 type: mega demo
 the loader bugs sometimes

 intro:
 the intro screen is designed to look
 like the action reply menu screen.
 you can watch some screens with
 credits and greetings and there's also
 an option to watch some nationalistic
 austria-animations.

 no review points given to this intro
 (difficult to review)..

 part 1:
 this part features a moving picture of
 a monitor, with some movng graphics
 inside. once in a while, a scrolling
 flashing cd-field appears in the
 monitor.

 part 2:
 this part features 2 areas with the
 same techteching eci fli "splits"
 (plasma fields) on different places on
 the screen. the plasma looks a bit
 strange, as the colourtables are ugly
 and the techtech is a bit strange too
 (not changing the position value each
 rasterline?). the part also features a
 afli text upscroller with a water
 effect below.

 --------------------------------------
 type: mega demo
 the loader works sometimes

 part 1 - "impossible" vector:
 this part features some animations of
 some kind of rotating stuff + some
 sprites with text over it + a tune
 with sampls added to it. this part is
 called an impossible vector,
 but actually it has nothing to do with
 vector graphics. the "object" that
 they have rotated was painted, not
 calculated - and the simple calcu-
 lations needed to rotate this thing
 could be used to rotate any kind of
 graphics (a logo or whatever).

 with some multicolour nuts chars that
 are rotating,zooming and stretching in
 a crewl manner.
 there's also a logo noving into the

 part 2 - fridge:
 this is a graphics part. a guy comes
 in jumping and clapping his hands to
 the music by danko. after a while he
 stops, and a refrigerator comes down
 from the sky, kills the guy. one of
 his ex-hands opens the ref., and out
 jumps a cola can. "u can't beat the
 feeling" !!
 really nice graphics.

 part 3 - 400 dycps:
 this part features a logo, and 400
 on/off-switchable dycp's on a very
 small area. in my opinion, this kind
 of routines is very lame and ugly, and
 the ugly group that succeeded in doing
 this kind of part is megastyle with
 their best demo ever,unlimited dycps.

 part 4 - side eff.:
 this part features a rotating stretch
 multicolor scroll in the sideborder,
 over a logo. at the bottom where the
 scroll stretches, the logo has only
 got one colour but above that it's a
 hires logo.
