IFA (1996, 18.08, AGA 64k Intro)

Review by Glenn Lunder

Mostly HAM8 effects here, like colorful ripples and the like. I'm sure it's hard to code, but it's not all that interesting to look at, I'm afraid... And the music or graphics doesn't save it either.
tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.

Insane (1996, 18.08, AGA HD 4MB File)

Review by Glenn Lunder

A little large (4mb filedemo!) for what it offers, this is still a short but sweet production. There are certainly some goodlooking effects here, like a trip down a wiggly road (animation?) and a cool colorful tunnel trip complete with moving lights. The music on this doesn't appeal to me at all, it's just monotonous and irritating. That bass has actually given me a headache now!

Kiitos? (1996, 23.11, AGA 8MB HD File)

Review by Glenn Lunder

"Kiitos?" is a nice production from Extend, with some goodlooking and colorful effects. Unfortunately, the demo doesn't move too fast on my machine. The text file mentions an 040/40mhz or better is recommended, and I have no trouble believing that. Design is adequate though, and neither graphics nor music gets too much on your nerves. There's not a lot of actual drawings here, but what there is is mostly functional. Overall, I'll have to confess I quite like this, though it's quite short for the filesize (2mb, or 4mb unpacked!)
The unpacked demo binary contains the text string '$VER: Kiitos v0.33 BY Extend (22.11.1996)'.
