The Passion compilation

Maybe you remember the French Atari demo group Passion? They were active on Atari ST as well as on Falcon with their early "Arrival" demo.ย  Cooper/Paradize has now recorded and published a comprehensive video compilation of their Atari releases in high quality. As I understand, they feature the full length scrolltexts, so 3 hours well-spent I would say!

Passion were very good friends of ours, Megabusters.
I have a surprise for you with the names on the photographs! Enjoy!

PS: And I know the secret of the nickname of the graphist of Passion, FDGRT. He just put down the hands on the keyboard and it wrote FDGRT :)

Pandafox: cool!! Thanks for sharing, Love this kind of background stories. And always amazing to actually see faces behind well known (from credits in demos) sceners like Mick/DNT Crew or Patapom.
Also, there is another Tronic, it seems! :)
This sort of asks for a deep article diving deep into the history of Megabusters or other french crews. The French early Atari scene always was a bit nebulous for foreigners.
Contributions are welcome.

I met Patapom a couple of times, he used to be a funny crazy hairy coder! I think he was one of these geniuses you will hardly meet in a lifetime. He left the Atari scene way too early...

    Tried it on 060 at 75 Mhz and 20 Mhz bus. I got as far as the start of the particle Raven screen.

    It freezes at startup: the buildings scroll then stop while the music plays normally.
