review: Now heres a novel idea: moving rasters! Ok, ok - Im a bit too
harsh here, perhaps, but this is ANOTHER intro from Exodus where I feel
hes just going through the motions, covering old ground. In addition to
the aforementioned background rasters, theres a single bitplane logo
with more raster color in it and a simple scroll across the nether
regions of the screen. So routine it hurts. glenn

Zoom Intro 1991, ECS Intro.

review: This intro receives its name because of its zooming scroller
across the middle of the screen. There is a Taipan logo on top, and two
bbs numbers at the bottom, both overlaid on spinning red chessboards.
This is a pretty ordinary intro, with nothing exceptional to recommend it
over others. Theres a million of these out there. Made by Timecircle for
Taipan. The release date is based on text in memory, no date is given in
the intro.
While the intro graphically worked fine under UAE, the sound was pretty
fucked up. The music is in SoundMon format, meaning its chip-based rather
than using samples, and UAE may have bigger problems emulating this than
simple samples? Sound and graphics were fine under Fellow. glenn

Talent is a demo group based in Norway, which were born at the Razor 1911
and Imp-666 Amiga Conference 09/91. Their first ever production was
Neverending Fantasies, released at this party.
Though they were originally all Norwegian, also minor foreign sections
were eventually granted membership. Brainbug is still working with his old
group-pals in Alcatraz Entertainment Software, doing sound for their games.
1994 - The entire English division - Narc gfx, Morf, Spud code,
Custodian code, Hampster and Tantalus - left in february. Some of them
joined Anthrox. Djengis Khans board TOWN OF TUNES was closed in february,
likely forever.

at this party.

logo on the background, waving left and right, and on top of this comes a
sinescroller. None of the graphics are very good, and the music isnt
really up to much either... glenn

Ive seen. The music initially sounds pretty catchy, but then fails to
develop and after a while it sounds like its just endlessly repeating
the same 30 second techno riff... A pretty average menu.

man responsible for compiling them. glenn

3LE is a swedish demo group, founded by two people one of which was Nude
in the early nineties. For a while they were just doing AMOS demos and
having fun, and it wasnt until most of the current members met at a local
party in Uddevalla in 1994 that things started to get serious. Their first
real demo was Yawpcola 95. They have since created a name for themselves
creating humorous demos, while retaining technical excellence.
Graphician Laz ex Sunshine Productions, new 06/96 got married, had
children and left the scene. Though it is mentioned nowhere, the demo The
Second Chance is dedicated to him, as Nude confessed in ROM9.
Ant is a doublemember of Spiderboyz on the C64. When Orchis joined, he
became world organizer.
Much to my joy, Coma has released the 20 first tunes in his chiptunes

review: When you run The Tribe from the supplied icon youre presented
with a nice little intuition GUI, allowing you to select various options.
This is a very nice idea, and one that Im quite surprised not more groups
have adopted! Anyway, youre given options to show some information, show
a small elk animation as usual : and select low/high resolution for the
demo. You make your selections and press start demo.
The first thing that comes across your screen, after a couple of
introductory logos, is a sort of 3D scene with elks dancing around a
totem pole! This looks way cool, and were soon on to a phong object with
shining parts, like in CNCDs Closer 12/95. Then were shown a
nearly fullscreen picture by Ant, showing the view out from the inside
of a cave. This then coincides nicely with the next effect, some bump
mapping thats made out to look like its showing a torchlight shining on
the cave walls, revealing the ancient drawings... Very nice! The last real
effect is a fullscreen face object in tones of blue which doesnt move,
but has the colors sort of floating across it. Its a lot like a similar
effect in Artworks The Gate 04/96, though that looked quite
superior. The demo then ends with a reprise of the dancing elks part,
with the credits overlaid over the onscreen action.
Comas music Scoth.elk file : is functional throughout, and perfectly
suited to the humorous style of 3LE. The oustanding thing about 3LE, I
always thought, was the way they were able to combine excellent technical
demos with a humorous image - not an easy task, as many attempts by other
groups have shown us. 3LE is unique...perhaps we should be glad theres
only one of them? Theres not any kind of big difference between choosing
high and low resolution, apart from a dramatic decrease in speed...

review: This is subtitled the strip you never forget, and Im almost
about to agree. This, you see, is a demo Id like to nominate for most
unusual demo of 1997. Its actually more of a cartoon strip than a demo,
which details the adventures of Henry, who leads a very boring life and
goes off to find excitement. I wont reveal the entire storyline, as that
would be ruining the demo. Go check it out yourself instead :
Theres nothing wrong on the audiovisual side, with some good music to
accompany the onscreen action, and reasonable and clean graphics.
Now stop reading and go download this. I guarantee you wont believe you

review: This is more like it! If this little gem came in third, Im dying
to see the two intros that made it before this! Theres fast chunky
bitmap manipulation/zoomers thats most popular here, with some nice and
speedo routines to help things along then again, his handle is Speedo
. Amazingly, one person did all this. Recommended for a good little
intro with fast routines, nice design and nice music.
Heres a quote from the text file: Wont work on over-accelerated
machines with Setpatch activated. So boot without Startup-Sequence or
atleast without Setpatch. Still, it ran fine on my machine, started from
DOpus! Doesnt require a fast processor, but recommends at least 030 with
some fast RAM.

TRSI was born 29.06 1990, when Tristar and Red Sector Inc decided to join
forces on the Red Sector and The Silents Summer Conference 1990. 1991 came
and went, and 1992 saw the birth of a separate TRSI demo section, called
Masque - responsible for the great WICKED SENSATION demo. However, the
following year saw them tired of being merely the demosection of TRSI, so
they left - taking all the legal members with them! This was certainly a
blow for TRSI, but members like Warhead and TSM helped them back onto the
throne. At The Party 93, most of the Polish section teamed up - with XTD
and Norby at the helm. 1994 saw strong releases like CUBIC DREAM, ARTIFICE
and VIKTORIA. Thanks to Mops article in ROM4 for background info.
German musician Virgill joined Complex according to Propaganda 4, but
Virgill later made music for the TRSI demo Twin Peaks 12/96... I believe
the truth is closer to a double membership.
1990 - German sysop The Seeker HOLY TOWER decided to leave the scene
towards the end of the year for personal problems. Germans The Master and
TCM Martin, trade, new 08-11/90 were also kicked late this year. German
musician Jester joined from Proton in october, but moved on to Sanity the
following month, without having produced anything for the group.
1992 - In december swedish musician Emax joined, and immediately
contributed tunes for TRSI cracktros and demos.
1994 - 2Fast left to form Avantgarde in the middle of august.
1995 - Three main organizers now, Control, Warhead and Uyanik! German
graphician Navy ex BASF, 12/93 was kicked early in the year, for unknown
reasons. German musician Blackthorne 93 joined Essence around the middle
of 1995 his joining was announced in their mag ROM 5 95. Nah Kolor was
originally formed in the middle of 1995 by the Polish section of TRSI -
Dreamer ex Surprise! Productions, 12/94, Norby new 12/93, Bald Horse,
Lazur ex TPDL, Elis code, 94, and QBA - to serve as their demosection,
like Surprise! Productions and Masque had in the past. However, the plans
had not been correctly cleared with the leaders of TRSI, and at The Party 5,
Nah Kolor was given the choice of being real TRSI members or leaving in
favour of this new group. The result was that Norby and Bald Horse decided
to stay in TRSI, and that the rest continued as Nah Kolor. The rest of the
Polish section was dismissed, and these people are no longer official
members Python swap, early 95, Reset swap, early 95, Trash Head swap,
early 95 and XTD music, new 12/93-12/94. At least Trash Head and XTD
joined Mystic. German graphician Fiver2 ex Acrid, old handle Fiver,
12/93-95 joined Artwork sometime this year, after the release of his
slideshow Honeycomb 95 for TRSI.
1996 - Graphician Scar joined Session late 96.
1997 - The Finnish group Mellow Chips joined as a subgroup, to serve as
the TRSI demomachinery.
1998 - At The Gathering in april, the Mellow Chips pay off - they win the
demo competition with Rise!
Dutch graphician and swapper Blunt Henk Wijnholds, ex Coolio/Ambrosia,
doublememb Grasshoppers Development, new ROM9 left the scene early 98.
The English section was kicked.
Finnish coder and sysop JHL ZENLANDIA, 04/91-05/94 joined Complex. His

Flynn, TSM, Warhead, Dreamer and Peachy left S!P and joined up with TRSI.
Daryl ex Kid Icarus/Alcatraz joined Delight after a short period, and
took his wellknown papermag B.A.D with him, late 91.

Captain Midnight left late 90.

of two rather dreadful logos, one in the middle of the screen and another
at the very bottom. The rest of the intro is made up of small spinning
vector cubes going constantly in the same circle, and a textplotter.

of their demos before. Amusingly, its signed with Rewireds old handle
Sketch 93, which strengthens my theory that he wasnt around the coder
to change the signature, and that the graphics therefore probably is an
old one. Over the rotzoomer is a pretty standard, ok textplotter. There is
no release date quoted in the intro from their crack of Abduction, but
the module carries a 1994 copyright, so thats my best guess. glenn

takes approximately 25seconds to render. The design is classic, with logo
on top, action in the middle and a scroller at the bottom. Interesting
more for its historical content.
Coder Tom introduces himself as Tom of TPD Tom Python Dreamer. This
small subgroup would later add one more member - Lazur - to form their own
group TPDL. That group existed only for a short while and released only
one production - an intro coded by Tom featuring realtime raytracing! :

review: WWSY is actually a pretty cool little dentro, though helped along
greatly by XTDs energetic tune that gives the demo a sense of pace -
though the lizardking-y lead he employs after a while is perhaps a little
much. Coding also shows some sense of style, thought Tees graphics is of
highly variable quality. His clipart and design graphics seem a lot better
than his larger monster pics, perhaps due to limitations in his dithering
techniques.
Though the demo works perfectly fine on the configuration listed below,
there are some graphical errors on the opening sequence. It requires at
least 1mb chipmem. glenn

code: Errox, gfx: Fiver2, music: Virgill, Rewired.
Sun 1995, AGA Multifile Slideshow, 2 disks.
code: Iron, gfx: Lazur, music: Dreamer.
review: Lazurs first slideshow shows a lot of promise, and a handful of
great pictures. The opening intro is minimalist, but full of polish
language and comes across as very professional. The tune is perhaps not
Dreamers best, a sort-of cover version of an Enya song, with some
breakbeats overlaid after a while. The slideshow itself runs all the
way through, just fade-out fade-in fade-out, and after the last picture
youre presented with a a selector shaped as a TV screen with bw
representations of the pictures. Moving the mouse to the top left of
this display and click will let you exit.
Ofcourse, the most important aspect of any slideshow is the quality of
the graphics, and Sun does not fail here. There are several excellent
quality pictures here, though several show off Lazurs biggest
weaknesses: Anatomy and proportion. His nature and landscape pictures are
always excellent, but when he draws people hes often in over his head.
For more information, read Facets review of this slideshow in R.A.W 8,
its quite interesting. Lazurs next slideshow, Wild 05/96, was
released for Anadune. The distribution is prepared for floppy with great
icons by Lazur!, but includes an installer script for easy harddisk
installation. Released by members of the once-subgroup Nah-Kolor. glenn

World Elite List v1.0 1995, .04, information.
code/gfx: none, music: Men At Work by Tito/Candela ProTracker MOD
format.
review: Well, this is a hard one to classify, but I guess it had to go in
here somehow... As the name implies, this is a pirate production, you
know the kind they used to make lots of - mostly to celebrate themselves.
It comes in the form of an amigaguide file, on an autobooting disk which
also changes the system font and plays annoying techno music in the
background - using a player that is highly incompatible with my system.
The result of this is quite simply sucky sound, but thankfully the guide
file can also be viewed the traditional way. The guide itself is,
naturally, extremely well designed with all manner of gorgeous ascii art.
The list was compiled by Flashback/TRSI from canada. No release date seems
to appear anywhere, but the file dates seem to indicate it was released
around the 16th of april in 1995. After checking the information inside
with some of scenery, this seems to be a correct date.
Interestingly, the supplied music is by a pc scene musician glenn

Twin Peaks 1996, 28.12, AGA 4MB HD Multifile.
code: The Twins, gfx: Noogman/Artwork, music: Blues of Mortality by
Virgill. 4th in The Party 96 demo competition.
review: Twin Peaks is The Twins Magnum Opus - a true thing of beauty.
Theres innovation and eyecandy enough for an entire 40k intro compo
here, with some of the best and fastest routines Ive seen in ages. Words
cannot adequately describe how good it feels to see routines that look
this good, moving at this framerate on my 030-50. Trust me on this one,
despite the low amount of actual design, this demo looks GREAT! Noogman
delivers two pictures, one of which is the title picture and another
fullscreen of a male and female body builder. Lets just conclude that he
needs to work some more on anatomy.
Even though all of this greatness is to be found here, I cant help
thinking that Virgills lazy, slow blues tune keeps it all downpace.
I think this demo could have looked a lot more exciting, and scored a lot
more votes, with a more jumpy track. Overall, though, Twin Peaks is a
demo Ill remember for a while.
The demo wasnt actually going to get released at all, since the
version shown at the party and spread later is a BETA version. The coders
lost all their recent work in a harddisk crash, and was stuck with this
beta as their only backup. Instead of recoding the entire demo, which
they naturally were not prepared to do, they opted to release the demo as
it were. Thank you for that wise decision, Twins. glenn

review: This is a very nice 30k intro from Triumph, which reminds me a
little of an intro the swedish cracker group Horizon once used. The
design is classic, but nicely executed - logo on top, twin sonescrollers
in the middle of the screen. The scrollers have raster colors inside
them, and the overall impression is very good. Graphics and music are
both nice. This intro did some very strange things with the resolution of
my workbench! : glenn

review: Mortality is another one of these theme demos, which try to
tell a story or send a message through the demo medium. Some of these
succeed in creating the mood theyre after, like Syndromes Hardcore
11/96 or Powerlines Enforcing the Law 12/97, but unfortunately most
fail. Tulous attempt, unfortunately, falls into the latter category.
It fails to pick up the pace to sustain interest, and the many parts of
irrelevance bored me stiff.
So is there nothing good about this demo? Why, sure there is! The
graphics are sometimes quite good, and it seems like Razorback is a name
well have to keep a close eye on : The best effect in the demo BTW is
the light at the end of the tunnel one right after the EKG flatlines...
Since Zito disagrees with me over the qulity of this demo, I have chosen
to include his review as well. glenn
At the beginning you can see a clock ticking and suddenly it stops and
you know it is the end while you hear the choirs of angels sing... This is
the start of a very stylish, dark and atmospheric demo by Tulou!
Afterwards appears an animated road seen from a car and suddenly you - the
driver - hit a man standing in the middle of it. Hes lieing in the light
of your cars reflectors. Bleeding. His heart is still beating as you can
see on the EKG-Viewer, but the world fades away and when you see the well-
known tunnel of light you know he is also dead. At the cemetery the death
himself watches over the dead... Now the picture is zoomed not perfectly
but nice and after an ugly face the best picture with the closest of this
demo is presented to your eyes. Then follows a senseless pause after the
davids cross and another nice tunnel appears. You are on cemetery again
and while your look scrolls right you are able to read the credits on
tombstones. Then it seems you are in hell but when the endscroller shows
up the colors get brighter and peacefull clouds are to be seen...
This is a demo with real style. Maybe some of you will find it too dark
and morbid but I like it very much. It is one of my favorites. Not only
because of the very dark style and the fabulous pictures by Razorback, but
also because it is not too long and particulary because of the music. This
is a real score! I have never heard a tune that fit better in every part
of a demo. Its a demo no one should have missed. But it could be a better
one if it ended by fading out not with this endless loop and if the title
were be better presented! zito

Pusherman 1998, 13.06, AGA/CGX 8MB Multifile Demo.

Winner of the Remedy 98 demo competition!
review: An asian-flavoured guitar lick opens the original Pusherman, and
takes us into Tulous demo world - a very very weird place to be. There
are quite a few attempts at doing something different within this
production, from the music to the charming kung-fu quotes. The effect with
the multi-layer bumpmapping was very nice. Graphics are overall very
original, if not especially GOOD... They seem to have been mostly scanned
and then retouched for the desired effect. Not exactly a showstopping
demo. glenn

review: A500 Stuff is not bad, but not terribly exciting either.
The tune could have been better, but given the 4k limit its more than
enough. The code consists of two effects, one being a linevector semi-
caleidoscope effect in green, and the second being a few badly
texturemapped, blocky cubes. Nothing here that makes you go wow, but an
OK place to spend 10 seconds of your life : glenn
