COOL GIRLS was  announced as new "coding team" from  Slovakia, consisting of two
girls and you can see  their photo's on  the internet... But, after  all, do you
really believe in  this? Today, as the Atari scene is going smaller and smaller,
esp. from a  country that isn't  known for its big  Atari scene, now should come
a band working on Falcon and consisting of girls... naaah...

I for myself doubt this and there are a few reasons to do so.

Ok, this little production  doesn't offers much to talk  about. The intro starts
with a very ugly title screen, showing  a "Cool Girls" logo in changing colours,
some small line  vectors and  a vector area built  of dots. This all comes along
with some polka oriented module sound  and what to say, it's obviously a new try
to resurrect the starving fake demo scene on the Atari.

The next, and also final screen, offers a very slow fire effect, that isn't only
slow but also of  very low  quality for a  Falcon fire. It seems as some  pseudo
houses are burning down. On the upper  part of the screen  a slow text displayer
shows up  some stuff like "Sweety Buildings"... blabla. The  text is written in,
tata, Atari system font and burning away too.

There are even some greetings included  there, to Paranoid (who wrote some lines
about some special  slovakian productions in the last issue of Alive) and me, as
I wrote down my thoughts about the SATANTRONIC releases in the last UCM...

So try to imagine now who could stuck behind the "Cool Girls"... the range isn't
that big and the fire  reminds in his slowness to the first release of the "Blue
Fire" by  SATANTRONIC last year. Anyway, I  think I wrote  already too much here
and so we will go on with the last words...

...final words... "Sweety Buildings" stucks  itself  into the old  range of fake
                  demo's with its  ugly music and  dull "design". What  the demo
                  brings onto the the  screen tries to look as an usual demo but
                  fails in every range. Just one thing turned up in my mind...
                  This dull thing isn't meant earnest.

visuals.......  1o % - fonts, logos and chosen colours are sucky...
audio.........  2o % - some polka module, tastes are different, sometimes bad
effects.......  15 % - some dots, line vex, a slooooow fire effect
design........  1o % - can we call it oldschool? more fakeschool...
originality...  o5 % - for the strange music...

What to say... some people are able to do intelligent  fake demos, and there are
people who  are crying  for bad  reviews... the "Cool Görls" (whoever  they are)
surely belong to the second group.

                Greetings to "Sandra" and "Timea" - You're the best!
