Comments About Tron
Original:
to BATYA: Pont a tesom egyetlen programjat - az ENTERTAINERT - kellett beleraknod a programodba? (TRON) Raadasul nem is jo a ritmusa. Ha nem tudsz egy normalis zenet irni, akkor hagyd ki a programodbol!

Translation:
To Batya: Did you have to include my brother's only program - The Entertainer - in your program? (Tron) On top of that, the rhythm isn't even correct. If you can't write a normal tune, then leave it out of your program!


Intro
As mentioned by the author in a 2008 scene.hu forum comment:
[...] a REVS elején is a járgány, amelyik a nyári olimpiából lopott közönség előtt “gurul” :)

(Translation: "The vehicle at the beginning of REVS "rolls" in front of the audience stolen from Summer Events)
Part of the intro graphics (crowd and stairs) is taken from Javelin of Summer Events.

The car was copied onto graph paper from a magazine (possibly Mikroszámítógép Magazin around 1987) and hand colored.
