POL> Dalthon (code, 11/96).
Frank Frazetta part 4 (1995, 30.04, OCS 64k Intro).
code/gfx: Dalthon, music: Peters.
Released for the Eastern Conference 1995 64k intro competition.
review: Don't know how classify this strange production. From one side it
looks like non standard intro but from second hand it's a mini slideshow
for sure! Everything start with emulation of old zx-spectrum's boot
sequence. We can see a typical basic screen and somebody is listing dir,
after while choses a Frank4.exe file and launchs it. Joker's logo and nice
chip music appear. Here follow 8 grayscaled (16 col.) pictures, 3 in hi-
res laced and 5 in low-res resolution. Wonderful. When all graphics are
showed a standard choose menu becomes visible and under it scroller starts
to flow. Operating by mouse you're able to watch every picture one more
time.
Dalthon is known for his talent of making short but great executables
and as we see "Frank Frazetta" is a good example. Production preffered to
all "long time ago..." maniacs. [kempy]
Chunky Blitter (1996, 10.11, ECS 4k Intro).
code: Dalthon, gfx: none, music: n/a.
5th in the Gravity 96 4k intro competition.
review: We watch the flashing 'please wait' text for a while, before
being catapulted into a world of fractal based effects. The intro looks
quite good, using a sort of smoothing effect that doesn't retract too
much from the overall impression. The intro also contains quite a lot
more than I expected it to; it pumped out at least three good effect
variations after I was convinced the show was over. Then, after it's
all done, and the coder credit appears, a small tune is played! It's a
bit of a mystery why Dalthon didn't play the tune during the intro...
The text file that comes with this is in Polish. [glenn]
