okay,let's start...
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
"GRAVEYARD BLUES 2"
TOPAZ BEERLINE
----------------------------------------
the second part of the rhythmic bones
are here!!
this demo is for sure a very good one!
let's hope that more blues will
follow!!
----------------------------------------
intro:a nice hires 'topaz' logo on top
of the screen. under this is a 2x1
sideborder scroller and completely
down is a moving "rhythmic bones"
singlecolour logo.
----------------------------------------
part1:a very cool "topaz" logo flashes
onto the screen after some time it
flash away. now presents flashes
and disappears again.
next thing is a big "grave yard
blues" logo with a '2' flashing on
it. also this vanishes and a big
scroll comes for a short time.
that's all for the part.
style is ruling!
----------------------------------------
part2:a strange bu cool logo is on the
screen with a cool tune. then a
multicolour dypp scroll appears
with different sinuses'n effects!
some effects: twisting,stretching!
all this happens above a water
reflection.
----------------------------------------
part3:a swinging bitmap logo with a 2x2
scroll above it. on top of the
screen are lots of bobs moving in
a very cool sinus with 6 sprites
over it.
old but nice tune by jch/vibrants!
----------------------------------------
part4:a very nice topaz fli-picture with
under it a 2x1 scroll.
on the bottom is a socalled $d011
split,but you are fooled!
with space you will toggle between
the pages which flash away!
the music is really cool!
----------------------------------------
part5:two rasterlines with a strange
four-coloured effect!
a fast 1x1 scroll gives you some
text and credits!!
in the right-downborder is a very
nice topaz logo.
----------------------------------------
part6:the screen flashes and a nice
hires topaz-logo appears.
some sprites give you the credits.
the maineffect is a pre-calculated
3d rotating bobscroller. under
this scroller is a small scroll
with the same text,so you won't
miss any of the text!
an old but nice drax-tune is here
for some noice!!
----------------------------------------
part7:a great topaz logo isat the bottom
of the screen. a 1x1 scroll above
it tell you some bla bla!
completely up is the great effect
and it is a "rubber vector"...
it looks like you are making a
vanilla ice-cream...
it's not centered,but who gives a
fucking damn!!
the music is again cool!
----------------------------------------
part8:a very nice "the end" logo is down
on the screen under two raster
lines.
between these lines comes a very
large 2x2 upscroller with several
cool effects!
it stretches,mirrors and whatever
else is possible in lots of cool
ways!!
you can toggle between the effects
with commodore and stop the scroll
with spacebar!!
the tune is very nice!

this demo is for sure one of the best
of these months...
some of the graphics were really cool,
while some very a bit hmmm.
this group belongs,in my opinion,in
the top 10 of the demogroups as they
really proof their abilities!!
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
"ONE YEAR CAMELOT 3"
CAMELOT
----------------------------------------
you might wonder why this,second price
winning års demo,is called "1YC 3".
well,as they explain in one of the
scrolls...
"as previous winners of parties in
denmark were "THE LARCH 3" and
"BRUTAL 3" we decided to call it
"1YC 3"..."
it didn't help as they were second,but
this demo is also one of the best
released recently!!
----------------------------------------
intro:some text flashes onto the screen,
a cool picture gets pixelled,
vanishes,more text,vanishes...
now lots of 3d moving starplots
are on the entire screen. this
really looks like it is also done
on amiga and gives a very 3d view.
in the middle of the screen some
text is being pixelled to give
credits and other bla bla!
the tune was taken from the "last
ninja 3" intro.
----------------------------------------
part1:this part contains a whole screen
5x7 dypp. the colours at the side
look really ugly and should not
have been used,in my opinion!
the tune is really cool!
----------------------------------------
part2:a big 5x5 scroller goes under a
text screen. the text vanishes and
now 8 sprites move over lots of
moving char-rasters in various
sinuses and speeds...
and old but nice jeroen tel tune
is playing...
----------------------------------------
part3:a small "camelot" logos swing in
the upper and downer border.
on top of the screen is a 1x1
scroll with bla bla.
on the rest of the screen is a
128 plots realtime 3d starball,
moving and bouncing.
the music is strange but cool!
----------------------------------------
part4:6 vector lines with each its own
colour move over eachother.
they call it 'fli-lines' but it is
all made with sprites!!
underneath goes a big,ugly,scroll
with coloursplits.
the tune is old but nice.
----------------------------------------
part5:a strange "party" logo is down on
the screen. a 1x1 scroll is on top
of the screen and between this is
a completely realtime tv-vector.
you can control it with a joy!
real cool music by duck larock!
----------------------------------------
part6:a cool logo (from the intropicy)
on top of the screen.
under this are 184 realtime bobs
following a cool sinus.
completely down is a textline
flasher with a fantastic charset!
the tune is also really nice.
----------------------------------------
part7:a coll camelot logo on top of the
screen with 8,infact only 7,real
rastersplits behind it,and a 14
sprite-multiplexer on top of it.
in the underborder are several
arrows with 8 camelot sprites over
them and under them an unexpanded
singlecolourscroll of 40 chars
wide. the logo changes colour and
some rasters move.
great tune by jch...
----------------------------------------
part8:15 2x1 dycps which go really ugly
(no ora and just storing different
screens over eachother!).
every dycp-sinus can be put in 3
ways: no slow or fast sinus.
the tune is nice though!
----------------------------------------
part9:"the end".
a big expanded side+downborder
scroller. on the rest of the
screen are 192 vertical 'amiga'
rasters,with lots of cool sinuses.
the maximum amount of colours is
three. a cool tune is playing!

----------------------------------------
a little note:sometimes after loading a
part the screen freaks out,due to
reseting the screen before loading.
it had no influence on the demomarks,
but it looks a bit hmmm...
as you can see,the overall is 8.5
while LIGHT got 8.4 from me.
but as scooby of light drew some of
the best graphics in this demo,i think
it's pretty fair that light won the
democompetition...

----------------------------------------
"BUDS DEMO"
CREST
----------------------------------------
this is yet the latest demo from the
one-man-gang,as he calls himself!
the two parts of this demo were
seperate from eachother so you had to
load them by yourself.
----------------------------------------
glober:before it starts,you can select
1 of the 3 musics which can be in
this part with the cursor keys.
with space you will activate the
part which contains a pretty ugly
sunset with a 1x1 scroll.
on top of the screen is a cool
effect: a realtime rotating earth
vector!! it looks really like
earth and each country looks like
it originaly is!
the tunes are strange,but nice
and tune 2 is my favourite one!
space will bring you back to the
screen you had before running
the part!
----------------------------------------
yugowaria:a broken flag of yugoslavia
with underneath it the name of
the current republic,with the
capital,mainlanguage,religion
and population given in the
sideborder. the republics
change by itself. a nice tune
is playing.
after space you will get into
a special 'croatia 1990-1992'
screen....
this is a bit hard to explain
so just see it for yourself!
after that has finished you
will return to the screen you
had before running this part.

this demo was sertainly not ment to be
a demonstration of coding abilities...
it was mostly made to show you some
special things and STYLE was most
important for this demo.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
and that were all for this part...
please load the last one for the final
demo reviews of this issue...
