Demo Playground

Due to popular demand (well, one of you asked me about it:) I'd like to give you the opportunity to see what's new, what's great and what's possible on the Atari 8-bit demo "scene". The following "Dentros" have been programmed by Heaven, who lives some 35 kilometers away from this place. Enjoy! (BTW: Heaven is a male coder, he is NOT female as some people thought).

Carpediem Dentro (Atari executable, 34 KBytes): Note: You may experience some problems while running this demo with other DOS'es than DOS 2.5. You can safely start it through the ABBUC-Magazine menue, though.

16k-dentro (Atari executable, 16 KBytes): Prepare yourself for a world premiere: Heaven presents a new graphics mode developed by HARD-Software from Hungary! See mindblazing graphics in nearly flicker-free 30 colors and 160x200 resolution!!! You haven't seen anything like this before on the 8-bit, have you? Here's a description of HIP and the demo. Also get the HIP-FAQ if you want to learn all about the HIP-mode.
