Most totally kicks ass, with some in your face techno music and some very weird visuals! The only down side to this demo is that not all effects are in full screen, but that doesn't matter much, because the demo is still totally excellent! ** 6MB RAM REQUIRED, HARD DRIVE ONLY, SUPPLIED IN ABACKUP FORMAT, WILL REQUIRE ABACUP 5.11 ON DISK 4182 TO EXTRACT DEMO TO HARD DRIVE ** Disk 4185 (ABCDEFG) - ARTWORK:EXIT PLANET DUST (7 DISKS) 2nd place winner at THE GATHERING 97 party! This is a most totally cool demo! The 1st part features a sort of Stone Henge in space theme, which has the programmers & a lot of odd shaped rocks floating about in space `n' things! After the initial space shit there is more futuristic theme effects, virtual world stuff, tunnels, flying stars, strange metallic spinning, morphing objects etc. etc. Absolutely completely and utterly kick ass kinda demo! turn up the bass and piss of your next door nabours, because the music is pretty damn cool! ** 10MB RAM REQUIRED, 68030+ REQUIRED, HARD DRIVE ONLY, SUPPLIED IN COMMODORES HDBACKUP FORMAT, WILL REQUIRE HDBACKUP ON DISK 4182 TO EXTRACT DEMO TO HARD DRIVE ** Disk 4186(ABCDEFG) - TRIUMPH:ECLIPSE!

The 1st thing that you immediately notice about this one is the impressive sub base sound track! The demo then moves on into a virtual world of great effects, (some of wich put the Play Station to shame)! Is the Amiga a dead platform that can't keep up? I think not!!!! Although this demo is very good I think that the "X4183(ABC) WARD:BLACK HAIR TOUNG DESEASE" should have won the demo contest because that was full screen and this one isn't. Then again I am not much of a coder compared to these guys, so I guess personal opinions don't count! Get this demo now, and put your friends incompatible computer platforms to complete and utter shame (well almost)! ** 6MB RAM REQUIRED, HARD DRIVE ONLY, SUPPLIED IN ABACKUP FORMAT, WILL REQUIRE ABACUP 5.11 ON DISK 4182 TO EXTRACT DEMO TO HARD DRIVE ** Disk 4189(AB) - MUI V3.8 & KINGCON1.2 MUI - MagicUserInterface, Version 3.8 - is an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces. From a programmers point of view, using MUI saves a lot of time and makes life much easier. Thinking about complicated terms like window resizing or font sensitivity is simply not neccesary. On the other hand, users of MUI based applications have the ability to customize nearly every pixel of a programs interface according to their personal taste. Hard drive required. Also included on disk 2 is a copy of KingCON - a console-handler that optionally replaces the standard 'CON:' and 'RAW:' devices. It is 100% compatible, but adds some VERY useful features, such as.. * Filename-completion (TAB-expansion) * A review-buffer * Intuition menus * Global preferences * Jump-scroll. (FAAST output!) * Asynchronous typeahead. (Optional) * Cursor-positioning using the mouse * MC68020-optimized version * And more...
