                             Requirements:
                             -------------

                - An Atari Falcon 030 with at least 14 Mb of RAM
                - At least 30Mb hard disk space
                - An FPU chipset
                - No accelerated board needed

                Feel the power of the standard 16 Mhz Falcon!

                This demo runs on both RGB and VGA screens,
                but it runs better on an RGB monitor.

              This demo should run well under Hatari 2.5 or higher.


Some infos:

This demo has been in the making for four years.
I started by experimenting with individual effects, shaping a global atmosphere
and a recurring theme - a dystopian world, tinged with sadness and nostalgia.

I invited Jade to join me on this journey, and he immediately said yes.
(a million thanks to you, Mr. Mario ;).

Originally, Wieczor was meant to compose the soundtrack, but we couldn't quite
reach the result we were hoping for - thanks anyway, Wieczor!
Later, Virgill joined the project and composed the amazing music that now
brings the demo to life.

Every effect runs with custom DSP and 68030 code.
There's still room for optimization here and there, but overall, I'm quite
happy with how it turned out.

The demo runs in VGA mode, although timing isn't always perfectly accurate.
For the best experience, I recommend watching it on a 50 Hz RGB monitor.

I haven't tested it on a 68060, but it should likely work as expected.
