Text: | ONCE UPON A TIME............. I COULDN´T THINK OF ANYTHING TO DO. THEREFOR I TOOK A LOOK IN ONE OF MY DISKETTE-BOXES AND AT ONCE I SAW AN OLD DISK. I PLAYED THE GAME FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I LIKED THE HIRES-SCREEN I SAW DURING THE RUNNING OF THE LOAD-ROUTINE. I OBSERVED IT FROM VARIOUS ANGLES AND I DECIDED TO WRITE A LITTLE DEMO AROUND IT. THAT DEMO IS WHAT YOU´RE SEEING NOW. I´M SURE YOU RECOGNIZE THE MUSIC. THIS DEMO HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY ME. I´M A PROUD MEMBER OF T H E U N I V E R S A L C R A C K I N G C R E W.

THE EXACT TIME THAT THIS DEMO HAS BEEN RELEASED IS: DECEMBER 30TH OF 1986 AT 10:27:12 PM. I MADE THIS DEMO IN 2 HOURS,11 MINUTES. TYPING IN ALL THE TEXT WITHOUT MISTAKES (WHICH IS REAL SHIT WORK !) TOOK ME 1 HOUR, 43 MINUTES (INCLUDING TEXT-DEBUGGING) FROM THE 2 HOURS,11 MINUTES. DO YOU KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME MAC, FRANKIE AND AKO ARE MAKING DEMO´S ? MAC IS ALSO WORKING ON A SUPERB-MACHINE-CODE-FULL-WITH-ACTION-AND-GRAPIC EFFECTS-TWO-PLAYER-ARCADE-GAME. BEFORE I´M GOING TO GREET EVERYBODY I´M GOING TO MAKE SEVERAL RANDOM REMARKS: - 1).

WILL LAUNCH A DISK WHICH CONTAINS VERY NICE SOUNDTRACKS FROM DIFFERENT PROGRAMS LIKE EREBUS, SANCTION, WARHAWK, GREEN BERET, 1942 AND MUCH MORE -3).
