¢ INTRO REVIEWS
¹
Michael from Nuance here again with a
brand new article for people who are
intrested in reading the latest
reviews on intros. Now before I go
on I'm not going to judge anyone work
by there capablity on what they can
and cant do, But instead I will be
looking at your work from how well
you have used the capablity of the
amiga. Now all reviews are marked in
as a percent (e.g 100% = real cool 1%
= Rubbish) now today I have decided
to review 8 intros from various crews
and give my own verdict upon each of
them. Bluebird (sorry) I mean
Colorbird has asked me politelu to do
another article with reviewing
intros, etc.. and here it is.
¼
Now the intros that I have reviewed
are as follows:
³1. Xtc - Intro
2. Balance - AGA 22k Intro
3. Analog - New member Intro
4. Analog - Still Alive Intro
5. Impact - No-lem Intro
6. Nebula - Intro
7. Psycho - Chip Tunes Music Pack
8. Nuance - For Your Pleasure
¹So lets begin with the first review!

This intro was done by a bunch of
Australian guys and by all means this
is the worse intro I have come
across. The text font is so badly
colored in, I even couldnt read what
they were going on about. The Music
is rubbish even though it came from a
known game (Projex X). Well I hope
these guys can come up with a better
design
¢ Balance Aga 22k Intro
² =====================

¼ Music 81%
¢ Overall 85%
¹Balance has produced a nice litle aga
demo here. Everything in this intro
moves so well and smooth as well
(Thanx to Scope). There isnt much in
the way of gfx but the font was
created very neatly and the music
goes with with the demo very well.
Anyhow my verdict is to catch it and
pack it right away!
¶¢ Analog New Member Intro
² =======================
¾ Presentation 51%
½ Graphics 47%
¼ Music 57%
¢ Overall 59%¹
This new member intro was sent to me
from a U.K modem trader and I must
say that I was looking for somethink
fancy but unfortunatly I was wrong.
The music and gfx are just standard
and the code is just ok. Analog can
do better and I know they can. If
you havent seen this intro then your
not missing anything.
¢ Analog Still Alive Intro
² ========================
¾ Presentation 79%
½ Graphics 81%
¼ Music 43%
¢ overall 84%¹
Analog Strikes back again but this
time they have produced a nice intro
in which I'm happy to say that I was
pleased to see. The gfx are good and
the font is quite nice too The music
was a bit banal but never the less
the logo was very nice and all fxs in
the demo worked very well what else
can I say than well done!
¶¢ Impact no-Lem Intro
² ===================
¾ Presentation 81%
½ Graphics 80%
¼ Music 92%

Yet another intro comes to the rescue
but this time by impact. This intro
is well put together very cool. The
Gfx are cool and the music by unison
is really a great track (I like it
Man) and all the fx in the demo are
put together very well, But the only
problem was that it was to short but
overall its a great intro.
¢ Nebula Intro
² ============
¾ Presetation 61%
½ Graphics 40%
¼ Music 47%
¢ Overall 56%¹
After reading Oedipus/Nebula article
in grapevine issue 17 I was expecting
some quality release from nebula.
This intro that they have released is
just a average intro. The gfx are
are ok but the music starts off very
badly composed (it sounded like the
musician forgot to use the fine
tuning on the piano sample). But
when the Music gets going it didnt
sound to bad at all. Not a bad
attempt for there first production
¶but not so good either. I also find
this product a bit strange because
when it reached the end of the demo
there was no demo, I was looking for
more routines after the glez vector
has appeared. Ive got to admit that
this intro isnt to bad for a new
group but why has the coder left the
group already for??. The group was
founded in october and in the same
month the coder of this intro has
left the crew??. Lets see how they
go.
¢ Psycho chip Tunes compact

Chip Pack are being produced quite
frequently these days and by all
means I dont see why not. Anyhow
everthing is loaded in to ram and
once everything has been loaded in
there is no more loading. The gfx
and design are well good and the chip
music are very neat indeed. Psycho
went for a simple but very effective
design and it payed off well. Most
Chip pack ive seen are quite nice but
psycho has gone for the simple design
which makes this product a highly
¶recommended chip pack someone sent me
a chip pack and chip tune had to be
loaded in seperate (Why?). Anyway
its well done to the boys at psycho
for their chip pack. Good luck with
the next issue!
¢ Nuance For your pleasure

I'm not going to be bias and give
excellent reviews to my own crew.
I'm gonna be fair to every crew. The
gfx are average and the code isnt to
bad either. The intro starts off
with a nice introduction sequence and
the text writer fading is really sexy
indeed. The Music by Michael And
Projex isnt to bad either but the
background could of been done miles
better if the coder did spend a bit
more time designing his intro. But
overall its not to bad and there are
many intros that are worse off. Not
a bad attempt for a days coding
though...
