          on your harddisk now lies a pies of art.

          the 3rd demo created by the solar group.

          our first demo featuring a 3d engine.

          our first demo featuring 32-bit color.

          our second demo released on a takeover.



          you had never been so high before.

          you had never felt so merry.

          you had never seen...


                      nicotine, for the mentally disturbed


          cherish it.



 ****** љ   љ    ФФФ system ФФФ   љ   љ ***************************************


          basic (15 fps):
          
          pentium 166m/200m
          18m ram
          8b/16b/24b videocard
          16b soundcard


          dream (70 fps *hehe*):

          pentium III 500m
          32m ram
          32b videocard
          16b soundcard


          note:

          18m ram is probably the absolute minimum :).

          the demo uses PTC 2.0.6 and MIDAS 1.1.2 and should run on most
          or all configurations. some videocards require UNIVBE to operate
          correctly in low resolution modes. some soundcards need extra
          drivers or may bug in some circumstances.

          if this demo does not play correctly on your machine, please
          contact us and tell where, how and what goes wrong.

          the solar group started in september, 1997 and was founded
          by druid and alchemist. king-chin joined within the next month.

          during christmas '97 we made our first release, a tiny little
          intro, coded by druid.

          at takeover '98 we released our first megademo, immortality
          (by druid and alchemist), as well as a raytrace and two
          multichannel entries (by druid).

          at bizarre '98 we released our second megademo, grip, a raytrace
          and two music entries (druid) and a music entry (king-chin).

          in april '99 slash joined the solar group.
