1 {THE STORY CONTINUES} AFTER MY BIRTHDAY (11 JANUARY) IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH I WROTE A COUPLE OF NICE SCROLL ROUTINES AND SOME MORE EFFECTS, WHICH AGAIN YOU MAY SEE IN ZAGADKA (: THE CONCEPT). BECAUSE AS YOU MIGHT HAVE GUESSED I DUMPED ALL OF THE ROUTINES IN THE MIDDLE OF APRIL (UP UNTIL THIS TIME CRYSTAL WAS GOING TO BE A SINGLE LOAD) AND STARTED FROM SCRATCH WITH A RELEASE DATE OF ABOUT THE END OF JUNE OR THE START OF JULY (AFTER MY EXAMS). SO WHAT HAPPENED? WHY IS IT NOW THE END OF AUGUST AND I'M JUST COMING ROUND TO FINISHING CRYSTAL?

1 [QUICK, MAKE UP AN EXCUSE] WELL, YOU SEE, I'VE BEEN PLACED IN STASIS FOR THE 8 MONTHS AND FOR THE 5 DAYS I'VE BEEN WRITING THIS DEMO...
1 [DON'T YOU JUST HATE ALL THESE RHETORICAL QUESTIONS? [AND THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE!]] WELL I'M AFRAID THE ANSWER IS QUITE SIMPLE: I'M VERY LAZY, THAT'S ALL, OH YEAH, THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS MY +3 AND DISCIPLE GOING WEST BUT LET'S NOT GO INTO THOSE...

1 YOUR CURRENTLY READING AN FLP AND LISTENING TO A SOUNDTRACKER SONG (ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN AY). THERE'S A COUPLE OF ATTRIBUTE SCROLLS AND BENEATH THIS SCROLL ARE 35 BUBBLES WHICH ARE COMING OUT OF THE PAGE AT YOU. AT ONE TIME I HAD 50 OF THESE AFORESAID BUBBLES BUT THE SCREEN LOOKED A BIT TOO MESSY. OK! TO GET TO THE NEXT PART YOU CAN PROD THAT BIG OLD SPACE BAR!

1 SO WHADDYA THINK OF THIS PART?
1 SINCE THE STORY HAS EFFECTIVELY ENDED I THINK THIS IS A GOOD A TIME AS ANY TO SEND FUCKINGS TO MY 2 OLD PHYSICS TEACHERS. LET ME EXPLAIN, THE FIRST ONE, MR X (FOR SAKE OF ARGUMENT IS A HOPELESS INCOMPETENT. DURING 2 YEARS OF LESSONS WITH HIM WE (AS A CLASS) MANAGE TO COVER JUST OVER TWO THIRDS OF WHAT WAS NECESSARY. THE OTHER, A CERTAIN MR Y (AGAIN FOR SAKE OF ARGUMENT) IS A COMPLETE TOSSPOT. HE SHOWED ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN TEACHING US AT ALL - WHEN HE GAVE US NOTES HE ALWAYS TALKED IN A MONOTONE WHICHASIAMSUREYOUREALISEISVERYHARDTOTAKENOTESFROM, AND HE ALSO INSISTED DOING OTHER THINGS EG SORTING OUT DRAWERS WHILST "TEACHING" US. TAKING ALL THESE FACTS TOGETHER I'D LIKE BIG, BIG FUCKINGS ON BEHALF OF M SELF AND THE REST OF MY CLASS TO MR X AND MR Y OF A CERTAIN SCHOOL IN MALVERN! NOW AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A COPY OF TRANSFER (VERSION 1.0 - 2/8/93). DON'T USE IT! IT HAS GOT A VERY BAD BUG IN IT WHICH PREVENTS IT FROM WRITING TO SIDE 2 OF THIS DISC PROPERLY WHICH CAUSE FILES ON SIDE 1 TO

1 ON CHRISTMAS EVE DAY (THAT'S 24/12 FOR THOSE UNSURE) 1992 I SAT DOWN ON MY CHAIR IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER, SWITCHED IT, LOADED UP MY ASSEMBLER, PRODDED A FEW KEYS AND CAME UP WITH A COUPLE OF DUMB SCREEN EFFECTS. ACTUALLY THEY WEREN'T THAT BAD SO MAYBE YOU'LL SEE THEM IN MY NEXT DEMO, ZAGADKA : THE CONCEPT, ASSUMING I FINISH IT!

1 AT LAST YOU'VE REACHED THE END OF THE KILODEMO, BUT WHY THE NAME? THE EXPLANATION IS OF COURSE INSULTINGLY SIMPLE - THE DEMO IS LARGER THAN A NORMAL DEMO BUT SMALLER THAN A MEGADEMO, I GUESS I COULD'VE CALLED IT A HECTODEMO BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SEVENTIES TV PROGRAMME AND WOULD THUS BE EVEN MORE DODGY THAN KILODEMO!
1 AS I'M SURE YOU'VE NOTICED THERE ARE 8 SPRITES BELOW TRAVELLING ON LJ FIGURES AND YOUR CURRENTLY VIEWING A BOUNCY FLP AND THERE'S ALSO A SELECTOR BAR FOR THOSE FROODY SPRITES OH YEAH! I FORGOT SOMETHING! TO ALTER THE MOTION OF THE SPRITES YOU CAN USE THE KEYS 5-8.
1 AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS MY THIRD DEMO PROGRAM (I ONLY STARTED CODING SOMETIME LAST YEAR) BUT IT'S ABOUT MY 40TH PROGRAM SINCE 1990. I WON'T LIST THEM BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT WOULD FILL UP LOTS OF MEMORY IT WOULD GET VERY BORING BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE LIST INCLUDES A LOT OF UNRELEASED STUFF WHICH YOU'LL NEVER SEE!!!
1 ANYWAY, THIS SORT OF THING WENT ON AND OFF TILL ABOUT 9 JANUARY WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING A GAME, ON THE SAME DAY I DESIGNED IT (?!) AND WROTE IT, THAT GAME WAS "MEGATRON", A SIMPLE AFFAIR BUT FUN. BUT BACK TO THE STORY, IN "MEGATRON" I SAID A VERY RASH SENTENCE. I SAID THAT I'D RELEASE A DEMO A MONTH FOR THE YEAR. AS YOU CANNOT FAIL TO HAVE NOTICED I HAVEN'T BEEN SUCCESSFUL; THIS IS MY FIRST DEMO THIS YEAR.
