WELCOME TO A NEW DEMO FROM THE FUTURE CONCEPTS FACTORIES AFTER BEING INACTIVE FOR SO MANY YEARS WE FINALLY DECIDED TO RISE AGAIN FROM OUR ASHES AND GET OUT OF OUR DEEP SLEEP. SOME YEARS AGO, WE ALREADY DID A PSEUDO COMEBACK BY RELEASING SOME OLD PARTS THAT NEVER WERE PUBLISHED AND THAT WE DECIDED AFTER ALL TO FINALIZE INTO A SO CALLED DEMO (CRUSADE! AND CARTOON). BUT THIS YEAR, THE THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AFTER THE SMALL "GAME 02",WHOSE NAME WAS AN ANAGRAM OF THIS PRODUCTION, WE COME NOW WITH SOME FRESH NEW STUFF. DO NOT EXPECT REALLY ASTONISHING CODE AND STATE OF THE ART PARTS. I (KRONOS) AM AN OLD SCHOOL CODER AND SO THIS WHOLE DEMO WILL BE ALSO IN OLD SCHOOL STYLE. ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN TO WATCH IT, AS I HAD TO MAKE IT. - ******** - "P"P" - WELCOME TO A NEW DEMO FROM THE FUTURE CONCEPTS FACTORIES AFTER BEING INACTIVE FOR SO MANY YEARS WE FINALLY DECIDED TO RISE AGAIN FROM OUR ASHES AND GET OUT OF OUR DEEP SLEEP.

ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN TO WATCH IT, AS I HAD TO MAKE IT. OMEGA 2 IN FACT IS AN OLD PROJECT THAT I STARTED MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO. IN THE NINETIES, WE IN FUTURE CONCEPTS DECIDED TO START A NEW SERIES OF DEMOS CALLED OMEGA. SOON AFTER RELEASING THE FIRST ONE, WE CREATED A SMALL "TEASER" CALLED "COMING SOON - OMEGA 2", BUT THIS PRODUCTION NEVER SAW THE LIGHT. I MUST ADMIT THAT I WAS A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATED BY THIS.I WAS SO ASHAMED THAT IT CONVINCED ME TO START AGAIN SOME PROGRAMMING ON THAT DAMNED C64 IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL THAT WE SET IN 1990. SO OMEGA 2 IS DONE, FINALLY! I DO NOT THINK THAT ANOTHER SEQUEL WILL EVER BE MADE, BUT WHO KNOWS. LET THE DOOR OPEN. ..... NOW LET ME GIVE SOME CREDITS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVES IT. I WOULD LIKE FIRST TO GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO CELTIC OF ARSENIC WHO NOT ONLY SUPPORTED ME WITH GREAT GRAPHICS, BUT ALSO WITH GOOD COMMENTS AND REMARKS WHICH HELPED ME TO MAKE OF THIS DEMO WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY.
