Numen

Thax, no, it can't. I know the version you speak of, and I tested it with my real Atari 800 XL. Turns out, there's no music, and the effects are 'halved' - and that is, those that work. Most do not work.

So it's half-true; you can load -some- of the effects in this demo as single files, but they don't work fully or properly, because they STILL require more than 64 k (small k!) of memory.

However, it could possibly work with 130XE or something.

This would be an excellent demo, if it worked on an unhacked, unmutilated, beautiful, 8-bit stock Atari with 64 k of memory. So much can be done with such a computer, it's a shame these demos always require some unofficial, third-party soldering modifications that most people will never have.

For the record, I don't consider C64's "Prince of Persia" a Commodore 64-game either, for the same reason.

Numen has nice music, absolutely beautiful effects, a very boring '3D' bit between effects, and sadness that comes from the realization that I, like most people, will never see this on a real Atari computer.

Outstanding demo, it can be loaded on standard atari, but loads in parts. theres even better stuff on 8 bit now, credit to the programmers who squeeze every ounce out of these old yet reliable and amazing machines!

I had a 130xe that I had modded to 1meg of ram way back in 1989. It was a great ram disk for sure.

I think there actually WAS a 320XE with 320kb of RAM which was only released in a few countries (the USA not being one of them). I've run into a few other programs over the years that require 320kb and never knew what the hell to make of them...

I'm sorry, but i think that a demo must run on the real machine, without extension ... (64ko or 128ko).
I don't like the 3D effects, but the others are realy fantastics (the bump is ... waouw !!!)

Holy cow...that just blew my f%$%ing mind!

Pure ownage.
