X-MAS 1989 by ACE St. Louis Midi SIG - Atari ST Demo - The 25ish Days of Christmas - Day [06/25]


ACE St. Louis Midi SIG released another Christmas slide show in 1989, very similar to the one from 1987!  This was their third year in a row to release a Christmas demo!

That is right, I said third year.  Unfortunately the second year, the one from 1988, is presently missing.  I spent some time searching for this release, but had no luck.  Best I could find is that it was included in the BRE Software PD catalog, which might be the best hope of finding it.  So far, there are not too many BRE disks floating around online yet.

As for the demo itself, I think the image choices from the first demo (1987) were better, and the cat definitely seems familiar, presented in a different picture, but the cat looks like the same one from Antic's demo!  Music is decent, all still composed with Music studio.

This video was captured on October 20, 2019.

The demo was played on an Atari 1040 STf, TOS 1.4, 1MB, equipped with a CosmosEX from Jookie.
A Best Electronics ST Monitor to VGA cable was used, connected to an OSSC 1.6 (processing the video in Line4x mode), with the output being captured by a Startech USB3HDCAP.

Video was edited with Shotcut.
