Nucleus is this real spiffy demo for the Apple IIGS from a few of the same people who brought you SpeedySmith: World's Fastest (GS) 3.5" Disk Copy! There are some things about this demo that are particularly noteworthy: o Boots in around 5 seconds. The drive head movement sounds like a bunch of prune enthusiasts spitting into a tin pail. (thunkthunkthunkthunkthunk...) o High quality, 7 voice neo-progressive-pseudo-bop rock soundtrack. 4 separate sound tracks, WITH some voice cuts. o Very smooth, FAST animation with the soundtrack going on at the same time. Almost flicker free! (actually, I can't see the flicker, but AFA Parik can :) It impresses much in the same way that the Sword of Sodan and FillMaze demos do. The GS isn't supposed to be able to do this kind of thing very well. 8) Dave Seah | O M N I D Y N E S Y S T E M S - M | Internet: dseah@wpi.wpi.edu | "User Friendly Killing Machines" | AlinkPE: AFC DaveS | A Division of SLO, International | Bitnet: dseah@wpi.bitnet

Underneath them, the caption reads: "They can because they think they can."
