A few Atari releases from GERP 2026

Over the past weekend, the GERP 2026 party took place.

While GERP is traditionally an Amiga party, the "other platform" category is growing strong.

This year we saw Five Finger Punch doing their first bit of work for the Atari 800. A tiny intro entierly made during the party if we're correctly informed.

Then Django the Bastard, known for his truecolour rotozoom demo from last summer, strikes back with a challenge; The Knobhead Cup 2026. It's about rotozooming and it's showing off a new technique with a huge rotozoom using a 64 colours texture.

Finally SMFX and DHS brought an invitation intro for Sommarhack 2026 that presents this years special compo; 33 second demo. And as it so happened, the intro won the GERP 2026 other platform demo.

I am surely not the right person to judge the rotozoom challenge but this new effort looks so cute! And that invitro! What a treat! Amiga freaks should burn their lousy computer and move on with 8Mhz, where the true force lies! :)

It looks awesome, well played... well played.
