CRIONICS NEVER WHERE DEMO 
------------------------- 
 
Again a Crionics Demo and again it was released at a party: This time it was the Bounty-Party in Denmark. And it won the first place. 
The demo use the whole disk, has got an intro, a loader, and 3 big parts 
I think the intro (coded by Spy) is the very best part at all on this disk: there is a great atmosphere with the sound and the vector-pyramid. 
The other parts are just medium or a little bit better than the standart. Some routines are totaly the same ones as in the old demo, released at the TSL and RSI Summer Conference (the last part). 
The first part is split up again in three little ones, at first you see the credits (coding by Saxs, Gfx by Madonna Freak), combined with some nice effects, also nice pics and ugly logos. The second little part is a  otating sinus scroller, scrolling on a terrible bad drawn logo. The last little part shows a picture of Madonna and a logo (this time a little bit better painted) scrolling over the pic. 
Then you see again the loader again. The 2nd part apears soon the screen. At first you see a kind of Budbrain animation (they had 'stolen' the first pice at the last party and Crionics became only 2nd). Then Denmark is zooming out, a 'flight-simulation' is following. The Spy coded that piece. 
The last part is just a copy of the earlier released demo, with other objects (coded by Murphy). 
At all it looks like a very quick release, just to have a product to show at the party. Well, I think the older demo is much better, there were new ideas. This demo here is just nice to look at, but nobody is getting crazy about it...

Gfx     : 45% 
Design  : 75% 
Sound   : 50%
