--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As there seemed to be no major release planned by some french band for OUTLINE
Party the present froggies decided to join their forces to create something
together then, the result was this small 96K intro for the ST.
This intro supports the most machines, runs smooth on ST and emulations and
offers enhanced video settings for the Falcon too, so well done.
We start with the usual info screen that reminds to many bootloaders, as we get
a multidirectional scrolling background with little pixel hearts as well as some
short informations about the screen. Also the music starts to play right here
and it's a good sid sound designer demo tune by DMA SC.
We go on then with a nice transition with a vector square that fills up the
screen, followed by a picture of C-Rem, showing a cute girl, that you were able
to see in the last UCM's newspart. We go on with some one plane presents logos
that scrolling upwards over the screen and C-REM offers us another nice pixel
storm, an Outline logo.
Finally the next effect pops up, it shows interference rays in a box on the left
side of the screen while the right side is filled with some pixeled elf or
something, by C-REM again. The screen is ok, but no woah effect.
Somewhere I have seen the picture motive before... ?!
Then a small rabbit picture jumps in, painted by EXOCET in his typical style we
love so much, and finally some one plane vector star loosing some dusty pixels
flies around on the screen, quite similar to the effect you could see in the
intro for UCM 23. Get this one...
Blow the dust away little bunnie...
And that's it nearly, we just get an end screen then with some one plane scroll
that reminds hard to DUNE's latest demo, "FANTASIA", just that there aren't any
fishes included here. Over and out... not to forget that the intro doesn't goes
back to GEM then as it was announced in the intro.
SO WHAT? Thanx to the froggies for the fast putting together, even if this small
intro can't deal with the previous releases by DUNE. DUNE? Yes, as the
intro lives from CHUCK's routines mainly. The tune is nice, the grafix
are tasty and the very few effects do their jobs, but the design falls
back as well as the whole impression, but for the fast putting together
live on the Party it is well done... Hope to see some more french major
releases next time!
