Sith, I'll have to say you're doing a really good job working your way through the top 250 demos and continously leaving comments here on CSDB. Someday I should do the same!

Some really cool effects and stylish transitions. Loved the vector grid; and the sinus scroll was fun. Highlight for me was the moon with logo, and that little house on top of the hill looks so cute. Never seen something like that scramble upscroller before. Goed gedaan, jongens!

Looking at this demo today, I can still remember Spectator telling me I would regret not contributing a bit more to this demo...

I knew I would back then and today, indeed, I still regret it very, VERY much.

Starting somewhere early 1999, it was a messed up time for me: loosing my longtime girlfriend, which kind of destroyed my world back then. Nothing mattered anymore.

As compensation, I thought driving expensive cars and going to too many parties with my friends was going to cure my loss. It didn't.

Additionally, that time pretty much killed my scene-spirit for many years to come.

Just proud the guys pulled out a wonderful demo back then!!

Even without my support... ;-)

rewatched this one today. Oxbow should be noted for doing some gr8 logos in here. And i laughed out load when i read the upscrambler saying 'almost no support: sounx, no support: thundax'.

all in all a very very nice demo.

this demo kicks ass. deserves a place in everybody's diskbox.

I really like the part where the moon lets the XEN logo reflect in the water... would have been even cooler if water ripples were simulated with tech-tech, but I don't know if that would have been easy to do.

the upscrambler is one of the most brilliant ideas for a scroller since the DYCP. kudos.

excellent demo, the transition between the parts are seemless also, the various draw-in effects etc. the whole thing is very well put together. =)

Very good 'Storyline' in the beginning with break-less changes between the parts. Gooood msx and very fine fx! And I love the 'Turn Disk' parts so much ;)

Quite nice, some of the effects I had never seen before (the one in the screenshot). And some were rather innovative variations. Graphics weren't too top notch, but okay like the music.
