Network 03 Demo review
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
*Demo review.. --------------- And again, we were sailing through the waves and the look-out saw a ship, which sailed the same way. Raising the battle-sails and using our slaves' power, we came closer and closer. The buccaneers were ready for boarding and so Croon (Mc Cannonball) was the first who shocked the spanish soldiers... Blasting some of them away, the rest from the pirates-ship entered the treasure-ship. The spanish fleet didn't have enough power and courage to stand the extremly hard men to men fight and finally they showed the white-flag. Throwing their captain over board and torturing some soldiers, we got the secret goods of this ship. Croon still torturing a fat soldier, we used to open one of the chests and we found pure gold in it. The second of three chests was filled with valuable stones and a new mixture for producing quality rum. We opened the third chest and we found the... Starion demo called OKSEN --------------------------- in it and back on our island we'll now take a closer look on what is up to see.... ^ About Oksen from Starion... ---------------------------- *The intro showed up with an xyz- rotating starfield and a sprite textroutine with some nice animations *The first part started with a big multicolor-scroller. Later it turned to be a border-flexer through the sideborder. A nice automatic or manual animated porno-sequence fits to the funny music.. *Part number two served as a kind of note-part, because we saw a starfield using the sideborders and a nice single-pixel-text-routine, using two proportional charsets.. *Very nice to see was the third action of this demo. Interlaced Comic-Strips scrolling over the screen. Also a nice scroller fits the action... Negative-aspect: The text in the balloon was unreadable and the interpretation from Starion didn't harmonize with the supposed sentence in the comic... *Part 4 shocked with two 2x2 turning dycp. Very nice to see was a vector pyramide, but it bored after some time, because I suppose it to be precalculated. [Ed.: It was not coded by Walt/Starion...]. The dycp using one color each... *The fifth one started with a single pixle-graphic-build-up on a multi- colored Starion-logo. Furthermore it build up to a filled Starion-logo with 'Cult of Cum' on it... The part turned out as a second note- file, as there was again some text displayed, but as usual, it was not everything. As you can press the keys 'AOUCH' for a short digi and space to leave it... *Number six or sex brought us the 1541 Fuck by Starion. Very good idea and we had fun in excecuting what we supposed to have to do. Moving the disc inside out,the drive-lamp burned and a simulated dick pushed in the showed drive. I think the action was arranged by requests on the photo- electric barrier of everyones drive. *Seventh part showed an 160 bobs Vectorball.... *Part 8 served as a turn the disc function. A single (three colored) upscroller and the sprite-peace-sign [Ed.: Remember the old Bonzai-times!] arraged a special amusement.. The upscroller was old (Told to be made on the Bonzai-party in Aars).. *A full screen Dypp was the only action to see in part number nine... *The 10th and last part showed a nice raytracing, featuring seven colors. Fully joycontrolled and a nice text- routine gave the real enjoyment... -------------------------------------- All in all, not very much graphical work, but you can see, that well designed demos musn't have a logo in every part. The musics by Metal and Scortia of Starion and Page of Side B always harmonized with the action and the design of the parts.. The code by Walt and Crush was quite good aswell, as they deleloped some crazy ideas and styled the parts very well. Not so much hard-coded parts, but the design and the build'em ups amused us very well... Total.........................87%/100% Comment: A very nice demo, which is ------:--for sure not made to be spread for two or less weeks. Not only the Floppy-fuck by Starion made us laugh and happy. Our Tip: Buy some new discs and save a ---------copy of this piece of design! -Flim Flam & PJD
