read this text through!!! important!!!
this demo is dedicated to mask, the real top-coder of x-men and stack......
....he died on 2nd november 1988 in a car accident at the age of 19.........
he was just about to release a demo-version of his oncomin game, which
would have had a 64-color scrolling backround with over 30 nasties flying
on it! and he was about to call icebreaker for telling him some info
about how to do a 8-channel music player on amiga................... some
real fast filled 3d routines were under process too................ but no
one can get him back anymore..... i never saw him, but we made friends by
the phone.............. i can remember that he was a very good coder already
back in 87 and in one year he proved to be one of the top 3 coders in
finland .............. i miss him. signed, axa......
hi.... now it's my turn to say something.... i'm icebreaker. i never
got to know mask very well.... as axa already told you,mask was going
to tell me some clever things..... but now he's gone. i can't say much
about him,just because i didn't know him well..... but i surely miss
him too..... signed icebreaker........ now it's couple of mask's
good friends turn to say something. they are not here now,but we called
them and they told us what to write. here is their text: this is the man
speaking. i'm here with my friend,powerdrive and we are very depressed.
well,everybody knows already that our top-coder os dead. but this is how
it happened.... wednesday 2nd november mask and one of our friends
were on their way to school to tampere 7:50 am. they had driven about 10
kilometers from valkeakoski where they lived. on the straight part
of a one-line freeway there were ice. the road was in a bad shape. mask
lost the control of the car because of the deep tracks on the freeway. and
then the car started to go merry a round and they went into flatspin
(like in top gun). another car came freom the other direction and
hit first the back part of the car and turned it sideways. then a
pickup drove to the side of mask's audi 100cc. the middle of the car was
totally gone. it was surprisingly that somebody could survive as long
as both of them did. mask was still alive in the hospital but died
of internal bleeding half an hour later. and the other guy's torso
was smashed but he still lived longer than mask. they were buried on
saturday 12. november side by side at the same time. i had known both
on them already for 10 long years and we'll certainly miss them.
i think it's time to stop this sad story now and start practising
black magic. signed the man and powerdrive.
i think this scrolltext is now over. hopefully you understood the
meaning of this little demo. not so stunning but that is not the
point. i really hope you have read this text through,and understand
that we do not feel very happy now.
