Starline/Reviews

Review by Glenn Lunder
Starline calls this, their first production, a demo - but we have decided to brand it otherwise. It's a singlescreen affair, with a typical '1990 flavour', but not the worst of its kind. It's got a certain air of competence about it. The screen is essentially split in two; The top half has a 'waving' yellow Starline logo (not bad) overlaid on a 3d starfield. The bottom has a checkerboard moving towards the viewer, and around the middle is a sinusscroller - again overlaid on equalizers (three different kinds are chooseable with the right mousebutton). Strangely enough, this is not as cluttered as it may sound. Typical of its time, but a good example of said style nevertheless.

Caches off, original chipset was the only way to get this to work on my configuration. The music was ripped from a game (as they openly admit), but we regrettably were not able to discover exactly which one.

tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1 -- Note: See review!
