ANDROMEDA      "Mind Riot"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code : Dr.Jekyll, Mr.Hyde
Music: Mr.Man
GFX  : Duel, Faifax, The Main

I got this piece long time ago on a DAI pack. As I saw it the first time I was
wondering why this excellent production is only on a pck with other lame stuff.
This demonstration is full Amiga-DOS compatible (it`s fine to put it on the HD
to load it faster...) and fits to every configuration. Well, you must have at
least 1 MB memory. Mind Riot is, as far as I can judge, totally bugfree.
It has an absolutely good design. The well-made music isn`t only composed to
show the musicians skill, it really fits to the demo (especially on the begin-
ning). One great interlace picture was done by Fairfax (the decrunch pic),all
others have been drawn by Duel (the fonts,too). The demo starts (after the 
normal presentation) with a 5 bitplanes lightsourced vector. It looks very im-
pressive and perfect designed. The next part shows you 6 realtime circles. In
my eyes this is the worst part because it looks a bit unprofessional. But the
next thing is cool again. Coming up are transforming laserlines and light-
sourced twistwires in High Resolution. BTW: Most parts are presented in HRes.
Now the maybe best part is following.It is a superb raytraicing by The Main in
HAM. Next there is a Tunnelbox which looks also great but after tis the demo
ends. Mind Riot is rather short but I fell convinced that is is better to code
a short but good demo instead of producing a mega long lamtro.

ISCH CREW     "The Gallery"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code  : Rapper
Music : Lord
GFX   : Bart

This is the first production of the ISCH CREW. This slideshow contains 19 pics
all drawn by Bart.Like most slideshows, The Gallery has an autoshow mode, too.
But the picture is not shown for a fixed time, you can go on to the next just
by using your rat.
Many pictures are not very large,in fact three or foor look more like clip art 
than a pic in a slideshow.The quality is also not very good. The pictures which 
are worth to mention are Bonanza Dream,Asterix, For Rapper and Well-Known Girl.
Especially the 2 Asterix pictures are relly good although they are only copies
from the comic book.
The music by Lord is not bad but a bit too short.
It restarts two times until you are watching the work of Bart and it
becomes a bit boring while listening to it longer.
All in all a nice first production - let`s see what the future brings us with
The Gallery II...

PROFECY       "Numeric #3"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code  : Ale of Fame, Hades, Speed Power, Spectre
Music : Wooper, SLN
GFX   : Graph`x

 After a log time of silence, Profecy released this piece called Numeric #3.
This presentation comes to you on two disks. The first one only contains the
intro and the end sequence. First you hear few heavy rythms but later you can
listen to a very cool teckno track. The credits, which are also shown in the
introduction, are very long and boring (vector routines) but u can avoid this
by holding the left mouse button down while booting. Then you are forced to 
insert the second disk, the so-called Data Disk.
After a while the real part starts. It is possible to choose 1 of four tracks
which are composed in techno and house style.The samples are very good and the
digitized speech is one of the best I ever heard. Some samples are from well
known bands (Madness : One Step Beyond). The presentation is also good. On the
left side of the screen are the equalizers and a scroller is on the bottom.
On the whole this is a good production but only for it`s great music.The other
things like the intro or the end part aren`t of a better standart.

MUFFBUSTERS     "SIDMANIA" #1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code  : Mucsi, Jar, Blaise
Music : Various artists
GFX   : Krapulax, Jeva

This piece is the first issue of a new music disk serie. It contains about 200
Sid tunes. After a short loading and decruching time the main screen appears
and you can see the easy to handle menu system. Due to the fact that the old
C-64 replay routing had been used, almost all songs sound a bit nostalgic.
I`m convinced that noone of is able to listen to all tracks but the best ones
(my opinion!) are Rock `n` Roll (a clone from the Electronic Arts game) and 
Lambada.
You also have the possibility to choose one of 8 scrolltexts (HiRes of course).
I hope that this serie finds his fans and that Muffbusters release many issues
of this quality !
