The Law 1997, 28.12, AGA 40k Intro.
Production: Wipe, Zif, Virgill.
15th in The Party 97 40k intro competition.
review: The Law came as a positive surprise, given how long down the
list it finished at TP. I wasnt expecting much of anything, but got an
above average, technically interesting little intro. It even contained an
effect I havent seen before a phongshaded voxel! Other cool effects
included a shaded plane flying around. If these guys get a genuine
graphician aboard to create some actual palettes for them! they could
very well be headed for bigger things. Not bad at all.
The intro opens with a quote from Aleister Crowley, and continues with
a shaded pentagram. These guys obviously do not go to sunday mass a lot.
Clearly intended for a faster processor than mine. glenn

Theres also an intro, accessed by pressing the left mouse button during

Wrath Designs was a swedish demo group, formed late 1994 by Blackdroid and
Zealot from the c64 section of the group. Their first release on the amiga
were two pictures for the graphics competition at The Party in december 94.
WD has never been dead, and still a sleeping group on the amiga platform.
Thanks to Blackdroid for information!
1995 - Swedes Odie music, Wolf gfx and Kama gfx all joined for X-
Trade, probably as early as january this year.
1996 - Elixir music, Dep code and Neuro gfx from dFX were all
recruited this year, ending the existance of that group. After the release
of the excellent demo Gyrate 08/96 at Assembly 96, Elixir and Dep moved
on to join Stellar. Swedish coder Crilla joined just after Assembly.

11th in The Assembly 96 demo competition.
review: Now, this aint half bad! Its a little different in the sense of
the way things are designed, which I suppose is what made it end up as
low as it did in the competition. This is clearly a better production
than its ranking would suggest! All routines are good and fast, and they
all look good. As mentioned earlier, the design is unorthodox, and this
gives the demo a very special feel. Its hard to describe, but its a
good one : Graphics by Neuron and Wolf contribute a lot to the feel of
the demo, and its clear that they both contributed to the look and feel
of the finished product. However, the picture of the girl in the white
top by Wolf carries the text Wolf 96, which is totally wrong. Ok, so
the pictures been given a new frame, but he still competed with it at
The Party 94, where it was called Light...
Theres not enough memory to run this demo on my system with just 4mb
of fast, but this is probably because I use 512k of the mem to map ROM to
fastmem for a speed increase. Vanilla 4mb systems should work. glenn
