It seems Chmiel was M. Mielniczuk but I don't know his first name and I don't have

that was a boy from Gdynia city (Poland) that made one small zine for Atari or something like that. I bet his 1st name is "Marcin"

any idea who Grass could be.

Grass was a member of  MASTER OF ELECRIC CITY for a moment... They released his slideshow on Atari (to tell the truth it contains his very, very old gfx-es). Afterwards Grass moved to PC and music (electro/ambient) scene. :)
His real name is: Daniel Nowak, besides GRASS nickname, he is known now as 'Haloon'.  :)

Happy New Year to you, too!! :D

witam !
moze znacie odpowiedzi na kilka pytan :-)

oto one:

> Is this Polish? Is this just a translation of an existing game?
czy to polska gra?  Czy to po prostu tlumaczenie istniejacej gry?

> 2. Czart
> I read this was an adventure game by LK Fire-Bird, do you more? I have never seen it anywhere...
czytalem, ze to byla gra przygodowa z FIREBIRD, czy wiesz wiecej?  Nie
widzialem jej nigdzie wiecej...

jest plotka, jakoby ludzie z SONIX SOFT wydawali megademo w
1992-93 r... Niestety, nie pamietam jego nazwy i wydaje mi sie, ze to
bylo anulowane... Czy cokolwiek z niego bylo w ogole zrobione?

> 4. Atrax
> Did Atrax release cartridges only? How many compilations are there?
czy ATRAX wydaje tylko cartrdige?  Jak duzo jego kompilacji istnieje?

> 5. Unreleased games by Mirage Siftware, LK Avalon...
niewydane gry z Mirage, Avalonu

czy masz szczegoly o niewydanych grach przez tych duzych
komercyjnych wydawcow z Polski ?

slyszalem o takich grach jak Acid Runner, Tamer... ale znalazlem
je tylko w wersjach na C64. Czy wiesz wiecej?

Hmm,
well, currently I own 512k XRAM (576k RAM total). but believe me, the ABBUC demos all work ok on 320k compyshop (CS) expanded Ataris. I do have a Compyshop compatible Megaram 2 RAM upgrade with 256k XRAM and since this was not enough for me and many polsih demos did not work with it, I extended it to 512k...

Before upgrading to 512k, all ABBUC demos were tested on the 320k CS machine and they worked fine (be sure to switch off BASIC, otherwise garbage appears here and there - hold down OPTION!). One more thing, looks like the emulator is not emulating RAM upgrades well. Rambo and CS are not the same actually. All demos work on the original machine with a CS upgrade but they do not work on an original machine with Rambo upgrade !! Looks like this is different on the emulator...

CS ramdisks have block 26AE (each with 4 banks, total = 16 banks), original Rambo upgrades by ICD did have blocks ACE (each with 4 banks, total = 12 banks). Meaning the CS *added* 256k to the existing 64k, so you got a 320k machine. Not so with the Rambo, it *replaced* the 64k base RAM with 256k, but since 64k are still required as base RAM you merely have 64k base RAM plus 192k extended RAM (total = 256k RAM). In other words: CS is the same as Megaram 1-3, all have a total of 320k RAM, whereas Rambo is the same as Buchholz and Newell, they have only a total of 256k RAM...

Well, now for the emulator: it sets CS as a 320k machine which is correct, but it also sets Rambo as a 320k machine which is not fully correct (it should say TOMS or Atari Magazine here to avoid confusion with original Ataris and original RAM upgrades). Just take a look at my Ramdisk info article (or overview) which should make some things clearer or even more confusing. Finally, only two demos exist that really require 1 Megabyte extended memory: a) the raytracing demo by ABBUC member solocoder of Ace (a stupid raytracing demo that comes on 8 bootdisks) and b) the BRULL sample demo that was released a short time ago...

Well, I've also understood you wrong...

Hm, I've checked Star Wars demo also in 512 KB/Compy Shop compatible mode (I have a switch), and it worked ok. I've also seen Trabant demo earlier, and it worked on my old 320 KB Rambo expansion.

Maybe someone should check it on other systems/mem expansions?

A tak się ma -1 do upływu dni i wieczną młodość.  :mrgreen:

BUHUUUUUU! And I`ve got only 64 KB of RAM in my Atari :((( I think I`m gonna cry! :<<< Man... I really have to get at least a 130XE or something :]

BTW you`ve got a one cool site down there my dear man :>>>

Poszukuje nazwy tej gry:

Jest to coś ala S-F RPGo Strzelanka. Chodziło się po żółtych komnatach i zbierało sie jakies przedmioty. Gracz miał do dyspozycji tylko celownik [takie FPP]. Mógł nim strzelac i zbierać przedmioty [pamietam ze w jednyum pomieszzceniu był stolik z jakimś wazonem któryu można było zabrać]. Co pewnien czas można było spotkac jakiegoś stwora [latający lizard czy inny killer-robot] którego unieszkodliwialismy gun'em
Ps. Ogólnie pod względem designu była zblizona do AD2044.

Ktoś pamięta tą grę?
