nice GFA + excellent zick : ) ...
GFA oldies ! cool :)
sytem font horror...
Well, thumb for the zik :)
cool you managed to do this in such a short time! :D
Nice to see a Dbug lifesign, also not bad for oldskool GFA stuff.
Cool stuff! Thanx Dbug!
Trop cool :)
As i said in person, I like this one :)
i like the newspaper idea and nice too see some old stuff, but the quality is really low
Yay+++
Good old GFA things
even for a gfa demo, this isn't very good...
this one is to even out all the namevoting thumbups

gfa, revival :)
agreed with Havoc.
But I guess that was a compo filler / HDD empti-er so piggy for getting something out.

About "suck" and "system font", as I wrote in the nfo, most of the demo has been lost.
On the total time spent to put it together, most of the time has been into trying to find out what was working, what was not working (I had to rebuild the blitter scroller with the moving background, but miserably failed to get the palette changes to work, was losing the video sync), extracting some of the inlines of some versions, converting to .lst using different versions of the gfa (most of the screens where done on different bootable floppies using different versions of the gfa, don't remember why), ... and most importantly, trying to remember what the code was doing at all (lack of comments + global variables + two letter long names, tend to not help a lot).
As people on the party place can testify, I was trying to get the demo finished despite the MegaSTE corrupting data (thanks to Satan Disk not working correctly...), and my laptop not able to run Steem at decent speed: Having a decent font was really not the priority :)
Anyway, the thing is released, that was the objective. I was planning to put the source code in the archive, but totally forgot. Will put a link later when the laptop is plugged back.

Arg, I feel totally lame, I got the credits wrong... the music is not from Tomchi/Noescape ! It's by Tomchi/Noextra !
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
(Beer + lack of sleep = no good)
Anyway, a correct version is here, I will try to fix the download link:
http://www.defence-force.org/computing/atari/demos/files/ForgottenBits.zip
It also contains the source code, both as .GFA and .LST format.

Sorry but there isn't anything good in this prod but the screenshot I'm afraid. some things should die in drawer...

+1 for this old back screen in gfa
+1 for the code
+1 for the zik
