Back In Town (1998, AGA 4MB 030 Multifile Demo)

Review by Glenn Lunder

Annoyingly, this is one of those demos with an every-other-pixel c2p routine... No matter what anyone says, it will never look as good as solid objects. Having said that, this is not an ALL bad demo, though there is little in the way of groundbreaking effects (they do the standard phong/bump-stuff), there is a certain level of competence evident. With some better pacing, more handpixeled graphics, and a better slightly better sense of what makes a demo work, these guys could go places. The music is of very variable quality. Bass-Cadet's graphics are mostly of the raytraced variety. OK then, but a little way to go yet.
I was unsuccessful at trying to run this from RAM, but once I ran from HD with no startup-sequence, it worked wonderfully.
tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1.
