Re: Amiga vs Atari ST and the Demoscene
thanks I enjoyed those. very cool. i was speaking to a Polish guy recently who said that they still have a very active demoscene over there. I was never involved with the scene directly, just enjoyed purchasing demo disks from public domain/shareware catalogues.
not sure if you remember any of the demoscene crews from the eighties but The Exceptions (TEX) from Germany and The Carebears (TCB) from Sweden were great crews who produced some fantastic demos.

apparently the demoscene derived from the crack intro's for games. do you remember the UK cracking crew called Automation? You used to mail a disk up them (to a PO Box number in Manchester) enclosed with a £1 and a SAE and they would send back that disk to you with several of the latest games titles.
