LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IN GLORIOUS "ARCHIE-VISION", WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE "BOUNCY-BAR" DEMO. ALL CODE AND GRAFIX BY ME, RICHARD WALKER WITH MUSIK COURTESY OF ALT_MAN AND THE SOUND TRACKER MODULE. (TAKE A BOW HUGO FIENNES). I THINK WE'LL KICK OFF WITH A FEW HELLO'S... HI TO NIGEL B, (BY THE WAY, WHERE'S MY PIG, NOT TO MENTION THE SLOATH), PETE BLENKINSOP (LONG TIME NO WRITE EH ??), LLEW DICKINSON (DITTO !!), ALL AT GOLIATH GAMES (WHO WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE THIS BUT NEVER MIND !!), AND FINALLY TO MY MATE ANDREW HUNT. (WHO STILL HAS AN ST (HA HA!!)). HO HUM. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY. GUARANTEED THAT IF YOU PUT ONE OF THESE SCROLLY MESSAGES IN A PROGRAM, EVERYONE WILL SPEND AGES READING THE THING EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE THAT NOTHING INTERESTING EVER HAPPENS IN THEM, AND THEN WHEN THEY GET TO THE END THEY THINK.. 'GOSH WHAT AN INCREDIBLY BORING MESSAGE, WHY DID I EVER BOTHER TO READ IT ??' SORRY ABOUT THAT, IT WASN'T EXACTLY CONFIDENCE INSPIRING WAS IT ?? BY THE WAY, IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE THIS WAFFLE WITH SOME OF YOUR OWN THEN JUST EDIT THE FILE 'MSG_FILE' AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU END IT WITH 'CTRL @', OTHERWISE IT WILL GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND.......... APOLOGIES FOR THAT, YOU HAVE MY ASSURANCE THAT PERSON RESPONSIBLE WILL BE TIED DOWN WITH CHEESE WIRE AND THEN WHIPPED SEVERELY WITH A WET HADDOCK, OR FAILING THAT WILL BE FORCED TO USE AN ST FOR THE REST OF HIS NATURAL (??) LIFE. WELL WHAT CAN WE DO NOW ?? I KNOW, TIME FOR A JOKE "WHAT'S BROWN AND SMELLS LIKE PINE ??" TUNE IN LATER FOR THE ANSWER FOLKS, (WHICH BY THE WAY IS A LITTLE RUDE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!) NICE MUSIK THIS ! AND WHAT NICE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING ! OKAY I'LL ADMIT IT I'M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY. I DUNNO, YOU SIT UP HALF THE NIGHT SLAVING OVER A HOT ASSEBLER (THANKS TO WINGPASS LTD FOR PRODUCING A GOOD ASSEMBLER THAT DOESN'T COST A SQUILLION POUNDS), TYPING YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE TO PRODUCE THESE DEMO THINGIES, AND AFTER THAT PEOPLE STILL EXPECT YOU TO ENTERTAIN THEM, WELL NO MORE !! I'M ON STRIKE !! "A TURD IN A RADOX BATH" IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING THAT WAS THE ANSWER TO THE JOKE. WELL SUIT YOURSELVES, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. ALRIGHT, I GIVE IN, I'LL CARRY ON.
