DEMONS SLIDESHOW 3 
------------------ 
 
In the beginning, just a fact: One of the best slideshows in the last months is pobably this one from the French group Demons. 
After booting the disk it soon begins with the first pictures. The first five pics show the logo of the group, the credits for this work (Gfx: C-Dryc, Code: Hades, Sfx: Ric) and a logo "SLIDESHOW III". Until now it's nothing special, the logos are good and perfectly drawn. But after this kind of intro, the first 'real' picture comes up to the screen: Robocop 2. Here you can see that C-Dryc is a really professional painter. The following pictures (at all 14) are in the same quality or a little bit bader. C-Dryc drew some fantasy-, monster- and spaceship-pictures, which all are high quality. 
The code is simple and bad! The whole pic is fading out when it's loading the next pic, even the scrolltext is fading out! There are no special effects to present the pictures - just fading in and out - boooring. 
Well at last the sound: I didn't like it, there are too much ripped samples and the tune itself is a little bit strange... 
But don't misunderstand me after all these bad critics, it's a really good slideshow but only because of the well drawn pics...
