Cool tune and the scroller, nice copper on the bottom typer. Yep, the logo is not the top class one but not the worst ever either. Intro does the job very well.
Nice logo but a little bit to aliased for me.
Not a fan of the tune but it does the job. 🙂
Unreadable scroller is not my taste 😛

I like the scroller, however I always felt like the logo looked like it had been through a bitplane ripper because of deluxe paint crashing or something like that.. The outline is just so bad it can not be intentional.
I was thinking the same thing regarding the logo, good thing you mentioned it because I was thinking whether I should say anything…
But other than that it’s a decent intro… wait! This is a Brian Postma Soundmon tune…. how the hell is it playing inside of a web browser!?!
Loved the sinus scroller + zik back then.. still do. Did not like the “overall” intro, though. Probably bcos of the logo and scroller colors? Dunno, heh. @BlazeB done myself similar by having one “normal scroll” in memory and then making the all the required “shrink” phases out that and from those blitt the sinus. Has a bit of blitting overhead. Other possibility is to have shrinking pre-calculated for all fonts and then blitt sinus from those. I have not checked how this is done but I’d guess it is the latter. Not sure if the amount of shrink varies… Read more »
I would do it using method #2, the font is only 1 or 2 bitplanes so it’s not going to use that much memory and it’s less overhead blitter-wise – I’m sure Musashi9 can tell us since he has ripped the font(s) already 🙂
Quite like this one 🙂 How is the sine-twist achieved? – with a modulo effect or some other way? Massive “323 megabytes online” LOL! I should not laugh as I could not even afford a modem or HDD back in the day.
Had a chuckle at “massive” 323 MB as well… My first hard disk for my A1200 was 516 MB formatted, and I had to work all damn Summer for it… while my buddies were enjoying the Summer at 40 degress Celsius, I was freezing my ass off at 4, loading and unloading 996 kg palettes of peaches, tomatoes and the like, just so I could afford a hard disk… 323 MB might have been massive back then, now we have single files that are multiple times larger than that, and relational databases in Petabyte sizes…
A starfield is missing but apart from that a great one.

Like this, crazy scroll, music outstanding… I think the logo edge needed or was meant to have a subtle copper cycle…
For me one of the best chips ever, but it fits much better into the ‘Magic Circle’ intro
In this intro nothing fits together
nice tune indeed

Cool! Might incorporate this effect when I release my next demo 😉
