We all remember those absolutely crazy videos posted by DML some years ago, the Falcon was rendering Quake 2 and even Half life levels in a way that made many jaws drop.

After some wait the binaries are here for us to enjoy, and all those who doubted can see that it was for real all along. We get binaries for plain 16 MHz 030 as well as the DFB1 030/50 accelerator.

Together with DMLs recent SVO 30 release, it's starting to feel like the early 90's again when the Falcon seemed to be invincible, thanks Doug for these incredible masterclass showcases!

5o5 thanks!

Sorry it took so incredibly long to release a proper demo for download. Had a lot of real-life problems at that time and after a very long period away from it, forgot how it all worked :/

I remember that this came just before the STNICCC 25th anniversary demo.

I was expecting something like the Quake 2 levels, but was blown away by the unexpected thing Doug did instead.

It does look impressive. Tried on Hatari and can't believe how nicely you can move through the levels. Amazing work, wish my Falcon would still work now.

Please don't apologize as you bring us wonders way beyond what could possibly be done! Even though I don't own any ATARI computer anymore I am amazed to see what can be done.
