++ text extracted from the demo "Astrogate" by Byterapers (21/02/90) ++ release place... somero in finland release date... wednesday, 21. of february 1990 ...astrogate... new age has begun. the escape for the dying human race is found after a half-a-year project from byterapers. the single performances go as following... code and design by jtp and musk music and graphics are produced by jugi. in process has python also been as a supporting force, when grendel himself has been no support at all. what is the most remarkable thing in all, is that astrogate - the demo is the very 1st demo ever on amiga by jtp-musk. also you should note -jugi- is still in byterapers. yeeh - that was -grendel- of (b)... welcome to my demo !! i'm -jtp- and i created this little sweetie. now it is thursday, 8th of february '90. i planned to release this on 6th day, but these two fuckers (grendel and python) did not get their scroll-texts ready until now. and the demo has been ready almost two weeks. now i'll give u the facts about this product... .. . blitter-line coded by m.makela (thanks!! i sure know that this isn't our last product...) all other coding by jtp music and graphics by jugi 'jbb' perfect... (hey u - thanks for all - i'll send the editor soooooon.... hope that our next proggy will be finished someday... i don't know (yet) how to reward you, but we'll see...) i'm desperately waiting for the 16th day, because of my 18th birthday!! only couple of days more and... fun!!! also i'll get my driving licence (hopefully) in this month. did you know that i bought my amiga last summer?? couple of months i just played and was impressed of the machine. when the school began, it was august, i decided after all learn something about the 68000, copper, blitter... one guy in our school had devpac 2.0 and i lent it and started to code... you can guess, copper-lists and system-scrolls... i met python of (b) and he gave me seka. few weeks i continued with devpac but soon i realized that i'll have to move into seka if i really want to make something. so i threw the devpac to the lake and moved to seka. i got 3d-routines and first i transferred them to basic... it was funny, because even the 64-basic is faster than the amiga-basic. but anyway they worked. i planned the assembly-listing and one day i wrote it on seka. it didn't work. i guess because it was my first bigger program. after a week i had corrected the bugs (they were very small!!) and in october i had my first cubes rotating on the screen. after that the lazyness stroke and i coded about one evening per week. slow.. but still the demo changed every week. in january'90 i wrote my first blitter-routines (area-filling and transfering) and this scroll is my first blitter-scroll. it worked on the 1st time... it was a shock (i was ecpecting explosion!!) . .. ... .... that's that. i'm not sure if i make another demo, because i'm planning to make a game. it's not sure yet but perhaps it will be my next product. now it's time for some messages! 1st to python of (b)... hi, are you still stucked on her?? hope you're not - spread this !!! you can send that code, perhaps now i can fix it... 2nd to grendel of (b)... hey, do you remember that original-case??? please make that list soooon... phone me when u get this, ok???? 3rd to jugi... i guess i wrote something to u already but i'll just say this... .. . thanks !!! 4th to ruzzo of browbeat... how are you ??? sorry, i haven't have time to phone you but perhaps someday... it was fun in grendel-party, wasn't it??? 5th to apollyon and flex of contex... hello you guys there in north!! i always remember your joke with my disks last spring!!! it was quite a shock first... in finland, you're the number 1 on 64, keep it up!!! by the way, you make really nice demos !!! 6th to hazor of beyond ass... hello gay!!! how are you??? hope you're feeling sick!! noooo, joking... i'll visit you sometime (i am quite often in forssa weekends, so i can visit you on the way!!) and the last message goes to byterapers sweden... hello you there!! any new demos coming??? stop those fucking music-collections or i and python kill... speedhead - your music in sin twice was good when compared to your other songs (you mix them too much but i know you can do good songs!!!) csa - sin twice was quite good!!! have you heard what i and python have planned??? ask us!! greetings to all our members everywhere !!! i'll stop now (and continue later!!) ... yes! yes! date is 28.1 1990. time is 16.22 and place is lahti in finland, and i am writing this scrolltext. joe satriani is playing in my blaster. i am jugi perfect..... grafix in this demo were originally done by jtp, i just polished 'em! song that you are listening to, is at least 8 months old. i just hope that it doesn't sound too old. it seems that this is my last official byterapers demo. reason for my leaving is artistic freedom and i thought that after 2 years in (b) i need some change. of course i will do some unofficial(?) stuff for my friends in (b)... in fact i don't really care in which group i am, as long as my musics and graphix are seen and heard in a demos and other products. i have nothing else to say so bye now all you beautiful people out there, i love you all........... yours, jugi 'not so' perfect!...... alushousut jalkaan, the yellow slime is stinking here now. what stands for -grendel- long time we've last seen, as it must be months without activies on any machine. when my 64's drive refused to save many many months ago, i've only been enjoying lots of beer and playing games. naturally i've been unemployed, only writing articles to c-lehti,a finnish compumagazine. but shame on me, i'm now about to start working for iisalmi-city, noooo you got it wrong - i'm not going to library again. i will teach kids how to use computers, or something like it. not all the time, but 2 times a week... imagine, little kids looking at amiga and asking how to load a game. hah... Tapu tapu tapu it's now -dt- writing. i'm going to tell you something about our famous fan club. it was founded about 5 years ago and there's now about 5000 members around this cold country called finlandia. imagine many many guys and girls worshipping us. for example i nowadays get about 50 fan letters every day and probably grendel gets lots of more. but now you have great chance to join the byterapers fand club. normally it costs 129.95 dollars, but now just for you it'sonly 139.95. application forms should be send to me (dt). use our specialoffer!!!!!!!!! ok, that's for it. let's go to boring greetings part. i don't have our offical greetings list, so these are only grendel's and dt's personal ones.
