The tune is ok, and the last picture (conversion from original cover) is good.
Everything else is subaverage. Pictures looks like first sierra on line adventure games, text is full of mistakes, there's no flow, and it's simply lacking or interest or originality.

The Star Wars homage of TurricanII intro is much more elegant than this generic Hollywood/actionhero/MIB stuff.. But maybe this intro is a sarcastic critique of the decline of Hollywood action movies? :)

At first, I was happy to see at the show that the next demo coming up was from Smash Designs. Uhm but then,. it was just an intro for the game and it was long (Well,. my texts proove to be bigger than this though ;). I am surprised to see it taking the 2nd place too..

I was surprised that this came 2nd in the compo, probably just because of the group's name releasing it. :-\

Oh, and AEG showed me the first three worlds of the game which are ready, and I can assure you all that the game will kick some serious ass!

Must agree with Mermaid & CreaMD on this, but I hope the game itself becomes a real kicker!
So, atmosphere was good, the graphics just ok. Well, rather than a slideshow guys, how about some movement? In year 2004, I exspect an intro with movement!

The intro txt had many Gremlins walking ahead, but I guess that's because it was typed and written so in a rush for fast release? Turrican III will surely become great! AEG do you job well, please :) I want to see it out finally after soooo many years!!! :D :D

Mermaid I agree with you, but although it's naive, I really liked the atmosphere.

I don´t think it´s supposed to be a documentary on 31st century clothing, but the intro to a c64 action game. The stereotypical storyline is ok in that context imho.
