- The results are finally in, the votes have been tabulated and
- we have a winner for the STE demo contest!!
-
- Our objective was to provide our dealers (and STE owners) with lots of
- demo programs to bring out the capabilities of the hardware.
- Lots of colors, hardware scrolling, DMA sound, would be just the ticket
- for the uninitiated as well as the 'older' generation Atarian.
-
- Now for the winners: Third place was a prize of a Lynx game
- system but since there was a tie for second place, the Lynx wasn't
- given out. Instead, both second place winners receive a MegaSTE 4/50
- system with color monitor. The grand prize is a TT030 8/50 with a
- color monitor.
-
- From Norway came the ProTracker demo from Karl Anders Oygard. This
- was a graphical sound player for the music writing program Protracker.
- Also tied for second was Brien King and Cory Chapman of Arizona, who
- showed us a display of the STE's power with a sight and sound arcade
- demonstration.
-
- After many entries one demonstration showed the most potential to
- satisfy our main objective. Arvin Castillo and Noel Saw of California
- came up with a demo fully showing the STE's hardware features in a
- walk through fashion providing an eyecatching and informative
- presentation to a potential buyer.
-
- The competition was very tough between the entrants and we'd like to
- thank everyone for their participation!
