THE TITLE OF THIS DEMO IS      >>> VINDICATION <<<                       WHY IS IT VINDICATION?                     IT IS PROOF TO THOSE DOUBTERS WHO SUFFERED THE DELUSION THAT I COULDN'T DO MUCH. THIS IS A START.      BY NOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE PICKING AT THE GLICH IN MY SKULL EQUALIZERS. UNFORTUNATELY I'M OUT OF RASTER TIME.  OH  HERE'S SOME HELP -> THE CURSOR KEYS CONTROL DIRECTION AND SPEED. A HANDY LITTLE FUNCTION.              ALL GRAPHICS, ALL CODING BY ARTTEC (ME!)      THE BRILLIANT TUNE WAS WRITTEN BY MY GOOD FRIEND IN MELBOURNE ACCOUSTIC CREATIONS.        I'LL GIVE YOU SOME STATS ON THE DEMO.  THE SOURCE CODE IS 36K    FINAL ASSEMBLED VERSION 385K !!!      THE MUSIC  180K. THE DEMO TOOK ABOUT A MONTH TO WRITE. IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO FIT ALL OF THAT PLUS SOURCE CODE INTO CHIP RAM AT ONCE. THE SIZE OF THE SOUND MODULE HAD A LOT TO WITH IT. (THANKS ACCOUSTIC CREATIONS...) SOUND MEN JUST LOVE THOSE BIG SAMPLES THAT MAKE A CODER'S LIFE HELL.          NOW...  UM...  WHAT TO SAY?        I'M FEELING TIRED AS IT IS CURRENTLY 4:40 AM  SAT 6/10/90.    YES, I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY (IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU'LL KNOW THAT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE TRUE) ABOUT TONIGHT, MY PLACE, AND MYSELF.    ONCE A WEEK THE BEST CODERS IN BRISBANE CONVERG ON MY FLAT AND LEAVE IT IN COMPLETE DISARAY - MIND YOU IT WAS A PIGSTY BEFORE THEY ARRIVED ANYWAY. I LIVE IN A FLAT WITH HITMAN OF CODE HQ  AND AN IBM USER. (HE DOESN'T DESERVE A MENTION. NO THE TRUTH IS I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS HACKING NAME.      ANYWAY, OUR FLAT NEVER HALTS TO SLEEP. IT'S OPEN TILL ALL HOURS WITH US MADDLY CODING AWAY. BUT ON THE WEEKENDS EVERYONE ELSE, OR RATHER THOSE WHO BOTHER TO SHOW ARRIVE SET UP AND USUALLY MAKE SWAT ALL PROGRESS. OFTEN MUCH OF THE TIME IS SPENT TALKING AND MUCKING ABOUT. ALTHOUGH THESE NIGHTS DO PRODUCE SOME RESULTS OTHER THAN TIREDNESS, THIS DEMO BEING ONE.                    EXCITING THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING HERE IN BRISBANE WITH FOUR NEW DEMOS BEING RELEASED. THEY ALL SHOULD HOPEFULLY ACCOMPANYING THIS DEMO ON THE SAME DISK.      LAZARUS BY BARBARIANS          POWER DEMO BY PRISM       RINCEWIND BY RINCEWIND        AND VINDICATION BY ][]             O.K. SINCE I'M TALKING OF FRIENDS HERE'S THE GREETS:            PROTOCOL          HITMAN           ACCOUSTIC CREATIONS        PC HACKER            HARD RESET            CONAN            STARCAT          ROBOCOP             DRUID            RINCEWIND.

IN FACT IT IS PROBABLY ON THE SAME DISK AS THIS DEMO (MAYBE IT ISN'T AS I AM A VERY BUSY PERSON !!) ANYWAY A BIT ABOUT MY DEMO. IT IS GREAT. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY. I HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH RASTER TIME - MEANING I NEVER HAD ANY LEFT. THIS PROBABLY DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO LAMERS, BUT IT IS THE BANE OF THE CODERS LIFE. IT IS THE THORN IN THE SIDE, THE MONKEY ON THE SHOULDER, THE ........... I MIGHT DO A SMALL GREETING OF MY OWN. GREETINGS TO: ARTTEC (BLOODY NICE DEMO DUDE !), BARBARIANS (I ENJOYED PLAYING AROUND WITH YOUR LAZARUS DEMO !), HITMAN (SO YOU WANT TO FUCK KYLIE MINOGUE!), PROTOCOL (GET THE JESTERS RIPPED INTRO OFF YOUR DEMO DISK AND IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT !), PC HACKER (HELLO I GUESS !!), AND FINALLY ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF PRISM. I MIGHT GO NOW, BUT NOT BEFORE I ASK A JOKE. Q - WHY DID THE AMIGA CROSS THE ROAD ? A - TO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE JESTERS AND CATACLYSM !!! BYE BYE DUDES ....

PROTOCOL SITS NEXT TO ME DOING A BODGE COPPERLIST WHILST ARTTEC THROWS UP IN OUR ONLY CLEAN SAUCEPAN.  I'VE TOLD HIM ABOUT THAT BEFORE.  NOW DAVID IS SAYING 'NOBODY WANTED THIS DID THEY?'  HEY PROTOCOL ARTTEC'S CAT IS DROPPING A SHIT IN YOUR BAG AGAIN, I HOPE IT DOESN'T GET ON ANY OF THOSE DISKS I LEANT YOU!  ARTTEC PLEASE SWITCH THAT COUNTRY MUSIC OFF.  I WOULD PREFER TO BE TYPING THIS ON MY NEW TOY - AN IBM!!  BUT I CAN'T BE BOTHERED SENDING IT ACROSS BY NULL MODEM            <<PROTOCOL JUST GURU'D, IT THOUGHT I'D TELL YOU THAT >>          I THINK THAT I'M GOING TO BE TREATED AS A LEPER OVER THAT IBM, THE IBM DUDES WON'T TALK TO ME BECAUSE I OWN AN AMIGA AND AMIGA DUDES WON'T TALK TO ME BECAUSE I OWN AN IBM.  ARTTEC IS EXPLAINING HIS BAD HABITS TO US ALL...  I DON'T THINK I WANT KNOW ANY MORE.  WAIT I WANT SOME COKE MY CAFFEINE LEVEL IS GETTING LOW AND I'VE GOT A HEADACHE - AAHHH GEE THAT'S BETTER. ARTTEC, PROTOCOL AND I WENT ON THE BOOZE AT BUZZ BAR LAST NIGHT - I'M NEVER DRINKING STRAIGHT SOUTHERN COMFORT AGAIN! PROTOCOL IS COMPLAINING THAT SEKA DOESN'T HAVE A SPELLING CHECKER.  BY THE WAY, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, SEKA RULES AND DEVPAC SUX (YEAH SHAUN).  8.00PM - HURRY UP RAGE! (MTV GET OFF THE AIR)  I WAS COMING UP THE STAIRS TO OUR HOUSE TODAY AND HEARD THE PHONE RINGING SO I RUSHED UP THE STAIRS TO ANSWER IT BUT THEN REALIZED THAT IT ISN'T EVEN CONNECTED.  SHIT I FELT LIKE A DICKHEAD.  HANG ON WHILE I BUBYFU (BACK UP BEFORE YOU FUCK UP) - MY AMIGA HAS A RAM PROBLEM, POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM, INTERNAL DRIVE FUCKUP PROBLEM, COCKROACH PROBLEM, BURN PROBLEM (I SET IT ON FIRE ONCE), RED WINE PROBLEM (I SPILT RED WINE ON IT ONCE), AND A MANGLED COCKROACH WITH IT'S LEGS CAUGHT UP IN THE PINS TO MY 68000.  MY AMIGA THEREFORERANDOMLY GURUS FREQUENTLY.  (AND A USER PROBLEM - ARTTEC)        HITMAN AGAIN AND I'M NOT IMPRESSED WITH THAT LAST PROBLEM.             HERE IS THE PROTOCOL SCROLLTEXT.                            GREETINGS ALL, THIS IS PROTOCOL HERE. WELL I THINK THAT THIS DEMO CONTAINS SOME MEGA-HOT ROUTINES.  I THINK ITS A GOOD TIME TO TELL A FEW OF THE JOKES THAT I HAVE RECENTLY READ FROM THE VARIOUS BBS AROUND.                                   Q. WHAT IS MASHED POTATO?                                A. GOBBLEDOC SHIT                                        Q. WHAT IS BLUETAC?                                      A. SMURF SHIT.                                           Q. WHAT DID THE VAMPIRE SAY TO THE TEACHER?              A. SEE YOU NEXT PERIOD.                                  Q. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF PAIN?                       A. A ONE LEGGED MAN IN AN ARSE KICKING COMPETITION.      O.K THEN, I THINK THAT IS ENOUGH JOKES FOR TODAY?        WE ARE CURRENTLY LISTENING TO R.E.M (GREEN) ALBUM. QUITE GOOD MUSIC IF I MAY SAY SO MYSELF. I AM NOW LOOKING AT SOME OF THE TAPES THAT HITMAN OWNS. DEAD KENNEDYS LOOKS ALRIGHT WITH SONGS LIKE: NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF, RELIGIOUS VOMIT, TOO DRUNK TO FUCK, KINKY SEX MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND, HARD ONS: YUPPIES SUCK, NERDS, EVERYTIME I DO A FART (RUNNY FARTS SMELL THE BEST - PART OF THE LRYICS) IF YOU HAVENT HEARD ANY OF THESE SONGS YOU DONT KNOW WHATYOU ARE MISSING OUT ON. O.K NOW I WILL GIVE SOME PERSONAL FUCKINGS TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE: HEAT (DE-CRUNCHING AND RESOURCING MY DEMO WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA. ANY LAMER CAN GET AROUND ADDRESS CRUNCHERS LIKE DEFJAM, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT. ONLY LAMERS 'CRACK' OTHER PEOPLES DEMOS!              QUICK MESSAGE TO DR.CATACLYSM. PLEASE DON'T FILEZAP GRAPHIC_SEARCHER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!              SKELETON CREW ARE TOO SKINNY. AND THEY ARE ALSO A BUNCH OF LAMERS. PUTTING YOUR INTROS IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLES DEMOS IS NOT TOO GOOD. ESPECAILLY TO THE RED-SECTOR DEMO CEBIT. DONT DO IT DICKCHEESE.                                    AND ALSO FUCKINGS TO ACU AND MYSTIX - WHY? WELL I DON'T KNOW. JUST SOUNDS GOOD!                             QUOTE OF THE NIGHT: HARDONS HAVE NOSES LIKE JEWS - AS SAID BY HITMAN. HITMAN IS NOW PLAYING WITH HARDONS. THAT SOUNDS A BIT SUSPCIOUS DOESNT IT? JUST LOOKING AT HITMANS MONITOR YOU SEE HAN SOLO AND STORMTROOPERS (STAR-WARS FIGURES) DOLLS HAVING AN ORGY. THERE IS ALSO A COCKAROCH UP THE ARSE OF R2D2. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!                          COBOL PROGRAMMERS RULE. DO THEY? WELL I THINK SO. VAX/VMS COBOL IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO. (HITMAN HERE - NETWORKS RULE! FUCK OFF MAINFRAMES!). HITMAN THINKS THAT C IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE TO PROGRAM. WE WILL SEE. IBM LAPTOPS (AND PORTABLES) RULE THIS EARTH! ALTHOUGH THEY ARE STILL NOT AS GOOD AS AMIGAS. QUICK JOKE: WHY DID THE COMPUTER CROSS THE ROAD?                             BECAUSE THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMED IT.   HA HA HA                   THIS IS THE END MY ONLY FRIEND THE END!

IT IS A PIECE OF BRILLIANT CODING DONE BY STARCAT & ME               WELL ITS BRILLIANT FOR US ANYWAY SINCE WE HAVEN'T BEEN CODING TOO LONG ON THE 68000.
