• demo Atari XL/XE numen by Taquart
• I don't really get the point of all the discussion about ram usage, but ok . here we go. i just compiled and bundled every single effect used in the numen demo including the vector game engine which you can run on every 8bit Atari XL/XE. download link here:

  Like I said. Not a single effect needs an upgraded Atari by itself. I even think that it wouldn't be a big deal to create a 64KB version which however must interrupt music and loads the next part from disk. if one is interested he could do this his own using the freely available numen sources at http://numen.scene.pl/ .

• @oswald:
  
  Spreading lies about Atari XL/XE sucks too! I'm also getting tired of that discussion about RAM expansions on the 8bit atari, esp. when c64 folks come into this discussion. the 8bit atari was designed for highest flexibility on RAM expansion right from the beginning in the late 70s. this is no hack and/or some kind of illegal way of "pimp my machine". every single NUMEN effect could be realized with a plain 64KB machine. but the demo makers preferred to load first all the code into memory and let it running without interruptions and waiting times for disk I/O.
  
  to use your words:
  I'd be interested to know how much of this demo a C64 could do, and how much an 64KB 8bit Atari could do, when it only would have the ability to load from disk while the music is playing and let the floppy cpu calculate in parallel.

• demo Windows Winnerdemo by Metalvotze [web] & apocalypse inc [web]
• lame effects but great soundtrack. why do have germans always to excuse for their language??? especially on a german demo party ?? what is so strange about the fact, that a german entry ruled the compo when it does directly address the audience??
  
  i like this one, even if I think that Metalvotze usually suxx :)

• I don't know what you guys are complaining because of the music! I like this catchy tune a lot... makes me feel HAPPY :)
  
  unfortunately i had to leave on sunday too early, so I could not vote. It's for me the #1 demo at the Outline!!! True Atari spirit and great design.
  
  I hope I can meet you guys once in Finnland!!! Would be cool, I will organize the german beer, deal? :-)

• slideshow Atari XL/XE Dupland Slideshow by Mad Team [web]
• this is a spin off from the interactive story called "Droga do Duplandu" (A road to Assland). http://madteam.atari8.info/gry/dupland.zip
  
  Techincally this production has a VERY nice intro with some sophisticated sprite routines, interlaced Antic E gfx and a charming music made by String.
  
  The slideshow screen itself isn't that impressive. But who cares? This is just another XL/XE platform release, which I personally enjoy very much. Thumbs up Mad Team!!! grtx, \twh::taos

• hopper, we don't compete to the C64 scene at all. So we don't care if anyone is laughing. also we believe that programing 6502 is great fun for us. Thats the basic reason why we like to spend our spare time on this great platform.
  
  Hopper, you are very welcome to help us creating "demoshocks to the demoscene" I count on you :)
