I like it, really well done for me 🙂
Not bad! The logo is ok and does his job – the rest is very nice! A funky tune would be make it perfect 🙂
Ugly logo but pretty decent menu overall! Extremely simple to code on Megadrive (the Y-sine is done by h/w scrolling every 16-pixels, which is a h/w feature & the bars are just tile gfx and the same 8×8 tile-map repeated to ‘stretch’ it over the whole background), although it looks Amiga-esque it would be harder to do on Amiga 😛
How they change y-scroll every 16-pixel? Copper-like stuff?
It’s a mode of the Y-scroll h/w feature – you can either scroll the entire plane, or point it at a table which controls the scroll-offset for each 2-tile width (16 pixels). Used for cool effects in games like Batman, Super Contra, etc 🙂
Harder, but its only a using 5 colours for the logo by the looks of things so the blitter should be able to handle that nicely enough with a decently drawn 8 colour logo.
Simple but nice intro.
I can sense some Amiga influence here 😉 Would love to have a zik with this one.. e.g. something by Romeo Knight..
agreed
