- demo Atari ST TFMX by ST Connexion
- TFMX was an Amiga Format. This is the only Atari ST player that played a tune in that format. If I recall correctly, the full version to play any TFMX track was never released because Marlon got a contract to write the Soundtracker used in the HMS Soundtracker.

- demo Atari ST Thunderdome - The Demo by Checkpoint [web]
- I played a small role in this one :-) Thanks LSL/DefJam! Nice to see great new Atari ST demos, given that the Atari ST came out in 1985!

- demo Atari STe We Were @ by Oxygene [web]
- A very cool demo, mixing the use of the blitter and overscan. One of the rare STe demos that push the hardware the way we used to push the ST!

- Some technical Info about the main menu / slide displayer (which I wrote)
As far as I know, this is the first screen on an Atari ST that contains a Spectrum 512 image (with 3375 colours, taking 63% of the cycles), and a 16Khz soundtracker (taking about 30% of the cycles). This code was also used in Defjam/Checkpoint's wonderful Thunderdome demo.
That left no time for the usual Atari ST mouse interrupts. To make the mouse work, I wrote a 125 byte 6301 driver to decode the mouse X/Y position. This fit into the 128 byte ram of the 6301, and meant that I could read the X/Y position directly from the 6301 saving many cycles. It's also why emulators struggled to run it: they had to be upgraded to emulate the 6301 chip! - rulezadded on the 2016-01-06 03:02:23
