Drifters/Reviews

Cheap Blittering (1991, 06.02, ECS File)

Review by Glenn Lunder

Please be advised that the version reviewed here is a re-issue version, put on Aminet by Drifters in April 1996, for the purpose of archiving. The readme file says Amiga OS 3.x, so its compatibility may therefore not be the same as the original's.

Gudule (1995, File)

Review by Glenn Lunder

I suppose this would be a lot more entertaining if I knew french... You see, this is just a set of pictures set to a 'tune' with sung french vocals. All pretty amusing, I'm sure, but I don't understand squat :)

Disco (1996, 07.04, HD File)

Review by Glenn Lunder

High points for originality, but that doesn't help this out of the mud, I'm afraid. It's pretty much an animation player :) The demo's high point is actually the first 10 seconds, when a voice announces "Hello and welcome to the Boris disco party", immediately followed by Calvin and Hobbes getting down to a disco groove. Cool, you think - so how about the demo? There is none. It's just more cartoon figures, set to the sound of that soon-becomes-mighty-irritating disco tune. Avoid.
I find no indication that this needs AGA. It is HD only due to the size, but there is no reason why it can't be run from disk if it's packed first.
