• The logo part is cool, rest of the visuals is a bit too close to TV noise for me. The music and visuals from 3:00 to 3:30 are nice though - back to the 90ies!

• 8k demo Atari VCS ISO by JAC! [web] & Jakub Husak
• >Atari 2600? Isnt that the crappy console?
  C'mon - a wooden box with 128 bytes of RAM is not crappy - At least is was not in 1977 :-) I've created a label and am planning to create some real carts with this so people can put it into the real thing or shelve it. So if you are interested, just drop me a mail. Maybe we can get some discount from AtariAge then.
  
  
  
  
  @cTirx: Thanks!

  ... don't use AUDCx=4 and AUDFx=0 for silence. This creates an annoying high-frequency beep around 15 kHz in both MESS and Stella.

  
  
  Perfectly right, fixed in V1.1 and all linked downloads (bin/src/video) now. Check the end of the ROM to see which version you have.
  
  I was baffled when I found out here that I cannot hear anything beyond 14 KHz anymore. 39 years - too old or just too many demo loud parties? I can only hope that Jukub does not complain that I ruined the roughness of his tune now :-)

  An 8k demo for the Atari 2600.
  
  Code and graphics by JAC!, sound by Jakub Husak.
  
  This is my second Atari 2600 demo and it was a tough journey. Anybody who thinks retro coding is simple should give this machine a try.
  
  I wanted to create a demo which is different from existing "typical VCS" demos which tend to use full screen effects at low resolutions without transitions but with HMOVE artifacts on the left side of the screen. I wanted to establish the classical logo/playfield/credits screen layout from the good old days of the cracktros and Amiga intros. Ironically, on VCS this is much harder than full screen effects :-) I wanted to create smooth effects which appear to be in multicolor hires resolution on a machine with 21 bits of screen RAM and 8+8+1+1+1 movable pixels. I also wanted as many effects as possible in 8k with a fast pace and proper transitions. The complete lack of interrupts makes the last one especially hard and expensive in terms of RAM and ROM usage.
  
  I'm fucking proud of the result and I hope you like it a bit, too. See the .nfo for the technical details of the effects
  
  - ISO Logo
  - Floating and Falling Text Tiles
  - Ribbon
  - Plasma
  - Twist
  - Twirl
  - Scroll
  
  
  Thanks to:
  - Grey/MSB for organizing Sillyventure and being so crazy as to start a VCS demo compo
  ... and for stretching the deadline
  - Jakub Husak for the great tune
  ... and the player additions .. and keeping the deadline ... eventually :-)
  - d-wilson for finding the article on "Why 2:16 minutes" again
  ... though the demo now takes 3:31 in the end. I had too many effecs :-)
  
  Greetings and respect to:
  Noice (cool ideas), Trilobit (cool stories), Tjoppen (cool execution) and all people at Sillyventure - one day I'll be there, too.
  
  The download contains the 8k ROM together with Stella32/64 ready to run. Here's also a video but I recommend emulator or the real machine with Harmony card. it simply looks best there to due the low resolution and high FPS.

• Pretty naming. I wonder how many entries there were at Sillyventure VCS compo. Also people seem to have "similar ideas" when it comes to "What the f... could be done at all on this inferior .... platform" so we established a real competition. Cool.
