Demo Fun #6

Today's Demo is "1 Hour" and can be found at the usual place.

Our screen features the logo of Triad, the maker of this demo. It seems that they are a big fan of the Electronic Arts A. They're saying is "Dealer Quality Software." You know what that means, wink wink! This demo lacks background music.

Our good old scrolling text tells us that this demo is "drawed" by The Sarge Studios at the 24th of October. The name comes from how long it took to make. No kidding! Since they say it's exactly one hour, I wonder if they were racing the clock or wasted several minutes before compiling the program at the 1:00 mark.

We get the ranking list of today, oddly dated for the 6th of October: Ikari (The warriors?), TCS (who really impressed Triad. If you see the photo above you can see how hard it is to impress those guys. Anyway, TCS used videos. What that has to do with anything is up to our imaginations.), D-Gold, 1001 Crew, FCS, TTW/TLD, Judges, Antitrax, Yeti, ESI, MMX, Triton T (Jeez, did Triad keep the definitive list or what?), HTL/Popeye, FLT, New Edition(But only IPS! But aren't they a team!?), RWE/TLC, AFL '70, ... And several more hackers who named themselves after three random letters. I'm going to now have a chuckle at the idea of someone reading this list and bitching about, for example, how "MMX is worse then ESI, WTF!!!"

The guy on the bottom? Maffia Joe, who belongs there for presumably thinking it would be cool to add an extra f to his name.

After the list, Triad tells about it's status. "Expect the worst, U must be real worthy to be first in the ratings from now on,..." Wow, Triad was ahead of it's time. Now everybody on computers can't spell! "It's a good idea to send originals!!" You're right! We wouldn't want another one of those demos where people brag about their accomplishments and put down other nerds.

And then the text repeats! Wow, this was really short.

We're not done, though! This is the first demo I've done where it doesn't stop at one screen. For when we push the space button...



A picture of a helicopter! I'm guessing this was what most of the one hour went to. We even get a pretty good tune. There's no text though, so we really are done.


Date - October 24th, 1987
Scrolling text - Every other line is black, probably used for the font color.
Font - Rainbow colored.
Europeans - Can't tell. Placing the date before the month suggests so, but I don't know.
Bragging about Accomplishments - Yep.
Putting other hackers down - Yep.
Listing a ton of other nerds - Yep.
Harsh language - Nope.
Song - 8/10 - One of the better ones, for sure. It does have an odd poin where it has that song that they play at horse races.
