·Illusion by Virtual Dreams / Fairlight (2)

CODE:   The first thing that struck me,
was  the  combability  (Or  the lack of
it).   To  begin  with, I got a version
only  working on Amiga 500's with 1 meg
of  chip.  Now I got a one-file version
working on normal A500's, but still not
A1200,   lousy!    Anyway,   the   demo
contains  some  nice  effects  and  new
routines  which  are  nice  to look at.
Also a fast light-sourced vector tunnel
is  there,  looking  VERY nice.  All in
all  the coding is well-made except for
the combability.

GRAPHICS:  Not much to look at, but the
stuff  there is okay.  A nice intro-pic
and  some  cool  logos starts the demo,
there's  nothing  else  really, but the
stuff there, is well-drawn.

MUSIC:   This  is  the  normal style of
music/samples  seen  in Virtual Dreams'
productions.  An okay tune, but it gets
a little annoying after a while.

DESIGN:   The design is nothing special
except  for  some  okay  linkages.  The
end-part  is  quite  stylish  with  the
usual  poems  and  stuff like that, but
nothing else to notice.

OVERALL:  This is quite a good demo.  I
belive  that  this  was  the  one which
should  have  reached  the first place.
It  might  be  a  bit  short,  but it's
entertaining  and  really  nice to look
at.  A real keeper.
