Neoplasia is probably a German demo group, under the leadership of Ernie. Felony (1996, 21.07, Multifile Demo). code: Toxic, Fireball, Viscid, Skill, gfx: Ernie, Gourment, music: Fireball. Released for the Dresden 96 party. review: Oh dear. This dreadful IRQ-loaded demo fails miserably mostly on the "strength" of its awful soundtrack. There are a few OK effects on offer, most notably tha plasma and fire ones, but nothing exceptional enough to keep you interested in spite of all. Some of it is just meaningless, like scrolling the exact square root of 2 across the bottom of the screen (500 decimals :). What the hell is that supposed to do, give mathematicians a hard-on? The design also sucks, so there's no helping this one. There's a couple of almost-ok logos by Ernie though, making him the only one leaving this show with some dignity. This was the group's first ever trackmo. A selfcoded note is attached (code: Toxic, gfx: Viscid (pic), Ernie (char), music: Gourment) that is marginally better than the demo. [glenn] Network (NET) ------------- NOR> Matcham (code), Tony.

We're Back (File, 2 parts). code: Blaster Inc., gfx: ripped, music: ripped. review: Has even less to offer than On The Top, with two very nearly identical parts! No use bothering with this. Ranger was announced as a new member. No release date. [glenn] The Real Thing (1988, 01.02, File, 3 parts). code: Merlin, gfx: ripped, music: ripped. review: This demo is quite uninteresting, and has more than a few things in common with On The Top, released the day after this. They share the same intro, and one of the tunes were used in both demos! Uninteresting. [glenn] On The Top! (1988, 02.02, File, 4 parts). code: Blaster Inc., Merlin, gfx: ripped, music: ripped. review: Another typical demo of its time, with no extraordinary routines and ripped graphics and music.
