ATARI ST RESERVOIR GODS DEMO

I remember amiga fanboys saying that some screens like the one with the green balls could not be reproduced from an ST ..........well this is STE and the screen is almost identical! however without sampled music or mod...but thats how ST sounds.... it's funny but this kind of sound is very popular today as it is based to analogue circuitry instead of samples....back then was considered as primitive...

Nice demo - but I have to respond to the Amiga fan boy comment. "Could not be reproduced by from an ST" - well, that's probably still correct (although I've learned to never say never). The STE was a LOT different from an ST in that you had 4096 colours and a blitter chip - two things the Amiga already had and one of the main reasons why Amiga fanboys said this. I highly doubt they made the remark about the STE. Just saying.

@sydbolton many STs had blitters and the STE could display on screen 16 colours like the ST (Amiga was 32 on 320x200 i think)even though you could choose them from a bigger pallette(4096 instead of 512) the only thing that ST was really in lack of was the circuitry for the hardware scrolling and the sound chip(YM 2149)....anyway around 1991 i had plugged in my JUNO 106 on my ST along with cubase ....at that time amiga fanboys were playing with....noisetrackers..:P ...Atari Forever!!

Awesome demo. But Atari ST soundchip isn't analogue, there's no samples, but it's still digital. The only anaogue soundchip, I think, was C64's SID...

@ZXRulezzz

i mean it uses oscilators like analog synths

Wow, it's almost 2012, and the Amiga - ST flamewar is still alive and kicking? Lmao.

@buzzboxed The Amiga also had 64-colour (Extra Half-Brite) and 4096-colour (HAM) modes.

@sydbolton This demo runs the same on a standard ST or STFM too :P
