Welcome to the reviews-section of Top
Secret. We will start by reviewing
some of the dem that have been released
lately. We have seen some very
impressive demos these past months. So
read on, to see what the creators of
Top Secret think about the demos
released.
²MOBILE - DESTINATION UNKNOWN BY
SPACEBALLS:¹
³----------------------------------------¹
One man..One routine. Can you say in
another way ? Lone Starr once again
shows us his incridible vector-routine.
Unfortunately for him and Spaceballs,
it was not enough,this time, to win the
demo-competition. But the demo is
still quite good. The vector-routine
is just so impressive, because of the
speed. There is not a lot of the
design in the demo, but the chosen
colors and the few switches between
screen are well-choosen. Also the
music by Audiomonster is giving the
demo a little lift. The main-problem
with this demo is the short time it
last. A few minutes longer and with a
bit more originality, this demo would
have been extremely good. Now it's
just good !
All in All:³¢80/100¢¹
²INTERFERENCE BY SANITY¹
³---------------------------------------¹
Sanity has lost some members lately.
But with this one-part demo the show us
that the are still able to create
fantastic demos. Cosmos and Microforce
give us some very good and extremely
fast routines, which might have been
seen before, but never in the same
quality. The music fits the demo very
good and gives it a lot of atmosphere.
The graphics by Cougar and Havok speaks
for itself and last, but certainly not
least, it seems like Sanity has
overcomed their problems with the
design. This is a great demo, maybe
the best one-part demo ever released.
Way to go Sanity !
All in All: ³¢93/100¢¹
²DESERT DREAM BY KEFRENS¹
³---------------------------------------¹
Kefrens won another demo-competition.
And nobody can doubt why the won after
seeing this demo. It's so good. After
the Melon-Story, which is not that
impressive, the demo continues with
nice effects (I like the sawyer effect
so much.) and a smashing design. The
music is made perfectly for fitting the
routines and design, which makes the
demo even better. There is only a few
bad things to be said about the demo.
They should have choosen to include
less black backgrounds and some of the
routines on disk #2, like the bars and
the first scroll, should have been left
out. But all in all this demo is
stunning. A few changes and it could
have become a classic.
All in All: ³¢94/100¢¹
²MAXIMA BY SCOOPEX FRANCE¹
³---------------------------------------¹
Finally a new productions from Scoopex.
Scoopex is one of the groups that you
always expect some great from.
Unfortunately they have had
difficulties to fullfill our
expectations, and this demo certainly
doesn't help on that image. It's a
dentro with nothing new at all. The
routines are all seen before, the
design is normal and the musicis
nothing special. The only positive
thing is the little decrunching
animation, which is quite sweet. But
the demo is generally not very good and
I simply cannot understand how they
have been able to create such an ugly
bonus-part. A big disappointment !
All in All: ³¢45/100¢¹
²TERMINAL FUCKUP BY SANITY¹
³---------------------------------------¹
Another part of the fuckup serie by
Sanity. And in contrast to Scoopex,
Sanity don't disappoint us. The have
improved their design dramatically and
Tron has done a good job with the code.
And then there is the music. It's
fantastic ! The best tune Jester has
ever made, in my opinion. The demo is
in excess of being fast and
well-designed also very aggressive. A
new style from Sanity. Read the texts
and you will either like the style or
not. But wheter you like the
aggressive style or not, the demo
speaks for itself.
All in All: ³¢83/100¢¹
²SPEED BY SIM PRODUCTIONS¹
³---------------------------------------¹
A new kind of demos are born. This
demo offers the amiga in a new
pespective. Gone are the normal
routines. Instead we get four disks
filled with animations. A what kind of
animations ! Is like a great
music-video. Despite the fact that the
music in this production, easily could
have been better. But the idea behind
this demo is great and so are the
animations. It's nice to see something
different and Sim Productions deserve a
lot of credits for their attempt. This
is a demo that has to be seen, atleast
once.
All in All: ³¢85/100¢¹
Okay, we are through the demo-reviews.
Next time we will start a new kind of
¹reviews, by inviting a famous guy to
review the released productions.
