- [glenn]
- GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.
- Virtual Conspiracy Intro (1995, 01.04, 40k Intro).
- code: Metal, gfx: Louie, Metal, music: Senile.
- Released for the Virtual Conspiracy 95 40k intro, but unplaced.
- review: Not terribly interesting, the best thing here comes at the very
- beginning with the burning vectors. Don't know what else to tell you...
- It's quite average. [glenn]
- GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.0.

- 3rd in the Abduction 95 demo competition.

- code: Blaze, gfx: Louie, music: Jozef.
- Winner of the Remedy 95 40k intro competition!
- Frenzy 100% (1995, 22.10, AGA 40k Intro).
- code: Blaze, gfx: Louie, music: Jozef.
- review: Nicely designed but oh so short is this little winner intro.
- I guess they made a decision on the 'squaky tune and blocky picture' vs
- 'short but extremely sweet' dilemma and chose the latter. Not that I'm
- complaining, I'm all for sweetness!
- The code's nothing revolutionary, and neither are the graphics or the
- music. The design is what I guess makes this one any special...
- This is the 100% version, which is 5k larger than the original 40k
- competition intro. [glenn]
- GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.
- Inside (1995, 28.12, AGA 40k Intro).
- code: Blaze, gfx: Louie, music: Vedder.
- 33rd in The Party 5 40k intro competition.
- review: Objects, objects, objects... No, seriously, "Inside" opens with
- some credits (as - yes, you've guesse it - shaded objects) fly towards
- the viewer from various parts of the screen. The background has some sort
- of colorcycling effect, but it doesn't look too good. Everything here
- seems to use some kind of smoothing, which looks perhaps a little like
- what Virtual Dreams used in "242", only smoother. Short is ok if it's
- also sweet, but this isn't, really. It's more of an aftertaste thing :)
- This is not terribly interesting, but didn't really deserve to end up
- dead last either... [glenn]
- GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.0.
