  • Tell me, mcappp, did Technicolor Dream use APAC mode? Some of the pictures made by people using that program were sooo awesome!

  • Yes, Technicolor Dream use APAC mode, but in 80x96x256 res.

  • Wow - thank u for posting it. I never knew that Atari could do more than just showing 1 color out of 256 per scanline via special Display List Interrupt codings. Your demo is showing new colored ball popping up 1 by 1 out of 256 colors in an overlapping trick mode. That's an incredible graphics capability inside of an Atari 8-bit computer. Quite a computer graphics technology back in the 1980s.

  • This demo is called QLKEE and is building in APAC mode 64x50x256. Yes it's impresive, one of the few demos that use APAC mode.

  • aaaahhh...and I forget...perhaps 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...its late im tired and im not native

  • Cool and easy...only plot the new circles...change the colors in a row and it looks like everything is in the move...aaaaahhh what wonderful times with C64 and Atari...now we have fast PCs or Apple machines but without soul...

  • @mstepansky Actually, the atari 8-bit could normally do 5 colors at once.

  • @1337Shockwav3 what did you expect?

  • @CUR50R what sound? I think you have something going on in your head.

  • It's good! It looks cool! Great vid!*!

  • @cosine303 Why haven`t you bought floppy disk drive? What about turbo tape?

  • Great colors, bad sound... :P nevertheless its FINE!

  • Reminds me of a couple of Sega arcade games from the 80's that manipulated ball sprites in a similar way.

  • Problem...

    I see more than 9 colors, and I see shading.

    Has to be a HIP mode.
