Here is a youtube video of an Atari ST/STE megademo. Its called The Brainstorm megademo and was released under the alias Eagle of Friendchip. It was mainly made in STOS Basic. This was my second attempt to code a megademo in my early teens before I was taking my first steps in 68000 assembly. I released it 1991-09-01 at age 17.

I'm aware of a slightly corrupt floppy image of this demo on the internet, there the STE Stars screen doesnt start, so I made this video from a new floppy image that just made from my very original floppy disk. It still requires joystick configuration and very specific Atari Tos versions to start, so I dont think many people has seen these demo screens at all...



It also contained a High resolution screen, shown in this video. That demo screen is very difficult to start in Hatari emulator due to compatibility problems. The sound is terrible in this one... *sorry*



Brainstorm Megademo screens:

• Intro, Asm, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

• Menu, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

• Loader, Asm, Twilight, (520 ST)

• STE Stars, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (1040 STE)

• Swing It, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (1040 STE)

• Demoshow / LED-scroll, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (1040 STE)

• Bluescroll, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

• Bigscroll / Raster, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (1040 ST)

• JAFOO, STOS, Jafoo of Friendchip (520 ST)

• Disk Copy screen, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

• High resolution Demo, STOS, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

• Reset screen, Asm, Eagle of Friendchip (520 ST)

Guest screens: (only Twilight guest screen in this video)

• Twilight guest screen, Asm, Twilight, (520 ST)

• Ouch guest screen, STOS, Pirate, (520 ST)

• Igor guest screen, STOS, Igor, (520 ST)

• Doc Dee acid guest screen, STOS, Doc Dee, (520 ST)

Its hard to replicate any smooth scrolling on an emulator with different screen update rate but you get the point... Enjoy! :-)

Looks like you have stuff to do here then! :D

Great work, thanks for rescuing this part of history!

There is some good music on the Brainstorm megademo.

All peripherals nicely lined up on top of my Atari STE: SidecarT, Greaseweazle, BlueScsi, Gotek, UltraSatan...
