Megademo II (1990, .05, ECS Trackloaded Megademo)

Review by Glenn Lunder

Cool! For a megademo from 1990, this is not bad at all. There's several stars-to-be appearing here. Bruno became big, Golem did good later on... It opens with an 'animation' (3 frames :) of a monk opening a Gate, before the text 'Gate Megademo II' is overlayed. The loader part is unspectacular, just a Golem picture with a priest and the GMDII text. The first part is the BOB-part. 16col animated bobs flying around to a cool tune by Griffin. Not a bad opening at all! Great for its time.
tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.

Review by Glenn Lunder

The FUNKY tune by Bruno is the big saving grace here... The demo itself is not so hot, but that down-and-deep-funk tune has me reaching for the Pro-Wiz button like a rabbit for a carrot! Intec later made a lot of good graphics for Crusaders, a.o. in the Eurochart.
This demo was supposed to compete in the demo competition at the No Limits & IMP-666 Party (held 10/90) in Norway, as mentioned in the demo. Since it did not, it's a fair assumption it was released a little later?
GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0.
-- Note: Works, but exits rather ungracefully.
