Silly things you did back in the day.

Post by stephen_usher »

Back in 1988 Sinclair QL World had a competition to make a promotional looping demo for the QL and I entered with this rather over the top one written in SuperBASIC, which was merely a slideshow held on a RAMdisk...

Yes, the comment about the Amiga was a bit over the top, as was noted in the magazine when it was one of the runners up.

P.S. See page 27, September 1989 issue. Yes, the competition started in the May 1988 issue took over a year to produce the result!
