This is the first of many quality demos from Reinca. Watch out for Megademo II sometime in October.
Firstly, a word of explanation. I originally finished this demo in April 1991, and sent it off to Sandra Sharkey at the Amos PD library. The time came for the Summer Update, and the disc arrived back---it wouldn`t load!! (One of the files was too close to the bootblock). So I decided to wait for the compiler. Two weeks passed, and I bought the compiler. Arriving home, If ound the Amiga was dead!! (I am using a friends computer to do this). Then followed five weeks of waiting, got it back, and it was still dead! So we`re sending it off to WTS today (Wednesday, August 21 (I think)). So it`s finally finished!
Apologies to Sandra, but there wasn`t enough space on the disk for the source code. If you want it, phone me on 081-647-0534, and I`ll give you my address. Send an SAE, with a blank disc, and 1 pound for costs(!). The turnaround should be around a week.
Hey out there!! If you are a budding musician, coder, or grafix artist, please contact me. At the moment there`s only me and Deuteron in the crew, and we have to rip music!!
A word about our setups. Deuteron has a 1 Meg Amiga, and Dpaint III. I have a 2 Meg Amiga, second disk drive, Action Replay II, Joystick switcher (And no, I am not a millionaire!!). I got most of the stuff at shows, `cos the`re cheap.
About the demo
--------------
There are six parts, so complain if one is missing. They are as follows:
1) Intro, press a key to exit at the end
2) Infinite bobs, Left mouse button
3) Massive Scrolly Text, LMB to exit.
4) Bobs `n Sprites, read the instructions
5) Bouncing ball (Rips off Curos+Stavros), LMB to exit
6) Credits, LMB to exit.
ALso on the disk is MuchMore_PP (Thanx Amiga Computing) and associated docs.
This demo is Public Domain, and may be spread freely. If you are feeling generous then you can send me some dosh for all my hard work (you may get a letter back with some programming secrets in it!) (A few quid should do!)
I am not responsible for any damage to computers, disks etc. through use of this demo.
Look out for Megademo II, and happy coding.

PS Please, please, please review this in Amiga Shopper, Phil South!.
PS This demo is rather old, so some remarks (eg. Unlimited Bobs, may be inaccurate). Its only a demo of my abilities, Megademo II will be much better.
