ARE_YOU1 is part one of two of the "Are You Experienced?" graphics and
sound demo ("brilliant" or so the internet description said) for the
Falcon.  By the Demo crew Eko from France, this demo requires four
megs to run (I don't know about the monitor).  According to Mark Smith
([e-mail]), who wrote the below description, this demo:  starts
with a nice space battle with light sourced polygons flying around and
some very funky guitar music in the background. It then moves on to
demonstrate EKO's new Z-buffering techniques, where polygons smoothly
glide through each other and their interesections are calculated.  The
music then changes to a more dance style piece of music and stage two
of the demo. Here we get a nice melting effect of the background as it
moves looking like flames, then out of the background zooms a texture
mapped, lightsourced cube that rotates smoothly, this disappears and
we are treated to the best looking fly over a fractal landscape <he's>
ever seen on the Falcon, it looks as if it has been goraud shaded and
is very smooth.  The music changes once again for the end credits,
this time the music is a nice orchestral piece with a lovely piece of
piano playing over the top.  This music is very well composed for a
computer piece. Also included in this file is the SPLITTER program
you must use to recombine the files. Then you will need a utility to
uncompress a ZIP file (I suggest DCX22B or DCX220C or STZIP26, all in
the UTILITYS category). You must order ARE_YOU2 for the complete file.
This is a $4 disk since it fills a 720K disk (and more, really).
