- the lowdown -
this intro was never finished and is released "as is" now 8 years
late. it stops at the greetings part, but was supposed to have
two more effects/parts after that (as long as the s3m module plays).
it isn't packed and there are few bugs left in too - read the
longer story below if you can be arsed.
- the story -
during one beautiful spring friday of 1999, ccr was traveling home
from SA-INT (finnish army, where he was enjoying a 6 month vacation
at that time), when he got a idea of drinking lots of beer.
after arriving to home ccr called fgcl and asked if he had anything
of importance to do. having none, ccr asked if they could do some
serious boozing together. fgcl thought that it was ok and asked ccr
to pick him up.
quickly they visited a kiosk, buying many liters of alcohol, (mostly beer)
which is usually served as a "creativity drink" in TNSP brainstorming
sessions.
...
after 3 days of drunk coding, drunk drawing and drunk composing, a
short intro was starting to form. unfortunately, as it has been
traditional with TNSP productions, the intro was never finished.
ccr lost interest, and not enough effects were finished, so the
code was basically left rotting on his hard disk.
however, now in late 2007 - nearly 8 years later, mr. ccr got bored,
fired up DOSBox and installed Borland Pascal, MIDAS v0.40, and fixed
up the old crappy libraries and code of his ... with one night of
cheap magic tricks, the old code was blown into life - still very
unfinished, and short - but working.
now this piece of productive alcohol usage is at your reach...
I didn't bother compressing the exe or building any kind of final
version, so the data files are separate, etc.
