Those of us that have not been present at last Sommarhack party might have missed Ggn's new Friday night show.ย
But you can still enjoy it online 2 Fridays later!
In the video a number of Atari games are presented that were actually written by Atari demosceners, great idea! The video has been recorded on real hardware (Mega ST, Mega STE and Falcon) and features slides with additional information on the games. Be prepared for some surprises!

Sadly Sommarhack 2025 didn't have a 142 hour window in the schedule to show all of them!
And mega demo main menus - as a hybrid of a game and demo - are an impressive cultural artifact in the hindsight.
Then there were even demos as kind of direct application/showcase for getting a contract in the gaming industry, like Scavengers music disk that was sent to Thalion or (if I remember correctly) the big 2 part Extacy demo by ICE.
