MSX demo : KAOS II (sample demo)

Somehow I like to make programs with an 2 in the title.

I guess because when I release the first version , there is also room for improvements. 

Not this time. 

KAOS II was in fact an attempt to create an MSX version of 

a part of an Amiga 500 demo, called KAOS . 

It had simple fast moving animation in less colours and the music was a combination of maybe 4 samples, played in some kind of order. 

I got the idea to create an MSX version, when I manage the routine to create 13 different screens in SCREEN 0. 

And I had some nice samples, leftovers from the Dance House Demo, of course all sampled from Italian Dance Classics. What could go wrong ? 

After I finished  the demo 

I knew the answer already. 

I can't remember if I upload it to any MSX BBS ( the fastest way to get tons of MSX software for free, but you had to pay your phone bill).

Why was it so bad ? Take a look at the screenshots.

It was not easy to draw some stuff on a textscreen with only 40 columns and I ran out of idea's very soon. That's why... The only good part is the samples, but in general it's doesn't come close to what that Amiga 500 demo does easily. 

A couple months ago I tried to create better ASCII-art 

( that's what it is basicly ) in 40 columns for this demo, 

to give it a 2nd change. 

But no. Only 80 columns or more give you something 

you can recognize. 

So this KAOS II demo was my 2nd failure. 

After this I learned from my mistakes and in the next demo with Music Module samples all GFX were made by my MSX partner in EMP-SOFT, it was called "The Revolution Demo"...

And that is another story...

You can download my both failures ( KAOS II and Dance House Demo) on one disk at

Gavitex and Mediafire...

But I warned you !!!
