Title: The Essential Digitracker Selection 3
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 06:54, 24 December 20
Music demo by the Donut Crew from 1996, again using converted Amiga files.
Some really great animation on display in this music demo!

Unfortunately due to a hardware issue synchronization is lost between the video and audio components
but don't let that distract you from what is one of the best UK CPC demos from the 90's I've seen so far.

Thank you for posting this. This really was a big effort to pull together at the time. It was also my penultimate release before the graphics collection mentioned in the 'cheat' part.


Volume 2 and 3 also have hidden text in the directory sectors of the disc that can be viewed if you use something like Xexor to view the disc contents!

It's funny how I found these, I was looking for Xmas slideshows/demos and ran across your "Merry Xmas From Maniac" (published tomorrow) demo and then looked at the other Donut System productions and thought  "I really have to record these" :)


Speaking of slideshows, did the graphics collection ever see the light of day?

I certainly sent it on to people I was swapping with at the time but I don't think I've ever seen it in the wild! I still have my copies etc so I'll have to see if I can make an image for it.

Thank you @Ast (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=573) - that means a lot coming from a coder much more capable that I!
