³ Here it is, the official release of the 1st prize winner of the Takeover   ³
³ '98 intro compo. No changes have been made to the actual code whatsoever.  ³
³ "But the party version had no music!" I can hear some people scream now.   ³
³ The point is it did. It just didn't play since the organizers had the      ³
³ brilliant idea of running the 4k's on the computer with just a GUS (no SB) ³
³ installed, and as we could all hear GUS is not that good at playing adlib  ³
³ in native mode, now is it? They had planned to rerun the intro WITH music  ³
³ during the prize ceremony (that was, if they could get the adlib to work   ³
³ at all), but since the prize ceremony was already delayed a LOT, that did  ³
³ not happen. Well, too bad. I guess I would have liked to hear the music    ³
³ on a >2000watts music system, but hey.... the party still ruled!           ³
³                                                                            ³

³ Oooh, it's soooo very difficult. Go the the right directory, type PDREAMS, ³
³ slam ENTER, and tataaaa! It will work! No vesa needed, no windows wanted   ³
³ (although it will probably run just fine with it), adlib compatible sound- ³
³ card optional. And if you are really starting to hate my cute little text- ³
³ mode intro, you can even press ESC and skip it. No other parts of the      ³
³ intro are skippable, though.                                               ³

³ You might ask what the future will bring. Well, I am already working quite ³
³ hard designing Purple Dreams 2. It will contain effects that are totally   ³
³ different from those in Purple Dreams (that's why I don't mind releasing   ³
³ all sources) and hopefully some nice designish elements. I just hope that  ³
³ when I release it (maybe at Wired?) there is some competition, since that  ³
³ would make the compo's a lot more exciting. So what are you waiting for?   ³
