Main-scrolltext:

......WELCOME TO OUR FOURTH 42CREW-DEMO...THIS TIME WE,THAT MEANS THE MEMBERS OF THE 42CREW (LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER) FLOYD,WHOM YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CHEER FOR HIS GORGEOUS SOUND EFFECTS, MUSIC RIP OFF AND TIME EFFICIENT MACHINE ROUTINES, THE PUMPKIN FOR HIS ASSISTANCE AS ART DIRECTOR AND HIS STAMINA AS THE PICTURE PAINTER, TWISTER (OUR LITTLE GREEN VISITOR) AND CO FOR HANDING DOWN THIS DEMO TO YOU, ARE ALL GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN OUR DEMO 'THE FINAL CUT'. BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY A FEW DAYS TO CHRISTMAS WE ALL WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. BECAUSE THIS SCROLL TEXT IS A BIT LONGER THAN YOU EXPECT AND OF COURSE LONGER THAN MANY OF YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR THE GREETINGS,WE PUT THEM BEFORE ALL THAT RAVING...NOW TIME OUT!...A HAPPY HI!,(SMILEY) AND (THUMB) TO TEX (HEY GUYS, YOUR LAST DEMO WITH THE FOREGROUND SCROLLING WAS REALLY FINE, BUT DID YOU EXPECT THAT 'EDDIE'-SCROLLING AND AFTER RESET THE 'TOILET'-SCROLLING? I THINK WE WILL HAVE MUCH FUN AT THE MEETING AFTER CHRISTMAS, WON'T WE?), BOSS (HEY YOU, WHAT'S ABOUT A REAL GOOD DEMO FROM YOU? I KNOW YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE IT!), KRS (KLEPTOMANIE RESEARCH, THE ANSWER TO DIGITAL RESEARCH!), TNT CREW (HOPE WE WILL SEE US AT THE MEETING! DO NOT FORGET TO BRING WITH YOUR LAST DEMO!), MMC (HELLO G. AND R.), 1001 CREW (HOPE YOUR GAME ON THE AMIGA WILL MAKE A RICH GUY OUT OF YOU!), TSUNOO (OUR AMBASSADOR IN FRANCE?), DELTA FORCE (I HEARD ABOUT YOUR SUPER SCROLLING WITH FOUR SCROLLERS AT THE SAME TIME......BUT WHAT ABOUT A 6 TIMES SCROLLER?...DO YOU LIKE IT?......AND NOTICE THE SEVENTH SCROLLING AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!......BUT DON'T DISPAIR!......) ,STCS, CSS, BXC, IRATA, JTC, ROL, TNT, RSI, TERRA NOVA, USA AND AS OUR SPECIAL GUEST STAR FROM AMERICA THE FIRECRACKER. AS A BLACK SHEEP OF THE CRACKER COMMUNITY A (PIG) HI TO SIDA,WHATEVER THAT MEANS...OK,AFTER COOLING DOWN THE MOODS LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF THIS DEMO......AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL RELEASE OF OUR THIRD DEMO (YOU SURELY WILL REMEMBER THE RESET-EFFECT!) WE ALL WERE TIRED OF DRAWING PICTURES, WRITING TIME EFFICIENT ROUTINES, RIPPING OFF SOUNDS AND WRITING SCROLL TEXTS. AND OF COURSE THERE WAS SCHOOL INTERRUPTING OUR FULL TIME JOB CALLED CRACKING. SO WE LET TIME SLIP BY. BUT AFTER SOME REALLY GOOD DEMOS FROM TEX AND THE TNT-CREW THERE WAS AGAIN THE WILL TO CREATE A COMPLETE NEW KIND OF DEMO, AN ALLROUND DEMO OF THE POWER OF THE ST WHICH WAS UNTIL NOW NOT DISCOVERED. IT WAS REALLY NOT A TRY TO SHOW THE AMIGA FREAKS THAT OUR COMPUTER IS DOING THESE THINGS BETTER THAN THEIR, AS THE POPULAR GERMAN COMPUTER MAGAZINE 'HAPPY COMPUTER' IS EXPECTING FROM THE ST FREAKS. I THINK,AND THAT IS ALSO THE OPINION OF THE WELL-KNOWN C-64 'GURU' JIM BUTTERFIELD,THAT THE MENTAL COLD WAR BETWEEN THE ATARI ST AND THE AMIGA FANS SHOULD STOP AND NOT BEING STIMULATED BY SOME OBSCURED COMPETITIONS OF COMPUTER MAGAZINES. BUT BACK TO OUR STORY...FIRST THERE WERE THE ALREADY FINISHED SPRITE ROUTINES WHICH ORIGINALLY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BUILD INTO A NEW GAME CALLED 'FUTURE SLIDER'. BUT AS THERE WAS A LACK OF TIME, THE DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS GAME STOPPED A WEEK LATER. SO AS WE STARTED WITH THAT 42CREW-DEMO I REMEMBERED AND REUSED THEM. I THINK THE RESULT WITH 25 SHAPES ON SCREEN IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. THEN THE BACKGROUND-FOREGROUND THAT MEANS 3-DIMENSIONAL SCROLL ROUTINE FOLLOWED IN DECEMBER. BASED ON THAT ROUTINE ALL THE OTHER EFFECTS WERE DEVELOPPED UNTIL THE WHOLE DEMO WAS FINISHED AT THE 18TH OF DECEMBER AND RELEASED AT THE 19TH......WELL AFTER HAVING A SHORT BREAK I KNOW SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN TALK ABOUT! DID YOU EVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEW ACORN 32-BIT HOME COMPUTER CALLED 'ARCHIMEDES'? NO? THEN I THINK IT IS TIME TO...WELL FIRST OF ALL THIS NEW COMPUTER IS BASED ON A RISC (THAT STANDS FOR 'REDUCED INSTRUCTION SET COMPUTER') MICRO PROCESSOR, WHICH IS DUE TO HIS REDUCED INTSTRUCTION SET VERY FAST, ABOUT 2 GIGS! IN ADDITION TO THAT THE RESOLUTION CAN COMPETE WITH THE AMIGA ONE, UP TO 256 COLORS ON A 640-256 PIXELS SCREEN WITH THE CHOICE OUT OF 4096 COLORS. THE SOUND IS GREAT: EIGHT DIFFERENT SOUND CHANNELS, OF COURSE IN STEREO! THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THAT COMPUTER IS THE FACT, THAT ACORN WON'T SELL IT IN GERMANY IN THE NEARER FUTURE!......OH SHIT!...I FORGOT TO HAVE A LOOK ON THE TIME! WE HAVE TO FINISH OUR LITTLE TALK (WELL AT LEAST MONOLOGUE), BUT DON'T WORRY WE WILL MEET US AGAIN IN THE NEXT DEMO CALLED 'THE VERY LAST CUT'.........BYE. P.S.: DON'T MISS THE RESET-EFFECT!...

...HEY, I AM HAPPY WE COME TOGETHER A SECOND TIME! BUT COOL DOWN, THIS MONOLOGUE WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME. WELL I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS LAST PART OF OUR 'LAST CUT', BECAUSE YOU WILL MEET IT AS AN STAND-ALONE INTRO FOR VERY VERY BAD GAMES CRACKED BY THE 42CREW SUITABLE FOR THE DIGITAL TOILET SOUND! APROPOS DIGITAL SOUND EFFECTS, HOW DO YOU LIKE THE HELLS BELLS AT THE BEGINNING? WELL IF YOU LIKE ACDC I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT A FUNNY THING: THE SOFTWARE HOUSE INFOGRAMES WHO RELEASED GAMES LIKE L'AFFAIRE, TNT AND BIVOUAC USES THE HEXADECIMAL VALUE ACDC FOR CODING THEIR PROGRAMMES...GOOD TASTE I THINK! WELL ANOTHER FUNNY THING WHICH IS WORTH TO TELL YOU ABOUT IS THE SIZE OF THE SOUND ROUTINE AND SOUND DATA TOGETHER IN THE VERY BEST SHOOT'EM UP GAME KELLY-X. NOW GUESS THE SIZE OF THESE THREE TUNES INCLUSIVE ROUTINE.....................NO, LESS.........................NO, LESS........................3600 BYTES ALL TOGETHER!!!! QUITE GOOD WORK OF DAVID WHITTAKER! BUT THE ROUTINE ITSELF IS STOLEN FROM ROB HUBBARD (WELL I THINK NOT ONLY DAVID DID THAT,ER TEX?)...OK! NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE BECAUSE THE SUN IS ALREADY RISING AND A NEW SCHOOL DAY AWAITS ME! HAVE A GOOD AND BORING DAY WITHOUT YOUR 42CREW IN SCHOOL!...
