I was able to get in touch with the people at xanth back in the day. They obliged by sending me the shiny bubbles demo in reply to my letter to the CEO of xanth in Seattle.

The point is that the Atari 8 bit and the Amiga have the same roots. Its not about loyalty to a large technology company but rather respect for good design. The C64 and Atari ST are very commercially orientated (Jack Tramiel at his best) and designed by the same team. The Atari 8 bit and Amiga are Jay Miner machines, machines born out of good design. Commodore and Atari basically swapped design teams in the eighties.
I suppose it is not surprising, considering the Amiga's chipset was designed originally for Atari with the intent to make a 16-bit follow-up to the Atari 800. Literally, the Amiga and Atari 400/800 platforms are FAR more closely related than most people realize.
Yeah. The original was the famous red-and-white blocked ball bouncing to show the "power" of the Amiga. People were amazed by that demo. Then some clever guy came up with this on the Atari 8-bit machine (hardware designed in 1978 !!!) and it shows the power of the machine. Atari 8-bit rules ! ;)

Good quality!, but when done 16 bit machine Atari comes crapy against Commodore Amiga. Jaja.

the idea is nice, I do not know, if it is original or not, but like the rasterbars in the object.

At the time, nobody knew that programming this on an Atari was possible, so it was rather amazing.
