About this demo:
========================================
When we were busy working on the Phaleon
demo, we received a screen from The
Fraggle's. After some bug fixing their
screen was finally accepted in the demo.
Few month later they asked us if we would
like to participate to their own new demo
the "Bird Mad Girl Show". We agreed but
said that we would probably not have the
time to make something brand new and
exciting, that it would probably contain
some old recycled code.
After digging in my floppies I found out
that I had still a number of unreleased
things, made from between 1988 and 1990.
Nothing awesome, but put together could
be used to make some kind of multipart
demo.
So I took the original "Big Scroll" that
I wrote in 1998 as the basis, optimizing
it so I could add a modplayer and the
Space Invaders game on top of it.
For the intro sequence both the 3D TTZP
and DBUG were also made before I joined
NeXT (The DBUG vectorballs become later
the rotating NeXT logo in the Charts 2).
The speech synthesis comes from the good
old SPEECH.TOS.
You can see the demo it was supposed to
