One of these lame demos? Kinda, but it's fucking great one! Very optimistic and patriotic - speccy kixxorz! But we all know it already... Basically it features a funny story which I will not reveal there - see yourself, almost no code, primitive graphics and awesome music (by Mast/Freeart - one of his best musics IMHO, too bad he left the scene lately). I have to say, this demo is perfect as it is. It couldn't be better if the graphics were nicer or something, it carries the message perfectly and somehow seeing 1991 on the screen and this soviet-type building and dude playing football a nostalgic tear felt on the keyboard ;) Aye, this rocks, as well as ZX Spectrum dude was getting after. Done by users, done by lamers. Yeah just keep on doing it!

Score: 90%

Deep

Oh well. Writing about this one I can't really think of anything worth to mention. Just one word - chunks. Slow effects, lame english trying to blabber something about death and aggressive music (plus cheesy tune in epilogue). There is also some graphics featured, one b/w picture which pops inbetween effects and quickly fades away before you manage to say: "shit!". And that's about it. Diskfiller though, new ware for the hungry ones, but nothing more - check it out and forget...

Score: 23%

Breath of Death

This one starts with some fast chunks which I suspect to be animation and then credits are shown. Well, quite nice graphically, just hope this wasn't converted from PC. The picture with demo title has some impressive colors with not much of flickering, though content isn't as great. The rest? Terrible music you can laugh about for hours if you wasn't bored by this kind of modules already... The colorful effects looks pathetic, plasmas?!?

Argh hahaahah well there are definitely also better effects, some multicolor stuff and such, but none of them looks good.

There is one picture also, maybe not a masterpiece but damn, it looks like it is pixeled not converted - wow a pixeled hires picture! Pity, seems like makers of this demo did put quite some effort in but the result is shit.

Score: 34%
