#1 plas9    Plasma IX                 Matju/Trimaje  90 92 95 = 277

A: 90%
Definitely the winner.  I loved this plasma. One of the bests I've
seen. It only lacked variety. (It's all run-ons) Also it's a VERY used
effect.

B: 92%
This the winner. The best plasma (not really) I ever seen.

C: 95%
Best plasma I ever saw. I like everything in it! How do you do it!? :)


#2 sqwerz3  Sqwerz III                Matju/Trimaje  85 65 87 = 237

A: 85%
I really liked this effect because of the depth and characteristics of
a 3D environment. Its only bad points was the speed and lack of proper
depth characteristics. (Colours for example)

B: 65%
The only bad thing about this demo is the speed.

C: 87%
I like the concept it is interesting but in my opinion there could have
been a little bit of variety and the rotation could have been a little
faster. If these points had been ameliorated it would have been worth a
good 95/100 !!! :)


#3 nado_mbl Micro Blurred Light       Nado/Trimaje   70 70 87 = 227

A: 70%
I preffered this effect to the previous one.  I like diversity in an
effect, and this one has more.

B: 70%
I like the effect. I really don't like the strip lines (my point of
view). Yeah I know it's a short comment.

C: 87%
I really liked the effect that the colors do when you are watching it.
Good animation The other background option was a great idea. :)


#4 nado_bob Bob                       Nado/Trimaje   60 76 75 = 211

A: 60%
Me as a coder I like the fact that a product is nice and clean. I found
a few "unclean" situations. 1 - When it starts if flickers and we see
the picture drawn. 2 - I disliked the fact that when we pressed ESC, it
only exited when we were at an extremity.  I also think that scrollers
are a thing of the past.(Ones like this one anyways)

B: 76%
I like the neatness and it's pretty colorful. There nothing bad about
this demo. As I said you can't expect alot of things from a 256byte. By
the way, Bob really piss me off.

C: 75%
I like the scrolling, colors, concept. The only thing I dind't like is
that Bob doesn't cheer me up but bores me to death. Overall, it is good
work Nado! :)


#5 plasma   Plasma                    Fornax         40 39 50 = 129

A: 40%
Again it lacks "clean" coding. (When you exit you are not in the
default 80*25 text mode) I just hate it when that happens. A cheap
version of a plasma.  Even the "plasma effect" is to be desired. It
holds an ugliness I dislike in plasmas. If looks could kill eh?

B: 39%
This is a really cheap plasma.

C: 50%
I couldn't help it! I compared it with Matju's plasma! Yours is to
fast! Doesn't have as much colors in it! It is small of in size and
isn't as interesting as his! Even if I hadn't compared it with his It
is the mark I'd have given it anyways! :|


#6 static   Static                    Fornax         10 14 85 = 109

A: 10%
Once again it lacks "clean" coding. (The first thing I did when I saw
this boring effect was press ESC to get the hell outta there, but I
only got a damn *BEEP* *BEEP*) But then it looks "ok" upon FIRST few
secs of viewing.

B: 14%
It really suck!.

C: 85%
Good work! I love the animation! It is a cool concept but I don't think
your computer ever did that! :)


#7 looon_st Stars, Wonders of the 256 Psychoman/Craw 50 20 25 = 095

A: 50%
Not a winner, but is a fine effect. Without the flicker it would of
popped maybe 5-10 point more.  I always liked this effect.

B: 20%
The is the worst demo. Not very colorful. You should add color to it.

C: 25%
I really think that a guy from CRAW would have done something good
but I guess I was wrong! The only reason I'm giving it points is the
speed. Otherwise I can only call it CRAP!! :(


#8 psy_scro Psycho Scroller           Psychoman/Craw 10 10 01 = 021

A: 10%
Definitely the cheapest and easiest effect one could produce. 'Nuff
said.

B: 10%
This is the worst of all worst. It suck and you know why!.

C: 1%
I don't even know why the hell am I giving it a point! It would have
been fine in the 70's but wake up! we're in the 90's!! :( :(
