Atari ST Demo / Intro [055] Walk Into The Future 2 by Xenex Demozone 68000


I finally had some time to capture some other demos to mix in with the dump of TDA cracktros.  Here is the 'Walk Into The Future 2' by 'Xenex Demozone.'

A nice animated walker, whose walking speed can be sped up or slowed down with the arrow keys, is shown close to the end of the capture of this demo.  It also has a scroll text where the text scrolls up instead of across the bottom of the screen, along with ST chip music playing in the background.  As is stated in the scroll text, the colors are quite rough here, but the screen is quite well done.  This is a 'port' of the Amiga demo 'Walk Into The Future', although port might not be the best word to define this demo, as the group had to overcome numerous hurdles to make this demo work on the ST.  Anyway, this is a very nice effort!
