I - Opening words
You're reading the documentation of the first upgrade for
the NADD ('New Age Demo Database'). If you don't have the
NADD version 1.0 please skip reading and get this version
first. Of course you could use the upgrade without the
old NADD but the aim should be a big NADD with a large
collection of demo reviews.
We got some good response after releasing our first version.
DemoNews said 'GET IT!' and we absolutely agreed to this !
After two hard months of reviewing another 69 demos we are
really happy to release this upgrade number 1.
But what's new in this upgrade ?
1) The DDB.EXE is new. We had to fix some strange bugs and
the picture loader has been improved.
2) 69 new demo reviews included, the text of 2 demos has
been changed.
3) We included a stand-alone update viewer, so you can
browse through the new reviews without having the first
NADD version.
4) A great documentation file...
II - How to do the upgrade ?
First you'll have to unzip the NADD_U01.ZIP to your DDB-
directory. You may overwrite the FILE_ID.DIZ.
The package should contain the following files:
FILE_ID.DIZ 718 Bytes 01-25-95
UPDATE01.EXE 1.518.090 Bytes 01-25-95
UPDATE01.DOC 11.500 Bytes 01-25-95
Make sure, that you have enough free disk space before
upgrading (about 3 MB are required).
All updates are in UPDATE01.EXE. Simply start it from the com-
mandline. If you don't have the 'NADD' Version 1.0 you can
watch our reviews separately. Select (1) in the main menu. Using
our 'Upgrade Viewer' is very similar to using the DDB.EXE. You
can reach the main menu by clicking right mouse button.
If you want to upgrade your local MAIN.DDB you have to choose
(2). You will be asked for backuping the old MAIN.DDB. It is
always safer to keep a backup !
III - Equipment
Our equipment has changed slightly. Machine [3] has been sold
$:-), but we didn't review very much demos on [3] and so this
has no consequence for former reviews. Sorry we have still no
GUS, but there is a chance of about 90% that we get one until
next update.
IV - When to contact New Age
In the last few weeks we noticed that some demo-related CD-ROMs
came out. Fortunately we were able to get one of these 'Escape'
CDs. But we still need the 'Assembly 1994' and other demo-rela-
ted CD-ROMs. Please tell where to get them or sell your CD, we
will pay a good price !
We are still looking for screenshots taken from some protected-
mode demos (like 'Crystal Dream 2','Holistic' or 'Optic Nerve').
If you have some pictures of these demos please send them to us.
ALL demo-related informations are welcome, too ! We are very
interested in party-results or secret cheats for a demo. You
may send us your latest demo so that we are able to review it
for next upgrade. And please let us know if you have found bugs
in the program or in our reviews.
Please help us to keep the NADD alive !
V - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Question: Why do you add a '+' after the required processor
sometimes ?
Answer: The '+' indicates that this demo runs on the required
processor but we highly recommend a faster machine.
Question: When will further versions be released ?
Answer: Around April 1995 our next upgrade kit will be out
(no promise :). We will include new demo reviews and the DDB
will get some useful improvements !
Question: Where to get good demos ?
Answer: Getting demos should be no problem with Internet access.
You can ftp the demo-site 'HORNET' at FTP.ENG.UFL.EDU.
There are some good demo-oriented BBSes around. Here are some
of the best boards in Central Europe:
Genesis BBS +32 (0)2 245 3498
Golden Image +49 (0)6039 46 124
Pointbreak +32 (0)11 436 925
Sorry if your board is not listed above but we had no time
checking out more BBSes :).
