using two graphic maps ? And interchanging what is displayed ? was a good trick in former times...between two raster runs you could change which map shall be showed...so you had "two" images on one screen without a flicker flacker....sorry for my english...aaahh C64 / Atari ...today we have fast PCs and Apples but WITHOUT SOUL...We really got everything out of HomeComputers.Today the coding is sometimes horrible. Ahhh..good times :D
It's amazing how much power has been squeezed out of the 8 bit computers nowadays with techniques used from more recent computers. This is why I am still an avid Atari lover.

3D on 800XL? Wow! Well I could count the number of polygons using only one hand, but still. Very Impressive.

Amazing demo, uses those low res hi colour modes of XL/XE and great music too. I have to get an 130xe from ebay these days. :)
