THE DEMO
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A complete journey on one 880 KiB disk: opening logo and scroller,
a 23-scene film sequence, and scrolling credits with an animated
spider that walks, climbs and swings between the actual letters.
The film combines planar artwork, filled vector cels, static depth
layers, hardware sprites, camera tracks and Copper zoom. Intro and
film music use compressed sample data to fit the disk.
The outro combines two playfields, a Copper colour gradient and
sprites. The credits scroll once, then the music playlist continues.
After returning to the moon, the spider moves gently to the music.

MUSIC COMPRESSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Current floppy edition, compared with reconstructed full-size MODs:
Track MOD bytes Packed bytes Reduction Ratio
Tivoli 66,160 9,939 85.0% 6.66:1
Warhead 287,572 51,542 82.1% 5.58:1
Combined 353,732 61,481 82.6% 5.75:1
These figures cover the packed music payloads. Warhead's payload
includes its decoder and relocation table. Together they occupy
61,952 bytes after disk-sector padding; shared player code is extra.
Lossy sample compression is combined with lossless packing. The
notes and arrangement are retained. Give It a Try does not use
lossy sample compression and is not included in these figures.
The compressed Tivoli and Warhead modules sound best with the
Amiga 500 audio filter.
