That small intro was released at the BZH party this year in France by the only
Atari oriented member of the band JUST FOR FUN, who is firming under the PYJAMA
label on Atari, EXOCET.
EXOCET is a great grafician, he did a lot of stylish stuff as you can check on
his homepage and as you could see on his ST game called "LOMBRIC". So I was very
interested in the things he's bringing us with this small intro...
The intro itself starts with a rose background, surrounded by stars of a similar
colour. In the middle of the screen a white text displayer gives some short info
about the demo, meanwhile a kewl XLR8 chipsound is played in the background,
that was composed by the good old ISO of SENTRY.
The second screen shows an animated comic cat on the left side, running in your
direction. On the right side the text displayer comes up again, giving short
credits and on the second part it gives a beer bottle on the right side with the
credits on the left... Both things are presented on the same background as in
the intro.
That's all... meuh! No effect is coming up, just the desktop... Wont to write
much more here, just want to go over to the...
FINAL WORDS
"KITTY CAT" is an intro for modest people, who don't want to see some efx on
their screen. Therefore the intro features a cool blipping chip msx and some
stuff you surely can call design, mostly well chosen colours and a nice (but
unfortunately not originally done) animation... and last but not least nothing
more... just a thing to load one or two times and never again... It is a bit
disturbing for me to see more and more intros and screens like that. Ok, doing
something just for fun is one point, but doing something without any stuff that
entertains the people in front of the monitors is more or less senseless... I
can't believe that the ST freax are so modest now, to be happy about those
releases... I'm surely not...

originality... o5 % - Animation intros were done 1o years ago too...
effex......... o5 % - A text writer...
