A New Life (1994, 03.07, ECS Intro). code: Excelsior, Telectronic, gfx: Chrombacher, music: "only_space2" by Destructor (MOD format).  Virtual Conspiracy 95 Invitation Intro (1995, 01.04, 40k Intro). code: Krustur, Morot, gfx: Sun, Chrombacher (font), music: Destructor. Released for the Virtual Conspiracy 95 40k intro compo, but unplaced. review: To the tones of the very c64-like chiptune, the intro starts nicely with a stretching zoomrotator. It goes on to a *LOT* of dots travelling around the screen in some shapes...and that's it. It goes no further than that, just keeps on showing off those dots. Unbelievably limited, unfortunately, since what's there is quite competent. [glenn] GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.0. Obsession (OBS) --------------- Chippo #5 (1994, 28.08).

Memtro (1992, .05, ECS Intro). code: Caddie, gfx: n/a, music: n/a. review: A totally unnecessary intro, really, with little to recommend it in the audiovisual stakes. That logo is a catastrophe. It's not that this is necessarily a BAD intro, it's just so... terribly run-of-the-mill. The intro announces new member Sali-Aderlat. There is no release date quoted inside the intro itself, the date above is an estimation based on the date of the other productions on the pack where it was found.
