Demo Fun #5



Today's demo is called Future World. It's the usual length for the demos I've done so far.

We have a picture of an astronaut in space. Of course, he's a future astronaut, which means that he's equiped with grenades and a lazer gun. He looks rather surprised that his gun is firing at something. It actually looks like the lazer is cracking a whole in the screen. His helmet has a purple circle with two triangles poining downwards. I can't tell what that thing is to his left, but it's probably big freaken gun. This guy was really prepared for something spooky. "Future World" is on the screen and so is "United Style Crackers", the makers of this demo. Ritz, unite! The text scrolls by on the bottom.

"Hello, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the text starts. ARGH! My ears! Our author, Izeman, brags that he's from the world famous USC. He describes himself as jumping on the keyboard, which is a great euphemism for a lot of the work done for the internet. He follows this with a very long ellipse. He's the silent kind, I see.

Izeman informs us that USC is now down to two crackers, the other being Devil Fox. I think he went on to make an internet browser. But USC is looking for more good hackers and crackers. (We can see that grammar is no problem because he omits auxilary verbs.) Anyone who wants to join can call his Swedish phone number. He tells us that if we didn't catch the number, don't hurry! It'll appear again after the greetings. More ellipses.

Hey, what a coincidence! The greetings soon follow. Well, not that soon. We have more ellipses. Here's a list for people who like lists: The Game Masters, Azyx, Fairlight, Swedish Cracking Institute, The Atomic Society, Alpha Special Force, TWR, XL Crackers, The Shield, and New Generation. Great ellipses.

After that good but not great list, Izeman tells us that a number is coming. Oh, it's just his phone number. I already forgot. There it goes by. Oh, there's Devil Fox's number too. Wow! And there's the longest pause yet! We must be almost done.

Izeman tells us bye for now. Bye. This is followed by the date this was made and the time, which was 1:45am. The copyright is Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really. That's how it ends. I guess this was a short one.



Stats:

Date - May 12th, 1987
Scrolling text - There's an effect that makes the text look bent on both sides of the screen.
Font - Blue, and the Rs have dots over them for some reason.
Europeans - Yep.
Bragging about Accomplishments - Yep.
Putting other hackers down - Nope.
Listing a ton of other nerds - Yep.
Harsh language - Nope.
Song - 4/10 - Tries to be fun, but try thinking of the most annoying tune you've heard during a crummy 8-bit side scrolling game. Make sure it's really loud. That's what this reminds me of.
