- Lunatic -
This demo was released 6/6 - 1993.
It took many hours to finish Lunatic, mainly because of our complex
vectorsystem, but I think it was worth it. The coding is made by
Zyric and Baldric but it'd be impossible to say who made what, coz
we work very well together and have worked on the same routines.
The graphics are made by Nik and Rubber Duck and the music by a famous
musician called Omikron.
System requirements:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ * 386 processor (486 preferably) │
│ * VGA (a fast one, even more important than a 486) │
│ * About 550 KB Base Memory, No EMM, QEMM or similar │
│ * The demo supports SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster PRO, SoundPlayers and │
│ the poor internal speaker │
│ * Modem, LaserPrinter and Scanner are optional :-) │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Since this demo was mainly developed on a 386/25 and a 386/16 with
slow VGA cards, we were stunned when we tested it on a 486 with
local bus because many routines were running too fast, but we didn't have the
time to fix that so if you have a fast VGA card, select a better
computer in the setup (and opposite if you have a slow card)
Q:
This demo competed at the computer crossroad, but why didn't you
release it?
A:
Because our SoundBlasterRoutine fucked up. Somehow the DMA
didn't like the size (in memory) of our demo and wasn't able
to output the data correcly. This is now fixed, and we hope it'll
work fine on every computer.
Q:
I was at the party in Gothenburg, and when you showed the demo
on the bigscreen there was no sound, was this the same problem?
A:
NO! we used Soundplayer at the party coz we were aware of the
SoundBlaster bug, but there was some problem with the parallel
port or something on their computer so the output signal was too low and
almost no sound was heard.
Since our last release - Birthro, we have changed some members...
* Spoonie J and Brain are kicked out.
* Moleql joined.
