This was a direct result of a nasty virus. I have no tape backup, and I had been using my old 40 MEG drive to store backups on. Unfortunately, this hard drive was also hit by the virus. As a result of this, I have lost all the songs I have ever written (save the 2 songs for the mc2final intro and the Escape intro). I also lost my entire sample library, so it looks like I won't be writing any new songs for a while. I will hopefully get some data off of my 40 MEG drive after sending it away for data recovery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MUSIC CONTEST 2 UPDATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The results are in! By the time you get this newsletter, the final results should be released. You can find them at /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/mc2 under mc2final.zip. This is on ftp.eng.ufl.edu of course. As a result of my hard drive crash (see GENERAL above), the 1st place rookie prize will have to be either changed or delayed. I will contact the winner and see what to do. ============================================================================== ((Section 5...ESCAPE Demo/Music CD)) ============================================================================== Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information. (i.e. More information, cost, how to get the DEMO/MC][ CD) We are down to the final week of work for the CD...we could really use help in the areas below if we want to get this out mid October. ART We could still use art by you talented artist out there. Too bad not many of you are willing to donate a little time to help our little CD project. The art/text will all get put together this week so if you do have something to submit get it to me ASAP--dmw@eng.ufl.edu. LAST CALL Last call for demos is SEPT 27-28 if you want your production on the DEMO/MUSIC CD--ESCAPE. This is mostly a call for newer/rare demos we do not have which people may not have uploaded. MUSIC CONNECTION Can anyone lone me a username/password as I have the lowest status on the board with a 25/1 ratio. I need to capture about 7 megs of files including the ones below. Maybe some of you can help me out since I could not get ROB B. to raise my access. Don't expect much (if any) of the stuff below to appear if I can not get another password. 2J DEMOS --> Areas 150, 151 The Music Connection 1-214-xxx-xxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 47 CYBRDEMO.ARJ 264k 12-03-92 0001 Simple VGA/MOD demo by KLF 75 EXPOSURE.ARJ 149k 02-25-94 0007 New demo called Exposure! from MindStream. 89 FLYBY.ARJ 390k 05-01-92 0002 Cool landscape flyby with adlib and midi 91 FREAKYOU.ARJ 66k 11-17-92 0002 An Anti-Access Denied demo by -=Official 93 FROGGER.ARJ 157k 08-14-92 0000 Another strange demo by Xanthese 01 HARDCOR2.ARJ 63k 03-03-92 0001 VGA and SB demo 02 HC-SB.ARJ 53k 03-03-92 0000 VGA and SB demo 16 INTRO2.ARJ 336k 08-15-93 0000 Demo by Sonic PC, VGA 640x480, SB only. 18 INTR_ACT.ARJ 53k 10-03-92 0000 * InterActive * Proudly presents it's 21 JROB2.ARJ 779k 08-05-93 0002 John & Rob's Demo - by John Radcliff & Rob 24 LAMEDEMO.ARJ 73k 07-13-92 0002 The demo of demos! made by Mr. Lame of the 30 LOADERS.ARJ 864k 07-08-92 0002 A -TON- of different loaders and midi 33 MAD.ARJ 118k 03-02-93 0000 Mad Demo, VGA, Sound Blaster 54 MPSAJB.ARJ 109k 05-08-91 0002 Microprose AdLib demo 55 MPSXMAS.ARJ 148k 01-09-92 0000 Microprose Xmas demo 06 NITRO.ARJ 6k 08-12-93 0001 Very small demo of a rotating cube and a 10 NONAME.ARJ 11k 04-24-92 0001 Very simple vga demo 28 RAMPSCD.ARJ 634k 09-13-92 0000 Not a demo of Origin's soon-to-be-released 29 RAVEDEMO.ARJ 322k 10-17-92 0001 Really simple demo by KLF, nothing more 34 REDDWRFD.ARJ 375k 02-14-94 0013 Stereo music / high resolution graphics 36 REFLEX.ARJ 493k 08-08-91 0000 Cool anim & sb combination demo, but 40 SANTASIA.ARJ 21k 01-04-93 0001 Demo from holland, VGA/SB support 52 SJM386-1.ARJ 186k 06-11-94 0003 This is a demo that I wrote for our SAN 54 SNUBS.ARJ 237k 10-30-93 0001 AuTuMn present: Snubs, strange VGA / SB 77 TEXTOR.ARJ 41k 08-02-92 0001 1st demo by Xanthese, really only 81 TNEWYEAR.ARJ 136k 05-16-93 0000 New years demo from tncs 82 TNT_CORR.ARJ 287k 01-10-93 0001 "Corrupt" by Inertia - VGA/SB 92 TSTMSK.ARJ 939k 01-29-93 0000 Cool demo from The Supremacy Team, VGA/SB 27 ZDEMO.ARJ 187k 03-01-92 0000 VGA & PC-Speaker demo H Intro areas: 21 JUBILEUM.ARJ 24 L_DESIGN.ARJ 25 MADINTRO.ARJ (stuff not on MC) OTHER DEMOS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BUT DON'T GROUP DEMO SIZE/DATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVISION Toungue of The Fatman ARKHAM ARGRO NAUTS 0230 kB 03/93 BINARY POETS Poetry Emotions BINARY POETS BIP-XMAS'92 BINARY POETS Random Demo BITBLASTERS HELP! 0138 kB 02/93 BYTE BUSTERS HELP!
