| | Description And Author's Comments | TLC is the author of this digi intro, which has been apparently coded in order to become a part of the Crackers' Demo 3 cooperation megademo, although another TLC contribution to that demo is actually present. A straight evidence of its involvment with CD3 is the JMP $F100 as ending consequence of pressing the spacebar, a jump to the memory location where the demo loader resides. On a first thought, in the time when the original Crackers' Demo 3 disks were missing, it had been assumed that this would have been a sort of hidden part in the megademo.
TLC says about this demopart:"All that I can remember that I was probably not in my best moods around those times :-D , so my stuff kind of sucked, from a point of view. Things for sure: I remember having sent stuff for CD3; I clearly do remember having converted this part sometime in the spring of 1992; I don't know when I finally sent it in for inclusion in/to CD3, maybe summer or autumn of 1992; I certainly did not negotiate about some of my stuff to become "hidden part. What I already did not remember is that I had in fact sent two parts for CD3... Ultimately, I'd also make a wild guess that the part was accidentally left out from the loading chain.".
Both the logo by Apollyon/CTX and digis by Cycleburner/CTX come from the 4th part of Top Priority demo on C64. As descripted in the scrolling text, even the "CNS" logo is a sort of remix of the other logo shown on the C64 counterpart. |

| | Unreal's Comment | In a chat dated 2022-12-10, Unreal has admitted that he knows what this demopart is, and what's the story about it.
"We were at Steve's HQ at that time, there were him and some other SCN members. We'd just received from TLC's his own demopart. This new part came with another snail mail some days later, and Steve refused to include it too, for three good reasons: 1, it has been sent after the deadline was trepassed; 2, the new part didn't fit into the left space of the demo's disk because the size must stay within three disk sides; 3, he basically didn't ask for further parts, in this case from TLC. Steve assumed certain criteria to assemble the overall megademo, and following the same criteria several other parts had been left out, mostly digi parts, e. g. by NST. He didn't want more of those, that was the actual situation, and the further demopart from TLC represented one from that type. Keep in mind that a lot of digi demos did flow in the scene at that era, so people were quite bored about that. On the other side, he wanted a quality release for Crackers' Demo 3 with cool codes, not digis only, and that wasn't a fun part, just some nice logo and scroll + digi, nothing extra, so he banned that out." |
