Demo Boogie Nights by lamers

Recommended Posts

Very nice, loved the twisty scrolls, best I've seen.

 

The only thing with the music was that it sounded like someone was constantly firing a nail gun in the room :)

 

Nice demo tho, can't wait to see it on the real machine..

The Atari seems not fully lost.

Very nice presentation and usage of colours and resolutions.

wasn't so keen on unshaped (not so keen on that style of music really) - but the other 2 were pretty damn awesome

And me of Boogie Factor (C64) - in a good way. Really innovative ideas and fluent presentation. I like the hires parts - well and all others. Never though 4x players would be good background GFX. Thumbs up for Lamers!, the group with the most unsuitable name.

 

>That was my msx

I had discuessed this with Nils and we decided that the music is so good, it deserves two good releases :-)

Love the demo JAC!

 

Plasma clouds, brilliant..

 

The FX were stunning and new (to me)

 

But to all, when can we have the real files to see, youtube is ok but stuff like this needs to be seen in the flesh..

Yeah, the msx is great and never mind. of course you can use it but I heard it 100x while developing the intro so I was little bit suprised when I have listened few seconds of your intro. ;)

 

I personally don't like the 4x Players with gfx in the background as it definitly looks so 70s 2600 but maybe that was the intension. but I love using 4x PMs for small texts/gfx on top of screens like the dancing queen in the demo. ;)

Are these real Atari 8-bit demo's, or just contructed to "look" like it is? I've been seeing alot of these video demo's but never a real working piece of software?

It would be easy to create these in some other environment and make them just look "old".

Really, what would be the RAM requirements to run this game on an Atari 800/800XL?

 

What would impress me is a working game within 64k on an 800XL, or 48k on an 800.

 

Don't get me wrong they are colorful, and imaginative.

I assure you they are real - I saw them inperson running on real machine - in Boogie Nights I'm personally involved even have source code ;)

First, it's demo not game, so there's no interaction. Second - now 1MB became a standard equipment - like Candle's Ultimate.

And there are plenty. Just about Boogie Nights: every single part of that demo (I know that transitions are fluent) is running within 64KB of basic memory. Demo needs 192KB to run - extended memory is used as a kind of storage from where incoming parts are retrieved and decompressed. They could be also read from disk, but transition would have to be much longer... And there could be problem with music.

 

Demo is just meant to push pedal to the metal.

Music continues to play but the video stays on that last screen

 

The demo is fabulous!

Boogie nights remembers me on one of the farbrausch pc demos...

 

That's what I thought, too. Particular the disco lights, had the right flair.
