• I have to update my comment.
  
  Now, the two main atari emulators (Steem and Saint) are able to run the Phaleon Demo, and are also STE compatible, so the demo can be watched in emulation (it's one the 4th disk).

• intro Windows Dbug's oldskool by Defence Force [web]
• Jd: I put "intro" because it's a single effect screen. Concerning the "OldSkool" concept, you should know that this prod was made as an entry in a irc #codefr fast compo. And in "fast compo", there is the word "fast". The objective was not to code something for an oldskool pc, but something that taste a little bit like olsdkool things.
  
  And please, do not tell me I don't know I'm talking about, I've been coding this kind of demo on the Atari ST around 1989.
  
  for ... => I know what a size limit is, I actually manage to won a size compo on my Oric machine at the STNICCC 2000 party. Concerning the fastly done, I simply use some boring module, fmod, and all is done in 32 bits graphix because I didn't had time to learn coding x86 code and other advanced code trickery.
  
  Looks like you prefer people that do nothing, than people that actually try to code something. Perhaps that fast coding compo is not a part of demo scene after all. People have to learn something, somewhere, no ?

• demo Oric Barbitoric by Defence Force [web]
• You should also check all the demos that appear in the category "alternative party (2003)", not only "alternative party 4 (2003)", because due to some mixup here and there the demo entries are spread in two different party entries :'(
  
  Viznut's VIC20 demo that arrived #1 is in the right category (Alternative Party), while our Oric demo and some other like the Hwr2 are in the wrong one (Alternative Party 4).
  
  Try the other please, some are nice !

• Hum, it was the other way around :)
  
  Sorry... damned myself...

• demo Windows hwr2 by kosmoplovci [web]
• I will not put a "sucks" symbol, because I believe that there are a lot of very bad demos. That one was simply looonnnngggg to watch during the party place.
  
  Anyway, for Chaos that wrote "best alt party release so far", you should know that there are some mistakes in pouet.net registrations... some entries were put in "Alternative Party (2003)" and some were put in "Alternative Party 4 (2003)".
  
  I hope that someone will be able to correct all these mistakes.
  
  For information, the #1 place demo is Viznut's VIC20 demo, and is in "Alternative 4 (2003)" party entry, while our own #2 place Oric demo is in "Alternative (2003)" party entry.
  
  What a mess.

• demo Oric Barbitoric by Defence Force [web]
• raver: it has a AY soundchip (same than on MSX, Amstrad, Spectrum+ or Atari ST).
  
  Concerning emulators, well, I finally updated the "barbitoric.zip" file, so it now includes a pre-configurated windows version of Euphoric, just a batch file to launch to run the demo.
  
  Concerning the love/hate factor about emulators, since there is no way to make advanced screen trickery on the oric (no VSync, no sprites, no color changes, no split screen, hardscroll or overscan...), the emulator is pretty accurate compared to real thing.
  
  The main differences are due to the fact that a 70hz VGA screen give a different result than a 50hz blurry TV :)

• Optimus: If you want to learn more about video mode limitation, you should check the page I wrote on the AltParty wiki:
  http://www.altparty.org/~altwiki/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?action=Browse&id=_Oric_
  
  I guess it will answer most of your questions.
  
  A 6502 based ZX Spectrum is not necessarily the most powerful machine in the world ;)

• demo Oric Barbitoric by Defence Force [web]
• Since some people asked me (on IRC) where they could find the emulators, here is a link:
  
  http://oric.free.fr/emulator.html
  
  Simply unzip the "Euphoric099.zip" somewhere on your harddrive, put the "barbitoric.dsk" file in the "disks" folder you will find in the emulator directory, and to make things easier (no need to deal with emulator functionalities), create a small batch file in the euphoric main directory (where "euphoric.exe" can be found) that contains the following command:
  
  euphoric.exe -d disks\barbitoric.dsk
  
  Now simply run that batch file to run the demo. To quit the emulator use F10.

• Well, this is an ORIC demo, it means you need an ORIC emulator to watch it. For Windows there is EUPHORIC, and there is also a Linux version of that emulator.
  An important thing to know is that since Euphoric is a DOS emulator, it will have trouble under Windows 2000 to get the sound. Installing VDMS will do it !
