostalgig-o-demo....looks like this is Paradize demo with some quest screen rather than "20 years Atari STE" demo. Piggie.
Into every life, a little moredhel must fall...
lot of nice screens!
I've only wtched about 2/3 sofar and I'm damned impressed.
Paradox and DHS screens share the Number One spot!
Happy Birthday, STE!

great
abscess: That's why I said "AN anniversary", doesn't have to be the 20th :)
very nice!
Lots of nice screens, some better than others and some effects were lost in design but overall a good 1hr show that I really enjoyed. Too bad that coder's block stopped me from being a part!
My favourites were pdx, dhs and kua.

Actually I was trying to top Dbug's boring perforce logs by pasting a boring irc log.
I think you managed quite well, congratulation for your achievement :D
This thumb goes up for gwEm only, for his absolutely outstanding chipcover of stardust memories in the main menu. It must have been an incredible challenge to squeeze this song into and this wonder out of the YM2149. I would never have dared to try this even :)
Thumbs for the No Extra, DHS, Paradize and EIA screens. very Amigaaa-ish (hihi)... good ole 16bit times ;)
some cool prods, I especially like EIA's one... dunno why...
very nice ! Beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul !
Some very nice sccreens in there, although some could have been done on the STFM I feel. But that's OK, this is more of a community effort
Oops, thumbup, no pig from from
Nice !
Nice. 20 year old Mad Max tunes too
=)
:-D it roxxx!
40 mins of massive.
Like earx said. Very pleased to see such a global prod on STe after so many years. Many really amazing effetcs / screens. Lokre specially RoXotro =p
Nice work and good idea to release such kind of comemorative demo
for the jester cover by Gwem
It is le totally awesome :)
A bit of a mixed bag but very enjoyable.
Very entertaining. Love it :-)
Some great stuff, some crappy stuff... overall a neat demo!
time passes too quickly!!. ;).. awesome big prod!
Doesn't work with Mist... Garbage on screen, sound seems ok
This is huge. Various quality of contents, but overall very nice and fun!
OMG.
Pathetic lame shit by the lamest group ever - Paradox(Atari) !!
Don't mix those asshole up with the winners from Paradox(Amiga/Console) - Paradox(Atari) are just imitators with a damn low profile.

Loved it! Works with Hatari and a real STe. Thanks for making this! :)
