1992 version...

Apparently I implemented an auto-folder floppy slideshow app for PCS files and forgot about it. Here it is. You can pack your PCS files with PackICE v2.4 to get more images on the floppy, and it supports TN1 and PC1 formats too.

(unknown date)

Early overscan implementation with some interlaced images specifically converted to overscan resolution, and a single palette switch per scanline. Quality much lower than PCS but this demo predates it.
