part 2:
this part features 2 areas with the
same techteching eci fli "splits"
(plasma fields) on different places on

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).

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.
