A rare FOE demo where most of the graphics are done by someone other than The Phantom and he really starts to focus on code.  Alter Ego's graphics shine, The Phantom's code is clever and creative.  This is one of the better demos in the FOE catalog.  Keep It Oldschool!

FOE does it again with this massive multi-pager.  There are some simple pages, and some not so simple pages.  Probably the highlight for me was page 6 - it requires a 128 to run, as its routines require 2Mhz mode.  Keep it Oldschool!

"Morbid" By Forces Of Evil

The video starts with a couple of noters that were on the disk.  If you don't care to read them, skip ahead.  First up is an intro page with some standard effects.  The demo builds, each page getting more and more complex, culminating in a CRAZY giant plasma logo flex thingy.  Amazing work for a two-man team.  The Phantom does it again.  Keep it Oldschool!

The logo motion on the first page is mesmerizing, and they follow this up with a vector scroller page featuring the green guy.  The third page brings us a really inventive logo swing.  This is followed by a vector page, and then the end credits.  Keep it Oldschool!
