 *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!
