Review by Sorcerer of The Digital Dictators!

                             ALF MEGADEMO
        
This is a quite good demo made by the group TRB.I think this demo
is a winner of the -GEN 4- demo competition.
  The demo begins with a screen with ten green balls flying around,
some quite good soundtracker music,a picture where it stands ēSt mag
3615ē (I donēt really understand what 3615 means!!) and 4 equalizers.
The equalizers are a bit different from others,because here they 
smash into someoneēs head (?).
  Well when you then press space you will come to the main menu.Here
you see some distorting text (the names of the demos) and you
hear a nice little melody.You can change the speed of the distorting
textblock by pressing plus or minus.There are 8 demos which you can
choose between with F1-F8.I will write about the demos in order of
their numbers (F1 first and so on):

F1-CHARON DEMO  Made by Shinew Shy

When you first enter this screen you see a block coming towards you
and then flying away from you.In that block you see the well-known
text ē36.15  GEN4ē.In the background you see a starfield.
Then thereēs a circle scroller with rasters in it and this scroller
bumps around really nice.Behind that scroller you see some nice
text which comes up in a turqouse colour.
This screen consists of four bitplanes.I think this screen is one of
the best in this demo.

F2-WAXYCOLOR  Made by Shinew Shy

This second screen has two bad sides;there is no music and the 
scrolltexts are written in french.There are many colours in this
demo,therefore the name...
On this screen you see four scrolltexts and below the two middle 
scrollers you see a lot of bubbles in different colours.That is
very nice,but this demo is not my favourite.

F3-BERMING-HAM  Made by Shinew Shy

In the middle of this screen you see a large scrolltext moving 
away from you.The scrolltext is in many different colours and that
is very nice.Over the big scroller you see a rotating block with 
the very familiar ē36.15  GEN4ē.
Again there is no music (I wonder why??).

F4-MODULABACK  Made by Shinew Shy

This screen is quite good (if you donēt watch the scrollers,they are
in french!).The music is VERY good,with four equalizers too.
In the middle there is a block moving forth and away saying ēTRBē.
Behind that block there are two scrollers,one going horizontally
and one vertically,the vertical one covering little more than the 
half screen.Both scrollers are written in french.
Beside the four equalizers there are two picēs showing two members 
of the group (I think so!).Over the equalizers there are two more
scrollers but these are very small.

F5-QUANLYFEICE  Made by Shinew Shy

First you see a very small scroller and four equalizers,formed
like a mountain,playing a very nice piece of music.After a second
different pictures begin to show up behind the equalizers and a
large rasterscroller shows up in the middle of the screen.

F6-GATOINTRO  Made by Lem

This screen is strange.There is no music.Far up on the screen you
see a starfield and in front of that...ē3615  GEN4ē,a block waving
around.Under that block you see something very weird.Some colours
with some text on,but the strange is that you canēt read the text.
Under this you see a quite normal scroller with a 32*32 font.
This screen bombed out after a while,donēt ask me why...

F7-RASTERSCROLL  Made by Lem

This screen starts with a nice melody and four blue scrollers in 
the middle.But after a while things begin to look better.A very 
good picture shows up in the background and starts to scroll upwards.
There are four equalizers where the text ēG E N 4ē stands.

F8-BOUNCING BOB  Made by Lem

This last demo is one of the best on the disc,but it doesnēt always
work,and if it works,then it will bomb out when you try to leave it.
It has some soundtracker musax,a nice TRB logo in front of some bubbles
which are scrolling over the screen.
Over the TRB logo you see the text ēGEN 4ē and through that text you
see another text (nice technique!):ēRAIDER BROTHERSē.
And,of course,there is a scroller (but only one this time!).

This demo is quite good even though they have "forgot" to put in
music sometimes.Here are the grades:

Graphics: 75%

Sound: 88%

Scrolltexts: 46%

Coding: 80%

Overall: 70%
