Atari ST Cracktro [019] Alien Cracking Formation [ACF] from Tangram

I will not have too many stories to write for 'CrackTros' (Demo screens that appeared as introductions to cracked video games) as I did not have very many of these back in the day.  I am mainly recording these now because they are art, and need to be preserved.  I will also attempt to transcribe the scroll text, which will be posted in a companion blog entry linked above.


Here is a simple cracktro from ACF from the puzzle game Tangram.  Hopefully I can do a game capture of Tangram in the future!

This video was captured on April 11, 2018.

The demo was played on an Atari 1040 STf, TOS 1.4, 1MB, equipped with a CosmosEX from Jookie.
A Best Electronics ST Monitor to VGA cable was used, connected to an OSSC 1.6 (processing the video in Line4x mode), with the output being captured by a Startech USB3HDCAP.

Video was edited with Shotcut.

Transcription of the Scroll Text:

ACF PRESENTS A NEW GAME BY THALION, CALLED -TANGRAM-.   THIS GAME HAS NO PROTECTION, SO THAT I DECIDED TO MAKE A ONE-FILE VERSION.   SORRY, BUT YOU CAN'T SAVE THE HIGHSCORES...   CREDITS FOR DIS LITTLE INTRO: -JACKY- (CODE), -AGENT T- (GRAPH), -MAD MAX- OF TEX (MUZAK).   BY THE WAY: THERE IS A DOC FILE ON THE DISK.   PRESS -SPACE- TO ENJOY THIS NICE GAME (WRAP)
