Available
for your viewing pleasure, intros by White Shadow. These
'hacks' contain some of the purest technical tricks to push the
IBM-PC to its limits. Well, maybe back in the day when they were
made to run at frame-rate on a 286. With the brute-force
available in a Pentium and above, the same results can be had using
any lame routine in any language, even COBOL. (: But as the tradition
of demo coding has changed from hacking the hardware for doing things
it shouldn't to full movie-productions, these demos remain true
to the old C64 and Atari-ST scene of demo-making. In that sense,
these demos deserve more credit than they probably get. True hardware
hacking like this isn't easy to come by. We have no idea what White
Shadow's up to nowadays, but he's still our friend. (:
Note:As the speed of today's computers have increased drastically
since these were made, you may need to reduce the speed of your
computer for the demos to run properly. Try hitting the Turbo
button if your computer has one, or do a little web-surfing for
a program called MoSlo. Don't expect them to run under ANY version
of Windows. |
