WELCOME TO ORIC ATMOS  Login : Password : Forgotten password PUBLISHER : PROGRAMMERS AUTHORS : G. Phillips, J. Hibbins, C. Groeneveld,F. Woodcock TYPE : Demo RELEASE DATE : 1984 PLATFORM :     CATEGORY : Others SECOND CATEGORY : Demo ORIGIN :   NOTES : Bird drawn by Carolyn Groeneveld, music arrangements by J. Hibbins. No transfer errors Instructions are on the inlay. This was THE demo provided with every new Oric Atmos. Side B holds the ALC program (Automatic Level Control), described on the inlay. I suppose it corrects the loading routines, preventing the computer to detect errors before the program actually started loading (bug corrected in later Atmos ROMs). To be verified, I'm only guessing... Note: See CEO-Mag 179 (March 2005): different versions of the demo could exist.

SEIS23:03 09-March-2007 I think I was one of the very few oric atmos owner in Spain. It was a present from my dad. He didn’t like spectrum and he didn’t want me to waste time playing games considering home computers as a educational tool. I remember I was so happy the very first day. I spent hours mesmerized watching this demo. I remember bird animation as the most impressive one. VAL19:01 06-January-2005 Oh dear...I remember impressing my mates and the rest of the family with that...."Hey come over this is fabulous, you gotta see this". I must have watched it loads of time, when I was bored of playing.. It looks to me like the bird inpired whoever did the animation for Doggy! LOTHLIN10:03 07-March-2004 Quite a good demo for the time - everyone who saw it remembers the bird animation. It did the job well - demonstrating the sound and graphics capabilities of the Oric. Nothing like as good as todays demo's and the included game is not very good, but how many of today's demo's include a game? :-) _Dbug_ 3 4 3 3 jede 3 3 2 3 Lothlin 3 4 3 3 pooss75 4 5 2 4 Rob Cook 4 4 4 4 seis 5 5 5 5 ddddadddd 5 4 5 5 centillion30 5 4 4 4 phil_vr 5 5 5 5 nigelr0 5 4 5 5 laurentd75 4 5 4 4 ScubaDave 5 5 4 5 pascal42 0 0 0 0 acid_head 5 5 3 5 AVERAGE 4 4.07 3.5 3.92 You must log in (Login box at the top of the page) Hosted By oric.org server www.oric.org V 2.6 CNIL ID : 872370 Write to Webmaster © 2000-2024 Built in 0.25 Seconds
