u know what happend to the union ? he programmed ski simulators for geman rtl (buy that shit) and created the "NEED FOR SPEED" franchiose, yes the union made need for speed... but without mad max songs... he knew better.
I watched this demo many many times when I was a teen !!! So nice !!! I remember the starfield screen with the music from Dune by David Lynch I think, fantastic !!!
oooooooooooooooh my goooooooooooooooooooooooood i remember this demo on atari st i dont believe it always exist at this time. ultimate master piece of demo scene from gold age of 16bit computer. i have recorded it on audiok7 cartidge for listening it at any moment on my walkman. my first audio computed orgasm was the game captain blood with the jmjarre title Ethnicolor from Zoolook album.
Discovered this late but thanks for uploading. I was SO into the Atari ST's demo scene and it's good to see the old demos again. Was even in a crew or two myself (nothing notable though :)
I have to admit this demo is très good. I come from Amiga world and I must admit in 1989 nothing on Amiga beats it, even Kefrens Megademo 7 or Red Sector megademo don't reach it (no inconvex vector for instance). At that time, the only very very good one (both technicaly and artistically) on Amiga which could compet is 'Wild Copper Megalo Demos' from 1988. Stunning Atari demo for sure. Btw, in this demo what is the screen with the famous first overscan feature ?
I believe that this one was one of the first ST-demos I watched... had experienced C64 and Amiga demos before that... But I got this demo on disk from a friend after I got an 1040 STF from my father... :)
47:47 I remember the Atari ST had animatable colours. Inspried, I tried to make some images like this. IMHO they weren't bad, but I've since lost them. Probably on some diskette somewhere in a house I once lived...
What happened to the prototype soundtracker featured in the hidden screen ? I remember it fro, back in the days, and I always wished to have it, did it ever exist ? The quality of the mixing routines of this tracker was already excellent, with lound sounds, etc.. other tracked music from this area sounded quite noisy in comparison.
1:02:20 All time favourite copy program! But how many of you have actually used it? It sounds a lot better with the diskette chirping away next to it. ^^
I think this demo is a great example of why it didn't 'rulez'! Considering the horrific hardware limitations of the ST it is quite amazing how the members of The Union were able to overcome these issues. If you compare several of the demo screens in here to say a Red Sector demo from the exact same year, it is amazing how lazy Red Sector appears by comparison. The only area where they win out is fantastic four channel digital music; a luxury of the superior sound chip. But it wasn't long after The Union Demo was released that they figured out how to trick the ST sound chip into reproducing the same kind of four channel digital sound anyway, and even ported over some of the music from groups like Red Sector.
@@ZCT808 +1. But i think the comment was just a joke ;-) But I'm totally agree with you about the efforts made by the ST programmers to create the same quality without co-processors.
One of the greatest demo on the Atari ST, and my love for demoscene !
Awesome work! Thanks from Excalibur (The Replicants)

Thanks. Probably the best demo ever ^^

That was one of the greatest demo collections ... With fantastic great muzak!
Sill love to listen to that with speakers put on the max output 😂😂
LEGENDARY !! so much memories ....
29:02 Heavy Dune/Toto (1984) inspiration here lol. Great stuff!
Nice quality recordings! Great work! Though the sound is incorrect on the loading-screen text, not all emulators do that correctly.

What a great tune, amazing Jeroen !!! I luv it...

great version of the C64 Cybernoid loader music.

It was released as "The TCB Tracker". There was a demo on ST Format coverdisk (issue #16). Was the first sample-based soundtracker app I ever used!
@@davidwalker1652 Thanks, was there a final version of it or just the demo you mentioned?
1:02:20 All time favourite copy program! But how many of you have actually used it? It sounds a lot better with the diskette chirping away next to it. ^^
This guy .. was ages ago, but I remember the whole demo very fondly! It's probably one of the many that made me into the hacker I am today
I wonder if anyone has the 512k version of the beat dis screen with the chip tune and sprites. I’d love to see that again.
Pitty that too often the muzaxx is cut... Would prefer that each demo music could be heard entirely...
Vector TNT !
what about the main menu? wasnt there a beast/thing you could move with your cursor similar to the ulm megademo?
Ah I saw it
Didn't this one have a reset demo when you hit the reset button?
the less u have the more u make out of it this is why Atari has the better demos than Amiga
There is no way the Amiga could do this.
oh blimey don't say that or you'll have certain ST owners agreeing with you

if only it had a SID !
The AY matches the ST with charm. For SID, just go C=64.
Amiga rulez! ;)
