1993 demoscene entry.

Demo description

Cascada production with warping title text, Mode-X 320x400 dot objects, and a rotating texture cube. On startup, the demo prompts you to select a sound card. If a mouse was detected, you will have to use the mouse to select items. You will need to click the begin'' button center-bottom to start the demo. Gravis Ultrasound is recommended. Sound Blaster support works but every so often will have audible buzzing'' glitches. The ``PC speaker'' playback mode will only give you loud overly distorted audio, don’t use it. LPT DAC modes generally work but with some audible crackling and some parts, like the warping closing credits, will slow to a crawl if LPT DAC playback is used.

Known problems

If you select Gravis Ultrasound playback, the demo does not exit by itself. After the rotating multiple-textured code, the starfield will run by itself forever until you hit ESC to exit the demo. In any other playback mode, the demo runs to the end by itself.
