Emulated Oric by Defence Force [web]

"Dbug 128 bytes Emulated Oric Intro."

Concept:
Since I already made my picture for the True Color compo, and the text file for
the Ascii Art compo, I decided to try coding something for the small 128byte
intro compo. The whole idea was to makes something that looks like an Oric Atmos
booting, then loading an oric intro that would display something on screen.
Unfortunately it was my first attempt at size coding, and after some minutes of
coding I was already above the 128 bytes, mostly because I had a lot of text to
display. In the end I removed a lot of things, and battled for 3 hours to add
the "rasters" while staying under the size limit.

Implementation:
It's using the VT52 emulator, it means that it will not be working on the
Falcon. It will but without colors there's absolutely no point running it. It's
already lame with colors, so try to imagine how it can be without...

Conclusion:
It was the first time I coded something using 680x0 assembly code since 1995,
and damned, that's a hell of time, I almost forget everything including devpack
options, syntax, monst shortcuts, and tos return codes...

I will try to do something better in the "near" future.
