Hello all,
I had some free time this weekend, so I packed and uploaded a few
programs to comp.binaries.apple2.
Crystal Quest GS (demo) - pretty good game, plays up to level 5 then quits.
Sound and graphics just like versions for other machines.
G.A.T.E. Demo - Demo of an upcoming Ultima-style game, with good but
already-been-done graphics and a quite nice soundtrack.
FTA Demo - "Pom's Revue 46" plays a song [Soundsmith "File 35", thanks
pirmann@rutgers.edu for the clue] with a reasonable graphics screen.
Lode Runner GS demo - Not the real game, but very close. Good sound with
graphics similar to the real thing (but GS-specific).
They are all GS-specific, unpackable with Binscii and Shrinkit 3.0.
You know, whatever you think of the GS and its future, it's a nice position
to be in to label demos such as this "reasonable" and "already-been-done";
that is, to be jaded enough not to compare these to Music Construction Set
and some of the other early stuff. :)
