GR-01: Graphics Displays, Pictures
The following MegaDisk sets ($6.99 for each multi-disk set) contain primarily
640x480x256 color GIF files, arranged by category. "Glamour" disks are
R-rated (very tasteful). To view the files, you will need a GIF file viewer,
such as CompuShow (#1704). The same files in BMP format (for use with Windows
3) are available in the Windows section of PsL.

#27038/0508 EGA Demos #1 Small Programs Disk
------------------------
All programs on this disk require EGA video.
Anagly
Schreiber Instruments
$0
is a 3D graphics display program. It requires EGA-compatible video and common
3D viewing glasses (left eye red, right eye blue. Glasses are available from
Schreiber for a low cost.) The 3D image files are simple text files
containing x-y-z triplets which you can generate in addition to the demo
files.
Art
is an EGA demo
BugFry
G. McPhail
$0
is the best Computer Full-Employment program we've seen since EGA-Aquarium.
For those who find fish-watching too tame, you should love this computer
simulation of an electronic bug zapper. It's just the thing to put on your
computer when your backyard barbecue gets rained out.
Cos-Eye
is an EGA demo that requires BASICA 3.2.
KC-DEMO
draws world map, nude, Captain Kirk, boxes.
Mona
is an outstanding full-color version of the Mona Lisa.
Victor V286 Power Demo (POWER)
Knee Toe Productions
$0
is a graphics display demo for 286 machines with EGA-compatible video. It has
motion, color and sound.
Rolex
is the ultimate PC-as-a-clock program. On an EGA monitor (sorry, doesn't
work with others), it displays a beautiful picture of a Rolex(tm) watch
displaying the current time. A second hand sweeps across the face of the watch
and the watch's date display tells you the date.
Roses
is an EGA demo.
SGlass
Schafts, Debbie and Schafts, George
$0
produces a stained glass-like effect on the screen. EGA required. MS QuickC
source is included.

#27038/0765 EGA Demos #2 Small Programs Disk
------------------------
Boxes
draws boxes.
EGADemo
is a demo of EGA graphics.
EGAKal
McClendon, Judson D.
$0
is a kalediscope display for the EGA.
EGAMagic
Raxsoft Development
$0
is a demo for EGA monitors that demonstrates the use of dithering to get even
more colors and interesting patterns.
GodsEye
Campbell, George
$0
draws a colorful pattern similar to the "god's eye" fabric weaving pattern
popular with the 60's hippies as well as with old Latin America.
Instant Paradise (INSTPAR)
Salgado, J. Raphael B.
$10
puts you on the beach of a beautiful tropical island. As you sit at your desk,
staring at the computer screen, do you ever daydream about being in a remote
tropical paradise? Fire up Instant Paradise and watch the waves come in, the
fish jump out of the water, a sailboat maneuvering with a seagull overhead while
clouds drift lazily by. As the sun sets and the moon comes out colors change to
twilight, nighttime, dawn, and back to daylight. EGA is required. Other nifty
demos already in the PsL by the same (16 year old) author are AQUARIUM for the
CGA, and AQUAEGA - two great fish tank simulators.
Kaledis 3.1
McClendon, Judson D.
$0
is an EGA/VGA Kaleidoscope program. `C' source included.
LCDclock 1.1 (LCDCLOK)
Hartz, George
$5
is a beautifully done digital alarm clock for EGA systems. The clock looks just
like the one sitting on your night stand. Although the main attraction of the
program is its accurate rendition of a real clock, you can load it into a
DESQview window on a 386 (graphics programs cannot run in the background in DV
on a 286) and use its alarm to wake you up at 5 pm to go home.
Mind
is the ultimate EGA mindless pattern-drawing demo.
Polygon 1.0
Dukarich, Gary
$0
will display a triangle, quadrangle, pentagon, and hexagon in 3-D motion. For
EGA and VGA only.
Rax
Raxsoft Development
$?
is a demo of dithering and 3-D rotation for an EGA. Most impressive on a very
fast CPU machine.
Splat
is a cute little EGA demo that gives the appearance of different color
paint drops falling onto and running down the monitor. Clever and colorful.
TeaPot
Berkes, Otto
$?
is a 3-D image rotation demo for the EGA. Although a teapot seems like an odd
image to use (most people use cubes or such), it does make the demo more
interesting than the usual run of the mill.

FishBee
VGA Graphics
$0
is a great animated graphics display. We don't want to say too much that would
spoil the suprises, but the main characters are a goldfish and a bee and
anyone with a color VGA monitor is going to love this. Incidentally, the
little music file that comes with it has the best music sounds we have ever
heard on a PC's speaker.
Grafix

If you have a VGA, you will want to see this.

type displays. There are four different patterns to choose from.

different lines i
