...finding this, it was not so difficult to pull all the screens out and turn them in to regular programs. this completed, i sent off my "cracked" version to Tex (i think it was to -ES- exactly). A month or so later, a full blown boxed copy of "Chambers of Shaolin" (Thalion Software) arrived as my "prize"!

Great ST Days...

[red456x]

the boot sector of the demo (or maybe it was the scrolltext - can't quite remember) had some text along the lines of "if you crack this demo, send a copy to Tex...". This was a non-standard disk-format, 11 sectors per track or something (hence the built-in copier). The first track of the disk was your usual obfuscated assembler, all manner of tricks to try to stop you understanding how it worked. What let it down is that the first screen was left completely unencrypted somewhere around track 60.

Just watched a Family guy episodes where they sing a song that sounds just just like this. Took quite some time to work out that it was this song, the original is called "brand new day" from a musical called The Wiz.

you should post the overscan screen of the "Amiga Demo" by The Exceptions. That was always a favourite of mine - love the music. I've been waiting to see that again since you started uploading these :)
