Of course we all knew some finnish guys who produced some nice invitation
intro called fishtro. But I think noone would expect such a shocker looking
out of his monitor. Unreal surely set some standards in effects (em, not in
design, but design wasn't important in 1992) and any other demo was just a
lamers aproach compared to the work of future crew. They clearly stated who
was the ruler in the pc demo scene.
Apart from watching unreal many times 1992 was the most unproductive year. I
mostly played games or coped with other things than coding.
In the second half of '92 pascal got some files called modules together with
the player wow1. As pc music mostly meant stupid speaker or adlib crap, we
were quite amazed by the sound quality produced by the mods. So we spent some
night downloading every .mod file from our local bbs. In the end I finally
got some trackers called fast tracker 1 and creator. At fist I thought
Creator would be the better choice, but it turned out that it was not usable.
