 1. Introduction
[---------------]

    Magic Dreams is back with another demo! After one year we finally
    succeded in releasing a new demo. We hope you like as much is we do.
    We worked about half a year on it. And we are quite satisfied with it.
    As usual, most work was done in the last few weeks and we are really
    happy to finish it now.
    Have fun watching it!



 2. Hardware & technial data
[---------------------------]
    
    This demo needs a least a Pentium 166 with a 3d-accelerator card.
    DirectX 6.0 must be installed because we use DirectX and Direct3D.
    Therefore you need a current 3d-accelerator card supporting alpha-
    blending (e.g. RIVA 128). The reason why we use 3d-accelerators is,
    that it is the standard and surely the future. Most groups use
    the hardware mixing of the Gravis Ultrasound, why not use hardware
    for drawing the triangles?
    For the best possible sound quality we use MIDAS 1.1.1. (C) by Sahara
    Surfers. The sound itself was tracked by cMAN using FastTracker II.
    The demo consists of about 5MB textures, 1MB 3d-scenes and about 20000
    lines of code (C++ and assembler). The demo is based up on our engine
    called MERLIN, which supports trilinear filtering, reflections, particle
    system, curved surfaces and colored dynamic lightning.
