It sure does! Here is a 100% machine code demo disk
with a difference in that you can actually take part in one or two of
the programs, including a fantastic drum machine program which allows
you to record drum sequences of literally thousands of beats and replay
them! The disk starts out with a couple of music and graphics demos to
amaze you called SLOT MACHINE. Nothing to do with slot machines, just
great GTIA graphics. Next is an excellent tune by The Outsider that
stretches the sound potential of the machine to its limits. A
kaleidoscope follows which can play for hours on end and where the
patterns can be frozen from the keyboard. JANES PROGRAM allows you to
drop blocks and bounce them about, impressive but really written for
children, this one is also on an earlier disk. Now comes RYTHMISER which
is fantastic if you fancy yourself as Phil Collins. A full set of drums
and percussion is available from the keyboard and you can play any
sequence you like for almost as long as you like and then have it played
back to you at different speeds. You can save tracks and reload them or
try out the built in demo which will show just how good the program can
be. Quite unique this one and a whole lot of fun. If you like music you
will be bowled over by THE ROTBERG SYNTHESISER which was quite famous a
few years back and intended for commercial release but never quite made
it. This is a demo version with five tunes and BOLERO in particular is
brilliant. You tell us if you have ever heard better music on your
Atari! The disk finishes up with a demo put out by Atari in the US to
show what the Atari computers can do and may be Interesting to new
users. Old hands will already know how good this old Atari is.
