"Joyride" megademo by Hard Software, Hungary, 1995.

For compy party held in Orneta Poland, August 1995.

Two enhanced density (Atari 1050, 127K per side) bootable disks.

As with Hard's "Cool Emotions" demo, you may skip to any part of a demo by holding OPTION+SHIFT+number during bootup, where "number" is the part you want to get to.
Press most any key to skip to the next part (usually).

Side 1:

  1. Joyride introduction containing sythi-digi music and great intro pictures/logos.
  2. Plain colorful sinus-wave scroller with prerendered 3D raytraced image of a juggler juggling three glass globes! (From the Amiga) "behind" the scroller!
  3. 3D landscape (hills/valleys) created with ploted dots.
  4. Scroller text plotted onto spherical, circular, etc. 3D shapes! (Some fish-eye lens effects, for example. 16 effects total! Go to next effect with [SHIFT] or just wait a while.)

Side 2:

  1. Hard Soft bios. 3D side-scrolling starfield on upper left corner, scroller line in the middle, logo at the bottom. Images (in 16 shades) of members on upper right corner with bio information to the left (in 2 color high res!). Images morph from one member to the next!!!
Loader:
No simple blank screen loader. Not even just a countdown loader! This plays great music and has a 3D high resolution animated display between each part! AWESOME!
