Distributing
============
HALLUCINOGEN may be freely copied and distributed =providing= the
following three conditions are met:
* No profit is made
* The following two files remain together:
HALLUCIN.PRG (TOS binary, 49350 bytes) - screen
HALLUCIN.TXT (ASCII, 4299 bytes) - this text file
* The above two files remain unaltered
Other files (e.g. BBS adverts) should not be copied with the above
two files, and may be removed providing the above two files remain
together and unaltered.
System Requirements
===================
HALLUCINOGEN requires a blitter chip (either 8MHz or 16MHz), and is
primarily designed for the STE, MEGA-ST(E) and FALCON. The screen
won`t run on an STFM. It may also run on a TT, though it`s not been
tested (as of the release date).
The demo requires 405Kbs of RAM, so it will run on a 520, but you
may need to remove some resident programs from memory if you have any
problems. It goes without saying that it must be run on the machine`s
native TOS (not MultiTOS, MagiC, etc) in ST low res (320 by 200 by 16
colors).
If you experience any unusual problems trying to run HALLUCINOGEN,
please let me know, describing the system setup you have and the nature
of the problem. [See 'Contacting Us' below, for details of contacting
VIRTUAL INFINITY].
Other Information
=================
This screen (or something very much like it) was conceived over
four months, back in July `94. Several sleepless nights, countless
cups of coffee, many many hours when I should have been worrying about
other things, and fifty megabytes of graphics later, it has finally
escaped from the depths of my harddrive!
HALLUCINOGEN contains stunning effects, as promised, some of which
have never been seen in GFA before:
* Realtime, 4 bitplane bouncing scrolltext
* Massive 4 bitplane sprites
* 'Pre-coded' JPEG images
* 'Pre-coded' MPEG animation
* All running synchronously at 50Hz
* All coded in pure GFA (except musyc)
The digital images contained within this demo were taken by the
Hubble Space Telescope, back in July, when the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet
collided with Jupiter with spectacular force. Any subliminal images
contained within this demo are harmless.
The main credits for the demo are as follows:
* GFA graphics coding and screen compilation by Professor
* 68000 musyc coding by Kryten
* VIRTUAL INFINITY logo and bombs painted by 68K
* Font painted by SH3 of Reservoir Gods
* Animation sequence compiled by Walt Feimer
* Ripped musyc written by Big Al
Please read the scrolltext on the actual screen for further
information, including greetings and technical details.
