Two unreleased demos by IRS

August 26, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Two music demos by IRS has been spread recently by Asylum. We were waiting for a patched version of the first demo before posting this message, but it seems the patch won't be so easy to apply. So while waiting, here are both demos. They feature a bunch of chiptunes by Mad Max, Big Alec, Tao, and many other composers. The second demo offers more than 18 hours of music!

The first Beat Box requires TOS 1.0 to run. So it's not STE compatible. The second one seems to work fine with TOS 1.0 and 1.62.

Random review

The graphics are a little more cartoon-like than those we have seen in previous versions of the game. For example, the ghosts have a jelly-like appearance with wibbly-wobbly underneath bits, and lets not forget their zombie-like eyes that humorously look up as you jump.

Did you know?

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
