Hello Everybody!
I created this website to recall the golden years of demo coding on Atari ST computers.
In early 1990s I was pretty active on the Polish demoscene as a coder, a music composer and founder of The Supervisors group (TSV).
Some of my productions were included in the famous Budgie UK Licenceware collection.
I sold my first Atari 520STFM in 1993 or 1994 and I have lost most of my files,
source codes and tunes. Luckily some of them survived and were brought back to life at first on my PC (thanks to great Atari ST
emulators), and then on my second real Atari 520STFM (purchased in 2006).
Thanks to all people running such websites as Atarimania, Demozoo or
Atari Legend where I could find some of my productions
that had been missing for many years.
Best regards! Ralph Rudzki -

Atari ST reloaded on a PC/Windows:
I would like to recommend you two software emulators of Atari ST for PC/Windows:
These emulators are very accurate - they are able to run and properly display almost all of the famous megademos, including those using
the tricky plasma, overscan and sync-scrolling techniques.
