War of the Worlds by Binary Zone
- - - ...ACROSS THE GULF OF SPACE,MINDS IMMEASURABLY SUPERIOR TO OURS REGARDED THIS EARTH WITH ENVIOUS EYES... AND SLOWLY... AND SURELY... THEY DREW THEIR PLANS AGAINST US... DUN DUN DURRRR... WELCOME TO THE WAR OF THE WORLDS DEMO WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL JEFF WAYNE DOUBLE ALBUM AND THE SPECTRUM GAME BASED ON THAT ALBUM. KENZ IS HERE TO KEEP YOU COMPANY IN THIS SCROLLY TEXT WITH SOME WAFFLE TO BEMUSE AND BEFUDDLE YOU. IM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A BIG WAR OF THE WORLDS PHASE AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE PC STRATEGY GAME. THE GAME ITSELF IS EXCELLENT BUT I WAS FAR MORE INTERESTED IN THE GAME MUSIC WHICH,LUCKILY FOR ME,TURNED OUT TO BE OUTSTANDING. THE GAME FEATURES STUNNINGLY AUTHENTIC CD REMIXES OF ALBUM TRACKS - DONE IN A MODERN STYLE. THE EVE OF THE WAR REMIX ON THE MARTIAN CD IS PARTICULARLY GOOD. I ALSO LIKED THE WAY THE MARTIAN FIGHTING MACHINES IN THE GAME WERE BASED ON THE PICTURES ON THE ALBUM COVER. THE WAY THE RICHARD BURTON NARRATION NOW HAS RENDERED FOOTAGE SO YOU CAN -SEE- WHAT HE IS DESCRIBING FOR THE FIRST TIME IS ALSO VERY CLEVER. ALL IN ALL,A GOOD PURCHASE - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER YOU GET THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM WAR OF THE WORLDS AUDIO CD BUNDLED WITH IT AND THE WHOLE PACKAGE ONLY COST 20 QUID. GOOD STUFF INDEEDY. THERES A PLAYSTATION GAME COMING OUT WHICH IS BASED ON THE ALBUM - AND FROM WHAT IVE SEEN HAS A MORE ARCADEY FEEL TO IT SO I CANT WAIT FOR THAT ONE. BUT THATS ENOUGH MINDLESS PLUGGING OF PC AND PLAYSTATION PRODUCTS. HERES THE CREDITS FOR THIS DEMO... THE CODING WAS PERFORMED BY JASON KELK,THE GRAPHICS WERE PLUCKED FROM THE SPECCY BY KENZ AND THEN CONVERTED ONTO THE C64 BY JASON KELK. THE EXCELLENT WAR OF THE WORLDS MEGAMIX WAS PRODUCED BY NANTCO BAKKER. THIS SCROLLY WAS ORIGINALLY TYPED IN ON THE PC WITH THE MUSIC FROM THE PC GAME BLARING OUT OF MY CD PLAYER. AT THE MOMENT THE ZONE IS FILLED WITH THE DELICIOUS AROMA OF ROAST BEEF COOKING WHICH ISNT HELPING MY CONCENTRATION BECAUSE IM ABSOLUTELY STAAAAAARVING. DROOL. SLAVVER. OKEYDOKEY. IVE DONE THE INTRO,WIBBLED ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THE DEMO AND HAVE DONE THE CREDITS. WHAT ELSE... I SUPPOSE ROUN ABOUT NOW WOULD BE A NICE TIME TO SAY HELLO TO A FEW MILLION PEOPLE...
