Hi Folks!

The idea came up to hold an
interesting scene compo when Axis
reengineered the data file format
of the famous Atari ST demo
"STNICCC 2000" by Oxygene.

Aim is to port that demo on as many
platforms as possible. The Atari 
8-bit version parses the original
Atari ST data file (640kb) and
renders the polyon stream as fast
as it can. The time counter shows
the actual time spent for complete
rendering and stops when it restarts
the flight.

More infos on the file format and the
data file itself is available at

The original version of the demo
was a cartridge-only release with
VBXE fixed at $d600. I have reworked
that version to include automatic
detection of the VBXE board and base
address ($d600 or $d700). The pack
contains the DOS compatible version
which support PORTB memory expansions
of 1 MB or more.
