Introduction

Demo published in June 1989 by the FAC team. Also known as "Xylonite" demo.

All the coding, graphics ripping and music ripping was done by the Le Ti Organisation. The ripped graphics use screens 5, 7 and 8. The ripped music requires MSX-MUSIC and SCC. If you don't have a computer with internal or external MSX-MUSIC, you will hear PSG music in the parts with MSX-MUSIC.

There are a few interactive parts in this demo to make it a bit more enjoyable from today's point of view.

A cartridge with SCC/SCC+ soundchip or compatible is required to fully enjoy it. SCC Konami cartridges are usable but remember: Do not insert a cartridge with the MSX turned on!!!. However, safe options exist:

  • slotexpanders with switches
  • SCC cartridges modified with switch or converted to Megasram (aka ESE-RAM)
  • use an MSX emulator

We stay in screen 7 for a message part, obviously inspired by the Compile Disc Stations (MSX-MUSIC and graphics). It uses CompileBGM BASIC and includes different 'arguments' to convince you to not buy a Commodore computer!
