Finely Sliced by ChristopherJam
WELCOME TO THE IMPOSSIBLE. CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES? MANY OF MY FRIENDS IN THE UCC ARE WONDERING WHEN I PUT AN AMIGA CHIPSET INTO MY C64! IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION TO YOU, THE RED BAR IN THE BORDER SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF RASTER TIME I HAVE LEFT... CREDITS TIME!!! COOL CHARSET BY TECH'N'ZORRO OF UPFRONT, TITLE SCREEN CHARS FROM THE HUNTERS MOON DEMO (VERY IMPRESSIVE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, BUT NOT QUITE AS FINELY SLICED AS THIS... ) AND MUSIC FROM THE GOD-LIKE 1600 BOBS DEMO BY THE VOICE. ALL CODE PLUS PICCY BY ME, CHRISTOPHER JAM. SO WHAT IS THE UCC? PERHAPS A SMALL SHOAL OF PINK FISH? QUITE CLOSE. WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY COMPUTER CLUB, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA IN PERTH. I AM A FOOLISH C64 PROGRAMMER WHO HAS BEEN BASHING THE POOR MACHINE FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO (IT IS NOW 12/3/91) I WORKED OUT HOW TO DO THE WONDER EFFECT YOU SEE ABOVE. HAVING MANY TIMES IN THE PAST WORKED OUT HOW TO DO WONDEROUS THINGS THE MACHINE HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE ONLY TO NOT ACTUALLY GET AROUND TO RELEASING ANY DEMOS, I GOT QUITE ANNOYED AT THE NUMBER OF TIMES OTHER PEOPLE RECEIVED CREDIT FOR DOING SOMETHING FIRST SIX MONTHS AFTER I DID IT. SO THIS TIME, I SPENT TWO WEEKS CODING THIS SILLY DEMO. BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE 64! WHO SAYS THAT ONLY AMIGAS CAN DO THIS SORT OF THING? JUST LOOK AT 4D DEMO SET BY THE VOICE FOR THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS I'VE YET TO SEE OF WHAT THIS MACHINE CAN DO. (I WON'T TRY TO COMPARE MY DEMO TO THIERS, MY POINT OF VIEW IS FAR TOO SUBJECTIVE TO MAKE A COMPARISON!) THANX TO SILICON OF CHROME FOR HIS LOAN OF HIS ACTION REPLAY MK VI, WHICH WAS USED TO GLUE THIS DEMO TOGETHER. GREETS TO ALL UCCANS, PARTICULARLY [ECF] WHO ALSO EXPERIMENTED WITH THE MAGICAL YSCROLL REGISTER AFTER I SHOWED HIM HUNTERS MOON, AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT THEY WERE DOING. SPECIAL GREETS TO [JRC], MY GIRLFRIEND WHO HAS ENDURED MUCH COMPETITION FROM THE 64 THESE PAST FEW WEEKS. HELLO ALSO TO LEGO, THE CLAM, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE ESCAPED FROM CORPUS CHRISTI (ONCE MY HIGH SCHOOL...) FINAL AND FRABJIOUS GREETINGS TO THE VOICE AND UPFRONT, THE BEST GROUPS IN EUROPE. PINK FISH FOREVER!!!!!!!! WRAP - -
