@gunstick yes I know what they are, I have also downloaded some demos from these parties, or watched some videos on youtube. But I am not in the demo scene, not enough time to do anything good. If you want to do some #atari8 programming try out coding using DLIs to increase the colour range beyond the offical graphic mode limits. You can achieve quite a lot and many demos use that technique. For add-ons the #side3 and #fujinet

Our Atari XL/XE demo “ReRZóGeD”, shown at Silly Venture 2025 Winter Edition, is now online.

We’re happy to share that it managed to take 1st place — huge thanks to everyone who watched and supported it!

From July 31st to August 3rd, the 25th Silly Venture took place! I cranked out a few 256-byte intros for the Atari XL/XE, and *life after life* ranked 7th in the 256b intro compo.

Polish engineer creates postage stamp-sized 1980s Atari computer

Hobby project shrinks 1980s computer platform that pierced the Iron Curtain.

Ars Technica

In 1988, the Polish company 'SZOK' developed a turbo interface for 8-bit Atari computers, allowing programs to be loaded from tape at 2600 bps using the same FSK modulation as in standard transmission.

It was a pleasure to work with RZoG, SoTe, X-Ray, P.W., Miker, and TLB on this project! Great time, guys - Thanks! :) Without you, this wouldn't have been possible! Amazing how time flies - 30 years in one frame! :D

Curious about what happens in memory while this demo runs? Check it out: https://youtu.be/8VQncahDG_w

Thanks to Marcin Skoczylas (Slajerek) and his visual debugger, we can see our algorithms at work... Great to witness after all these years!
