Free Chip: %ld Free Fast: %ld Loaded FAILED Failed to allocate memory for message port. So we made it at last... and it only took 3.5 decades LOL! - Dream Merchants' first release *EVER* since 1989! \o/ - Let's start the celebrations for our 35th Anniversary (damn, we're old farts indeed) with this shamelessly oldskool musicdisk briefly named "DeM-o-Tape #1 / Side A - aka: Computer Dreams" --- You see, back in The Good Old Days (TM) our very own mYx recorded a mixtape of his freshly composed mods with his trustworthy A500 connected to a stereo deck and he labelled that cassette with the most original title ever: "Computer Dreams". So we thought it would've been nice to keep that very same tracklist here in this release as well, just a nod to our own story and the lovely days of teenage years... Anyway, here it is: side A of the first tape (there's a subtle hint in the title pattern foreshadowing a trend, did you notice?) - So just imagine a bunch of wannabe-demomakers back in the summer of '89 dreaming of scene-glory and spending lazy days pushing pixels in DPaint, samples in SoundTracker and code on SEKA. Now imagine those teenagers approaching (or having already crossed) their 50's... no wonders this prod sounds and looks outrageously outdated, well... that's the spirit anyway! ;) - It's been a hell of a ride, but we're still here, alive and kickin' and ready to flood the scene with a bunch of nifty releases in the coming months, so beware: DeM are buack and ready to blast! --- And now close your eyes and let the oldskool sounds make you feel that summer of '89 magic all over again... --- All mods composed by mYx in '89 / '90 with SoundTracker 2.3 on A500 - codework by TheDruid - pixels by Skan --- Special thanks to: Hannibal/Lemon (KingCon) - Guru/Sahara Surfers, NoName, Platon42, Tolkien, The Dark Coder, Photon/Scoopex (P61) - Bartman/Abyss (Amiga-debug VSCode extension) - Toni Wilen (WinUAE) --- Greetings fly to: Abyss, Alcatraz, Andromeda, Brainstorm, DCS, Dekadence, Ephidrena, Iris, K2, Loonies, Nature, RNO, Scarab, Scoopex, Spaceballs, Spinning Kids, TBL and all Amiga sceners of the past and the future! --- >>> SCROLLTEXT RESTARTS >>> --- ( PRESS DEL TO QUIT TO WB ) --- ....................................................................... Hey dudes, Skan on keys! So, it just took a biiit longer than expected (sarcasm), but our first release is here, fvck yeah! \o/ ...And now we are officially granted a spot among the legendary Amiga Sceners! LOL! - Anyway, about this production: my main effort here is the restyling of the original Dream Merchants logo made by mYx way back in '89 ...and basically changed in every single bloody pixel since then. Some design choices here, another bit of pixeling there, testing, organizing and that's all. I must admit it's a terrific feeling to see this little piece of digital art come to life on a screen and I'd like to thank my lifetime brothers TheDruid and mYx for making this happen, love u guys! <3 - I'd like to thank the lovely Cammy as well for reserving a spot for us in the Amiga Advent Calendar 2024 (Xmas-egg alert! ;) - And now it's time for mandatory greetings, so let'em roll! - There are way too many people I'd like to greet, so please forgive me already if I'm gonna forget anybody (oh, I will!) - First, a huge high five to my old friend Stingray, the one and only ubercodemeister! \o/ Man, sooo many years have passed since our endless chats on IRC! :...) Then, in random order, hugs to all the long-lost scene friends I met through all these years both virtually and/or in real life: Slummy, Rubberduck, Loaderror, Pezac, Britelite, Kusma, Hyde, Corralx, Pan, Dixan, Broderick, Gargaj, KB, Gopher, p0WL, Ghandy, Dawnbringer, Menace, Zed Yago and all of you out there - you know who you are, but if you feel left out just let me know and I'm gonna greet you on our next release! ;) See you soon(ish) guys with "DeM-o-Tape #1 / Side B" --- >>> SCROLLTEXT RESTARTS >>> --- P61.10_xmas.mod IT IS CHRISTMAS P61.1_blast_em.mod BLAST'EM P61.2_mistery.mod MISTERY P61.3_west_side.mod WEST SIDE P61.4_player.mod PLAYER P61.5_power_of_pain.mod POWER OF PAIN P61.6_dem1_worlds_war.mod DeM:1 P61.7_last_theme.mod LAST THEME P61.8_inag_remix.mod I.N.A.G.
