D0C0M2V0PfPf     the  time M0D3C6P8PeC0PfM2
    has  gone M0D3C6P8PeC0P8M2
               D0C6PfM6V9  time, gone ?!?   oh nooo!!! you and these
endless dialogues
again?
                D0C0P2M2V0       yes    M0D3C6P8PeC0P8M2
               D0C6P6M6V8  well, it seems that you haven't learned
much since we last met.           P3action!  M7P5M6P4   we want action!
                D0C0P2M2V0      i see   M0D3C6P8P3C0P8M2D0C6
           P1V9M0   well, 'you' are gonna disappoint
this time because todays menu does not include octopussy-equalizers
and such 'action'.  only time-eating high-level mathematics is served.
             P8M6 oh lord. high-level math..   such as?
               D0C0P2M2V0    such as.. M0D3C6P8PaC0OgP8M2PfPfT1Z1R

C1P2M0V7  ho hoo!  M5P8M0VfS6     it's me,   tai-pan  M5P8M0 of
  phalanx  M5P8M0,

presenting you my
second intro at last.    A2S3(note: even if
this is more like demo i prefer to call it as intro just because that word
sounds better in my ears. )

             P3V7yeah, after drinking thousands bottles of jaffM1a,
sM0pending countless nights without sleep, thM5rowing up three timesM0,
and falling sick twice,  i eventually managed to finish it!   making this intro
took only a little over two months to code, so i'm getting faster
all the time, hou hou.

            P6C2  well, let's get to the point and start with the credits:
               C5M2V0   coding by M3P1M0P5P8M4P1M2P5C3
             M5V6     tai-pan  P6M1P4M5P2
           P3C1M2V0          font by  M3P1M0P5P8M4P1M2P5C4
             M5V6      blade   P6M1P4M5P2
           C1M0V8 and this nice tune called "creative human"
is composed by creative  S4     walkman  M5PcVfA4S2            M0
  of       it    M1P8M0P1A1VfS0

                 M0V9C2  so, here it is. over two months work under
your eyes.  i hope you find my 3d-routine satisfactory.     i have to
confess that i really am a bit proud O4of it because it
can provide some unusual feO0atureZ2s whiO9ch haven't much existed
in previous 3d-demos.           D0C1M5P2V4just stay on the same
bat-channel and you shall find out!             M0C4PaV9
     perhaps a brief description of history of this intro would fit here well.
        it all began as early as two years ago when i first began to think how
it would be possible to produce some 3d-grafix.  after some heavy
thinking i managed to create a clumsy basic-program (using my
good old amstrad cpc) which produced 'almost' perfect vector-grafix.
  D6C5but then i forgot the whole idea till last x-mas, when i began
to think what to do in next intro.   so i dig up old formulas i used
in the basic-program and i began to convert it to amiga.
    the 68000-conversation was surprisingly easy to do. the first version
i made in only two days and it worked fine except it was slow, too slow.
  C1so a lots of debugging was Oadone until i came up with this final
version. i wrote the main rouO0tine abouO5t three times (each time it was
a completely different, still doing the same thing but always faster than
the earlier versions.) until it come to
the requirements i had put to it.
        it is not easy to describe how powerful it is but
as a sample the diamond you are watching consists of 19 points and
48 lines and still theres a lot of unused time.
         ofcourse you notice without saying that the screen
is updated on every frame.              D0C4V6P7ok, end of boring
info-part                P3next on bat-channel:
     some quick messages to a few persons.
              D0C5P2V8first a same message to following guys:
   trashin#adducers, gizzy#crush (norway), bonfire#vortex 42,
 and psycho bill#sunriders.     i haven't heard from you since
ages.   why?   please contact soon, i miss you all. S5hohohahohehihohuha...S8
      then message to hackman#deathstar:   cut the bull, ok?
       	      then message to mic#world of wonders:
    congratulations!  you got my amiga pregnant, and the baby will most likely born
in a couple of month.
              one last message to all
of you.   yes, we have lately been asked to join several groups,
and always we have given the same answer:      nope   P4
     and it always will be the same, even if you were
a green marsian with planet full
of amiga 3000's .     so if you are considering to ask us to join your group
(whatever group) , don't!   it would be only a waste of paper.
                D0C3P7V5and next on bat-channel:
      an unusual feature in 3d-business!
               C4P6Vayes, this roO6utine really does something
which i consider as not-so-veryO0-often-seen-thing.
       just inspObect carefully the spacecraft you are about to see and
you might guess it without helping.        anyway, here's some
data about the vessel you are looking at.
               M2V0  type:   M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7
     cobra mk6 M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7C2

and munatvex-3 spacemine-launcher 
               M2V0  crew no. M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7
  3 and dog M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7C1
  cargohold M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7
    enough   M3P1M0PbM4P1M2P7
                M0V6and it's all drawn with best possible hidden
lines.    A3S9 well... hummm...  almost!
           yes, this hidden-line-routine works fine with round-shaped
objects ( except ball is a bit difficult, he ho he hi ho hu)  but antennas and such
things are not perfectly drawn.   but when working with lines
they never are. S6( unless you create a miracle which calculates the
crosspoint of two lines and then tries to decide what to with it.)
S9    the principle of deciding if draw a line or not is very simple.
if we have plane which consists of points and lines drawn between them,
it is very easy to calculate whether it's visible or not by using phytagora's
sentence when we know a point from plane's normal which goes via some plane's
point.  simple as that!    C4filled vector-grafix is my next target
on this subject, but it won't happen in the near future because i have other
things to do.               C3PaV5
ping pong pang pong.   time fO8or a commercial advertisement
for ...    bat-channel!!!              C4P4V8
the sirius cyberO0netics proudly pOfresents it's newest product for
home-computer-users.   this new, fascinating device is called
  skycalc  P4 after it's creator, skyscraper.   this fabulous
instrument is used for calculating and it contains all the
functions that today's highly educated user can dream about.
      this particular model skyscraper designed for
his own use, it has only those buttons he needs ( and which
meaning he just and just understands).  these are:  one, plus, and equal.
          this model costs 154.99 dollars and is sold in every
well-equipped computer-stores.               OaD0C3PaV5
and next on bat-channel:   some information about phalanx
today.                C1P4V8O0   phalanx has Ocgrown a lot since
the first days.  now i (try) to list our present memberlist here:
              P4Vaapollyon % blade % blob % buffalo % cable % crusher %
devil % fulcrum % mogwai % roland % skyscraper % tai-pan %
zeus              V4P4mithrill is kicked out because of
unnatural mating habits!
               Vabut even if we have quite many members we have
always room for more.   infact right now we are looking for
a talented grafix-artist to join us.    so if you think you are
good enough, contact us with some samples of your work.
  (my address is coming up soon.)

                D0C5P4V8hooray, we just got couple brand new members !!
(well, the other member isn't really O4new. cable just has changed
his image to a positive diO0rection.)
        V7first weO1 got a new mutant called      oracle  P6
      he has some super-natural capabilities such as
he can give the right answer to whatever question.
            V5what?   P4V6you don't believe me?
   well i shall then ask oracle some hard questions so that
you can see i am right. (and oracle too, always!)
              D0C2hey oracle, are you a new member of phalanx?
              O3Pfha haa, did you saw it? he said yes!
   all right, let's give him a tougher one.
         oracle, is the moon a big cheese?
              O2Pf correct again!!!
       now it's time to terminate some lies which have been
told about us.        oracle, have we ranked ourselves as
no. 1 or at least 2 in finland?
             O2Pf    so hackman in deathstar has again spoken
bullshit about us?
             O3Pf    there he goes!  ladies and gentlemen, oracle.
the final true-teller.             O3PfO4   
              D0C4    then the other new member is a complete reformed
version of old unable cable.   i Odhave the joy to present:
   supercable P4M1P3M0P4    the final hope of mankind if the
andromedans attacked earth.   she.. err..  he is power,
he is steal, he is justice, he is love!
       you may wonder how this unbeliavable reborn is possible.
    let me tell you, it is a miracle!   but you see,
when cable was a little baby (with always brown in the pants)
the doctors took several x-ray-photos of his head (because
they tried to search cable's brains) so young man was exposed to
large amount of radiation, maybe that has somethiOeng to do with this rapid mutation.
      but now we have used enough cable's valuable time. we have to
let him go and save the world.   good luck supercable, you'll need it!
              C1PfVaok, enough bullO0shit. now Oji'll print out my
address so that you can contact me. as i said: good grafix-artist
badly wanted. also new swapping-contacts are always welcome.
    attention! coming up now:  my address
so grab a pencil and a peace of arse-cleaning-device and write
to:      tai-pan  Pf ,    nybacka  Pf   16a    Pf
  ,    07590   Pf   huuvari  Pf  ,   finland  Pf

    oh, and if you wanna hear my unpleasant voice, dial:
   A1Se358-15-31881 and ask for antti
               P7V8all right. by the way, the object you are looking at
is not a sword of sodan. it's a sword of tai-pan, he ha he hu hi ho he ...
               C2O6P6 and before phalanx-greetings a competition:
              Vayes, now an international brain-cO0ontest O7for all of you.
       you are about to see a box. a normal post-package made of
cardboard. your task is to find out the top of this box.
use the arrows as guide. it's not very easy task but try anyway.
   the first who sends me the right answer wins a   errr...
  price.  ( we haven't decided yet what the price is but at least
it'll be wrapped in this new desing post-package and sent in express.)
     good luck and let the best man win!

all right. time for final words.
   errr... what to say?
   boy, i hate these sentimental parts.
     well, not coming new phalanx-demos
in the near future because we have just
started a top secret project with cia,  or was it ira.  no, it was unicef.
  no no, it was ...
                P4and in case you wanna party, come to
lahti in finlandia on 7-9 april, because then the
phalanx&overload&x-men&deathstar-parties will take place,  if the
god wills.
               D0C3P5that's it. gotta go. see you. bye bye. adios amigos.
 heja finland. auf wiedersehen.     joo tws, loppu jo, paina nappia.
