In the Whattheheck demo, there is the screen where you can control the
blue spheres. On the top of the screen, there are editable fields controling
x-axis speed, y-axis speed, etc. In the upper right hand corner, there is a
field called DEMO __. Guess what!! You use the arrow keys to get to that
field, and change it to see the other demos (there are 13, I think).
Heehee, don't be embarassed. I had this demo, saw the two you describe, then
threw it in my disk box and forgot about it. I then got another copy with a
small doc file, and sheepishly dug my old one out and saw the rest of them.
I have about 6 more of these full-disk type demos (the demo wars are on in
Europe, boy are we lucky!). Some of them are absolutely mind blowing. I
will MSA these guys and put them on atari.archive.
