At only 20 votes away from D, the french dreamers strike back with another cute intro, entitled Toyzareus! The intro starts off with a cute title picture of a funny bear, which immediately prepares you for a trip into the world of cute graphics! The text writer parts feature a little light sourced vector star, and the links between the various parts are accomplished with the aid of the infamous flying vector plane. Dreamdealers also managed to include a BBS info part with flying vector cubes disengaging themselves from what looks like a zoomed cute little dino! What really cuts Toyzareus above the rest are the infamous gouraud shaded vectors, which are so much used in PC vector games, but so rare on the Amiga. Actually this seems to be the first time that gouraud vectors are featured in a scene production... too bad that the objects are only restricted to simple cubes, but on an A1200, they are really fast! The credits part is presented in a very stylish way with arrows moving left, right and centre while the names of the producers scroll by! The intro finally ends with a vector shaped heart object rotating in the middle of the screen. Toyzareus is another little quality production that lives up to the name of DreamDealers. Redlight has to be highly credited for introducing the gouraud shaded vectors in the scene, and we're afraid that this is only the start of a new mania... Do you remember, some years ago, the then mouth watering glenz vectors?! Zebig seems to specialise in drawing little cute figures, and these are always of an extra aid to create a certain design which cuts it's way from the so much imitated Melon one! The tune by Reflex helps immensely to add the final touch of cutesy! Code: 8/10 Graphics: 8/10 Design: 8/10 Music: 7/10 Originality: 7/10
