The webmaster of Megatari has recently archived two rare demos. mOa brings you so a megademo by Fanatics, and a preview of another megademo by Iron Dogs.
The first one is very a strange production since the authors claimed to rip all the code! Not sure it was fully ripped, most of the screens aren't original but a few of them are good. Maybe Rebel MC, the main coder of the band, will give more details as soon as possible. At least the gfx are good enough to make this megademo a nice production.
The second demo is just a screen from a megademo probably never finished by an unknown band. Anyway thanks to mOa for imaging both disks and uploading them. It's a nice gift for Xmas, of course!
Just one click to download the Totally Ripped Megademo and the Iron Dogs Megademo preview.

Back in 1993: Psygnosis wanted to release a game entitled Indigo. It was nearly completed, but Psygnosis decided finally not to publish the game. While 12 years, Indigo stayed also at Stephane Belin's home (who is also the author of Outzone by Lankhor)...
Today in 2005: Stephane has finished with the help of Bertrand Jardel the Amiga port of the game. Since the ST was already completed, he decides to publish both freely!
Indio is a pure plateform game, with nice graphics, cool music and good gameplay. It's a little bit hard, but it's a good game! It's a shame Psygnosis didn't release it in 1993...
So here we are: the game may be downloaded here. You can also leave a comment on the same page.
Also don't forget to take a look at the author page and thank him on the forum ;-)

Enjoy this great Mega Demo!! It's a real pleasure to see such a megademo, which gathers old and new coders, graphists and musicians. That's the perfect example of the ST spirit!
Of course, feel free to discuss about it on the forum.
This game is good, very good for a few hours. Then, after completing all the circuits twice, you'll quickly lose interest... but it's still worth a try.

Read the review of BadlandsIn the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
