SHORT NOTE BEFORE WE READ AHEAD:

--- IN YOUR EMULATORS! (it still works in NTSC-mode,
--- but is slightly speeded.)
Got that? Neat! Carry on then!

Final Note:
At the time of release, we were unable to confirm how
this demo would perform (or even start) on an actual
machine. This should be investigated in the near
future and remedied if needed.
Perhaps. ^_^
Now, bugger off! =)
