About
Impulse is a semi-retired demo crew from the west coast of Sweden, focused on creating demos and games for the Atari platform. Here is everything you never wanted to know.
History of Impulse
Impulse was founded by Johan (JEZ) and Reine (Longshot) in 1991, during the golden age of demo programming when the Vertical Blank Interrupt was worshiped as a modern Demeter. Any explanations behind the name of the crew are lost in the mists of Scandinavia.
The crew was soon expanded with more members. During the years we did some heavy assembly coding, groovy graphics, weird demos and strange games. Not to mention the fierce fencing duels, lethal football tournaments and awkward video recording sessions. But most of all, we did have fun.
We also attended a lot of computer conventions where we met funny people, fought in the competitions and attacked our surroundings with bicycle pumps. As you do.
Impulse arranged two conventions, aptly named Gurgelkvack and Motorola Inside. The latter was arranged in cooperation with scene legends NoCrew.
The last official Atari release of Impulse was the game Corsair in 1997.
About this site
The Impulse site was created by Reine in 1994, being one of the very first demo-related web sites on the web.
