Atari ST Cracktro [074] The Blade Runners from Action Service


So here is a rarity indeed.  Rarity in that I recently recovered this on a floppy dating back to 1991, and this intro had previously been missing from online content.

So here is a rarity indeed.  Rarity in that I recently recovered this on a floppy dating back to 1991, and this intro had previously been missing from online content.

Here we have a Cracktro from the Blade Runners that was attached to Action Service.  A scroller, a tune, a bouncing ball, a moving raster bar, and full screen display (no borders) are the components of this cracktro.  I do like it, especially the full screen aspect!

Now, about the recovery:  I found a box of disks that appeared to be a set of compacted disks created for my BBS by Appalachion Terror (yes, mispelled) in late 1991 and early 1992, a total of 20 in all.  Every disk had errors when I scanned them all in with a KryoFlux, so they all need cleaning.  I do not rememeber anything about these disks; they have almost all games, or ripped off from cracks, with a few demos.  Once I am able to give the disks a good clean, I will rip them properly.  Although, I am not too inclined to share these images due to their current condition, but I might remaster them using the art and music, or replace music where there was duplication.  This cracktro, and an intro to be posted shortly, were retrieved off the 20th disk.  The other demos on that disk already exist in the Fujiology archive.
