KNOCKOUT PRESENTS:

(Silence of the Lamers)

Well here's our 1st demo I guess. I mean, we did do something before,
all those Blackmail intros ya know and that Jackpot crap which was
suposed 2 be a demo ;-)
Anyway we get older and wiser but we're still as K.O.-tic as we've
always been. So this is the result.
Well, you probably won't see many new effects, just good old Phong
shading, 3D plasma or texture mapping. Hope you'll still enjoy this
uh... new kind of demo.

Hardware requirements:
"Das Schweigen der Lamer" should run on a 386 with 560 KB of free
base memory. If you wanna hear music, you need a soundcard (GUS or SB)
and about 1 MB of EMS. Well, if you really wanna enjoy all parts of this
demo, you should have a 486/33 or better. But I guess, most people do.

And if you don't find yourself on a psychologist's couch after watching
it, you can contact us, of course:

Maybe we should introduce ourselves now:

Surfin' Bird:
Our top-of-the-line GFX artist and asshole 4 all situations. Don't take
him personal or you gonna have serious inferiority complexes. He's doing
his civil service at the youth hostel "Auf dem Stintfang" in Hamburg.
You might meet him there. By the way, he's an excellent painter, really.
He and I founded the diskmag BLACKMAIL in 1993.

Smartbeat:
"I've tried something", that's what he says when he's just composed
another excellent piece of music. He's a real Techno freak and the
best Techno is his own (at least, I think so). By the way, he's barely
16 years old. I guess you gonna HEAR more about him... or BY him :-)

Gilligan:
He's quite new in our team. Originally he wanted to become a coder, but
we badly needed another GFX man, so I convinced him 2 do artworx 4 us.
Actually, the results were very nice, so this is probably not the last
demo containing pictures by him.

Midnight:
Yep, that's me. I've done all the coding, so I'm the one 2 blame if
this demo crashes on your computer. Unfortunately I don't have so much
time 2 code anymore, coz I study medicine (that's right, medicine, so
take care of yourselves ;-) ) and that's kind of a full time job.

The End

For now...

"There's a hell of a good universe next door - let's go!"
