** crap box ** history ** the electronic knights *historical* pack series issue -17 * compiled and code by bifat * music ok3anos * gfx nero hey ho humble hombres, homeboys, homos and monos...! I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the pompous style of vedder 40 birthtro , but I sure as heck admire the group insane and its dedication! happy 40th birthday, dear vedder! I may be a bit late, but better too late than too soon. moods plateau's neon carrier is some masterpiece in atmosphere, also thanks to the very fitting music. the code is ridden with some flaws, but here they oddly work in the demo's favour! for not breaking the magic, I wouldn't ask moods plateau if that was by accident or deliberate... blast from the past! has a buggy startup, and it took me a long time to work around the issues when this demo is launched from a pack menu. or from anything else, for that matter, that is not an otherwise empty startup-sequence. I contacted soundy/deadliners about it and we tried several fixes, but we couldn't really nail the issue. so it might not work on all amigas, but chances are high that it will work on yours. as if that hadn't been enough trouble, neon carrier reserves an astounding 475540 bytes of chip memory. moods plateau, you are nuts! I had already added an add21k feature for twenty years of zealotry , another production of yours. but it wasn't enough this time around. so I added another mindblowing add39k feature to get neon carrier to work. this in turn exposed some other issues and bugs. so now we have new compatibility features, a largely rewritten launcher, and some changes in the pack menu. altogether this issue took me several weeks to accomplish. for what, you ask? why, to get your fine crazy shit to work from packdisk! and the pleasure is all mine, so thanks again all for your nice productions. the obvious greetings this time go to: deadliners, moods plateau, insane, lemon ... wrap...
