welcome ! this is virgill´s new musicdisk called ´´viktoria´´ ! it contains a music-link-system to use any data-disk for ´´viktoria´´. instructions: click on one of the four buttons in this box. the (s)-button activates the soundmenu to choose one of the music on the actual data-disk. the (c)-button closes the menu and shows the credits. after the credit-part you can insert another data-disk, and the menu starts again. with the (t)-button the text menu appears. with the (note)-button you can switch the music off or on. if you can´t see the intro-part any more, just press the left mousebutton while booting the disk (but i think you don´t need that !). hello my bloody music-lovers out there ! those of us who have the audacity and pretentiousness to write about music for a living accept that is part of the price we must pay for this self indulgence is to be regulary under fire from the music loving public because of our wayward or worthless opinios, our cloth ears, arrogance, or our total failure to appreciate that musician x is infinitely superior to musician y ! but perhaps the misdemeanour for which music writers are most frequently condemned is that of attempting to put labels on music. in this context it is fair to say that musicians themselves are often as bitterly critical as the scene. it is easy to understand their irritation because creative artists cannot be put into regidly circumscribed categories and, in any case, no two people mean exactly the same thing if they talk about pop or electronic funk or techno soul fusion. but the musical omosis, the complex intermixing of sound, styles and samples which now characterises the international music scene has really thrown the labellers into total disarray. i think that no one has contributed more to the confusion that currently reigns the compulsive characterisers than virgill. ´´ihr findet mich ja sowieso toll, sonst haettet ihr den scrolltext nicht so weit gelesen...´´ and now bloody handshakes to my friends: microforce, boones, zap, cougar, peachy, emax, wotw, blackthorne, chromag, don cato, twillight-doc.holyday, mace, ukullele, dreamer, madison, flynn, irata, coolcat, romeoknight, wayne mendoza, mr.pet, crash, argon, crazy crack, skull, tsm, warhead, capella, tron and of course my dear friend jester and many many more... bye bye all my dear friends.. till next time !!!... hello world. with this disk we´ve released our first production for trsi. it took some month longer to finish than we wanted, but by disregard this, we think it´s well done. and all coders know: a real program never will be finished ! let´s give some notes about the intro-part: the first effect, we calls him the ´´mario-kart-effect´´, cause we invents him after playing ´´super-mario-kart´´, is about one year old. it looks really better if you use a more coloured street-track-bitmap. a new version contains a free 180 degree turn. with the same alrorithm we´ve done a 3d-zooming and rotating bitmap-tunnel, too. and remember: this is the original !! the second effect is only a shiddy coppereffect, but looks better than nothing (e.g. a black screen (hehe)). the third intro-part-routine was originally created for a complex one-bitplane zooming and rotating scroller. but virgill wants it in this part and now it looks like it looks. ... after all, we must say, that making games brings just more fun. -and mostly coding a shoot´em up- finally we gave some greets to the following people: blackthorne, control, microforce, tsm, viola bros., warhead and all our friends ! speazial thanx goes to fiver for some graphics in the intro-part. ps: habt ihr den virgilltext schon bis zum ende gelesen ?
