Full group name is 'Starry Knights Productions' and so this demo is *not* from the current group with the same name.

The most stuff was done by the well known Chris 'Gooroo' Egerter from Canada. Some pretty good effects (not really new ones) and nice tunes.

well, if it's nto from the current group, why add it to the list of current group's productions? 8]

They used both the abbreviation SKP and so the older group has atleast the same right for the name like the current one. That's it, no discussion!

Personally, I would've filed it under "Starry Knights Productions" or even "SKP (Canada)" to avoid confusion, but, whatever. This was their only demo anyway. And yes, it features the code of GooRoo, before he joined my old group Kosmic and went on to make other demos like Flight, Little Green Men, and Dreams. The music isn't bad, but the effects are dull and outdated even for 1994, except for a couple creative combinations (note-bar/landscape, fire-mapped cube). And other than some rendered logos, no gfx to speak of. He hadn't quite mastered the technique of clock-timing yet, as some parts fly by in a couple seconds on fast PCs. I can't thumb it down out of respect for a fellow group-mate, and besides, his first demo in 1993 was a lot worse than this. :)

Most parts look like someone threw up, but all in all it's ok for its time.

A lot of awful stuff, some cool bits (like the million equalizers and the voxel thing). Funny how it is very inspired by Second Reality, but all parts are inferior to it.

A good sum up of PC demoscene FX that were found back in the days!
