yo... this is axis

and another chapter of the skyhigh

in this issue you will find reviews
of the following demos:

ECAMA FLUORID / ORAGDO

CRYSTAL SHEEP / CHARGED

so let's start with the first review!

ecama fluorid:
--------------

intro: in the intro you see a 3d
------ starfield with multicolour plots,
a 1x1 scroll and an average logo.
the sound is nice.

1.part: in part one there is a normal
------- eci-tech-tech, like you perhaps
know from an old camelot demo,
the usual 1x1 scroll and a 3
coloured logo which looks a bit
like drawn in 1988.
the only special thing at this
part is the menu, in which you
can edit your own sinus-waves.
the sound is a bit weird.

2.part: the second part features some
------- very fast, but ugly looking
shadebobs and ofcoz the usual
1x1 scroll (great oxy-design).
this time the sound was really
nice choosen.

3.part: this part really surprised me.
------- it features some slow but real-
time calculated filled vectors.
a nice work done by wiz (cool).
the graphics seemed also getting
better. a really nice part and a
nice framemeter idea.
also a nice tune.

4.part: after those stunning vectors wiz
------- presented his multi-elastic-line
which is really fast (nearly as
fast as the one, done by graham)
again some nice gfx and a tune
done by the syndrom (great).

5.part: the next part featured a bob
------- routine, which is pretty fast,
but there is only one sinus wave
and another bad thing is the
bad design of this part(hehe).
the music is old but nice.
the gfx are not bad, too.

6.part: and again a part done by wiz.
------- he presents a fullscreen fli
plazma. i think i can say this
is the main effect in this part,
except of the music by syndrom.

7.part: another vector presentation of
------- wiz/orgado. this time 7 color
vector bobs. surely a hard code,
but again bad design. nice tune
and gfx.

creditz: code - wiz, penta, mad cat
-------- gfx - vangelis, redman, penta
sound - syndrom, o'neill, peace
gaston

comment: this demo really surprised me.
-------- the coding standart is far over
the average. the gfx are only
logos, but some of them were
nice. the most tunes were done
by the syndrom/tia/crest
(exclusively) and ofcoz nice.
i think wiz could become a
second tts in this scene.
i think each coding freak has
to get this demo for his
collection.

rankings: code - 8.2/10
--------- gfx - 5.5/10
sound - 7.6/10
design - 3.5/10
---------------
all - 6.2/10

----------------------------------------

crystal sheep / charged
-----------------------

intro: the guys of charged present an
------ intro with some interlace logo
movement, some movie flashers and
a nice logo. the sound is also
nice.

1.part: something like a 3 colour plasma
------- in the sideborder, no special
design but again nice gfx and
sound.

2.part: this part features all border
------- vertical bars. they seemed to
be made with 8 stretched sprites
there is music which is not so
nice. i think this is all
important for this part.

3.part: in this part sir presents
------- 1.some very slow vectors
2.256 sin-plots in 1 direction
3.so-called mora (sinus lines)

the logo has some really weird
colors, but the sound is nice.

4.part: again one of those boring 2048
------- plotterscrolls. the routine
looks a bit like my one in
coma light 8. the tune is
not bad, but again some weird
colours in the logo.

5.part: do you like bobs - we don't.
------- these bobs in part 5 are only
moved in one direction, but
they calculated some nice sinus
waves. the logo has got some
nice outlines, but the sound
is a little bit boring.

6.part: this part features a pseudo
------- line vector calculated with
sinus waves. they use 3 colours
and some shadow effects.
the logo is not so cool, but
cool sound.

7.part: now there follows a nice shade-
------- lines part, which looks like
the one from coma light 9.
7 colours are used and normal
lores. the design of this part
is nice and there are some nice
painted trees.

8.part: this is the end part of this
------- demo. it has got a stunning fast
bob metamorphosis. this effect
looks pretty cool. the sound
and gfx are ok.

loader: the loader is a nice irq-loading
------- system. they used some really
cool gfx done by cronos in it.
the ideas in the loader are nice
except of one which features
something like a swastika
(hakenkreuz).

creditz: code - sir art, jackal
-------- gfx - cronos, stone
sound - compod

comment: this demo from charged is a
-------- nice designed demo, which got
a not too bad code and some
cool gfx by cronos. the sounds
are also cool. i think you
have to get this one for your
collection. it's no super demo
like e.g. wonderland x , but
it's nice...

rankings: code - 5.9/10
--------- gfx - 6.6/10
sound - 5.8/10
design - 6.9/10
---------------
all - 6.3/10

----------------------------------------

so that were all my reviews for this
issue. i hope you have enjoyed this
chapter, but now press fire to read one
of the other chapters...

axis is off...
