Ah, that time of the year. That special time where Christmas trees are lit to shed candlelight onto our Atari keyboards, eggnog helps us through the fiercest debug sessions and the clicking sound of our disk drive is oh so jingly.

And amongst ย all this, Hemoroids wrapped us a very special gift this year: Square!

Yes, you read right, notย Square V2 (well, it is on that disk somewhere, too, if rumors are true) but Square. The one. The one. Seen only by a chosen few (well, the whole of STNICCC 2015 compo audience, actually, but let's not digress). Subject to a lot of controversy and legends and awe.

Such a nice present, go get it!

Ah, didn't pay attention to the fact that it was the first SQUARE preview that was featured here! Guess it should crash as planned then. :)

I can confirm, that the stuff on the disk is only running party from the menu (unless this is some internal joke?). Square preview doesn't run at all, Square V2 crashes after the "We are Hemoroids" screen (tried from both harddisk and floppy disk on a Mega STE)? The Square V2 demo in the separate folder works.

Anyway, nice menu screen and amazing mulitpart menu music!

Quoting 505:
Square preview doesn't run at all

Maybe you're running TOS 2.0x? Square apparently only likes TOS 1.x, as did the original Square V2 release. At least here, Square only works when switching my MSTE to TOS 1.62 (for example, IIRC 1.06 does work, too) - it's a party version after all, so having to jump through some hoops can be expected.

Ah yes, that explains, it's TOS 2.06 here. The version in the separate squarev2 folder seems to work on my machine while Squarev1 seems to require TOS 1.06 indeed. Thanks!

A lovely demo - the second version is really superb. I love the music and graphics as well. Great Xmas present, thank you :)

Seems that the embedded video has gone private, no idea why but I found another YT link showing both versions + the hidden screen. Check it out!
