comment:
--------
this is a co-op demo from a small
meeting. the parts made by noice are
better than triad's parts. some of the
music is ok but some of the tunes by
amadeus aren't really up to today's
music standards. the graphics are just
average except from a cool head drawn
by rocket in the dypp-part. the code
is ok too but most routs have been
made by several other groups some time
ago. the only really original part is
"brainmess" by swoffa.

this is a new demo from a group that
haven't got a very good reputation at
all here in sweden but in fact this
demo is really nice.
the music is ok but nothing special.
perhaps they should try to use more
tunes from their own composers instead
of ripping old tunes. that would give
a better impression i think.
most of the graphics in the demo looks
nice but there's nothing very special.
there's some 3 color graphics in some
parts that looks a bit dated.
the c128 part included an effect that
haven't been made before but it's easy
to make and this part is not very
interesting for all the c64 owners to
watch.
the other 3 parts features some rather
cool code and the last part has got an
original idea too (changing between 2
fli-logos with a dycp routine).
all in all an enjoyable demo..

(this review was written for the last
issue but there were no room for it
so we publish it now instead. we know
that this demo is old by now but there
haven't been very many demos released
lately as two parties will take place
in the beginning of july.)

another demo in bonzai's usual style.
the music is cool and has got an ori-
ginal style troughout the whole demo.
some parts include some cool coding
aswell even if none of the ideas in
the demo are very original. also note
that their zoomroutine in the intro
which only zooms one character at the
time is much much easier to code than
a real zoomroutine which is able to
zoom several characters.
the quality of the graphics and the
design varies a lot in the different
parts but none of the graphics are
below average.
