The Atari ST demoscene played a crucial role in the 1990s, pushing the boundaries of what was possible on 16/32 bits computers and shaping the evolution of digital art, coding techniques, and underground computing culture. This video will take you back to the golden age of pixel-perfect animations and mind-blowing code tricks on 16/32 bits computers. Disclaimer : For experts : I used a SC 1224 monitor in this video that may not match with the Falcon. I just did not find any SC1435 3d model. 📼 What You'll Discover: ✅ The origins of Eko from the ST and their first productions on Atari Falcon ✅ How we pushed the Atari Falcon hardware beyond its limits ✅ Iconic demos that Eko made and the impact they had on the Atari scene ✅ Articles from European press related to Eko or the ST demoscene ✅ Behind-the-scenes stories from legendary members and how they met 00:00 : Intro 00:10 : How did everything begin? 00:50 : Last Mad vision demo 01:17 : How we spent time in 1992? 01:36 : The Atari Messe and the Falcon 02:18 : How did we get our Falcon? 04:10 : June 1992 : The "cool demo" 04:27 : August 1993 The place to be and the "Eko demo" 05:17 : December 1993 : The intermedia/sanom party and the "Papa was a bladerunner" 06:00 : December 1993 : How to code #1 06:14 : April 1994 : How to code #2 06:23 : June 1994 : How "Mars DSP" was released in anticipation 06:47 : August 1994 : The place to be again and the "Ekosystem" demo 07:53 : Abstract and Eko 08:12 : Moonspeeder 09:00 : October 1994 : The Siliconvention 09:38 : December 1994 : The "Epidemic" music disk 10:05 : December 1994 : The "Atari Show" in Paris 10:30 : April 1995 : How to code #3 10:38 : April 1995 : The Fried bits in germany and the "Ekosystem" demo 11:55 : August 1995 : The "Geranium" demo 11:55 : April 1996 : The "Entracte" demo 12:34 : February 1997 : The Eko meeting 12:42 : H20 14:46 : Eko secret demo 15:19 : The game "Gift", philippe ulrich, team 17 and Cryo 15:38 : December 2021 : Sfmx Magazine 4 : Eko edition.
