3D Doc demo from the Carebears Cuddly Demos.

3D Doc demo screen from the Carebears Cuddly Demos. Gotta love the old school Atari ST scene.

Who gave it one? Must have been an Amiga fanboy!

@zeusgb Or else someone who is impartial. Atari computers were always just slightly less capable than Commodore computers. For example the Atari 800 (1979) had less capable sound than the SID (1982) and fewer hardware sprites

.

Likewise the Atari ST had inferior sound to Amiga's Paula, and lacked multitasking, and lacked the 4100 color mode for artists. ST was good machine but why buy that when you have a better computer to choose from?

@harleykman

The simple answer to that is the Atari ST was a lot cheaper than the Amiga.

@buggstermoo The Yamaha sound chip used in the ST was used in the Spectrum!! I personnally fall into the Atari fan base myself. I liked the ST Demos; all those custom chips in the Amiga surely made it easier to get the Amiga to dance!! To see the ST doing something similar; can't help but take my hats off to the coders that made it happen.

it ticklesme that the "Amiga Vs Atari" battle still wages on.......I personally Would fall into the Amiga Fan base but I still liked the Atari machines. However if you put all the power of the ST into a box and then stick in a sound chip that sounds like its been ripped from a Spectrum then you are going to end up with poor sounds.

There is no debate.

Go find this demo played on Amiga.

End. of.

@soupisgoodfooood The ST had sucky sound (inferior to Commodore 64's SID), but graphically it was almost as good as Amiga. One drawback was the lack of multitasking and no 4100-color porn mode

.

Ooops I meant HAM mode

Awesome demo. The 68000 was a formidable cpu, whether its in an Amiga, Atari, Mac, or one of the various Unix boxes that used it. And thats just the computers. The mighty Sega Genesis and some of the arcades also made great use of the 68000.

What Amiga fans will not tell you is that the ST was around 12% faster than the Amiga, so it was faster at pure math, and so faster at things like Z depth sorting, 3D etc. So the ST versions of 3D games always ran smoother.

But the Amiga with it's blitter and different graphics modes made it much better for 2D games and demos. Sadly the STE was not really supported enough to compete, so although the STE was more a match for the Amiga, it was too late already upon release.

Best ST demo screen ever.

Ah, the golden days, where everyone was trying to milk identical hardware for maximum effect...

my sweet, the C64 couldnt do most of the things you see in these demos but i am impressed with those C64 demos. they arouse me slightly
