Intro Scroller Text
"ATTACK OF THE MUTANT CAMELS" +3 - FIXED/PAL+NTSC/SIDCARD VERSION - RELEASED BY LUCA/FIRE. ORIGINAL VERSION BY LLAMASOFT/HES, CONVERTED ON +4 BY ULRICH HECHT. ONCE A DAY, SURFING THE WEB, I SPOTTED OUT HTTP //WWW.EMULINKS.DE/WORDPRESS/ BLOG, MAINTAINED BY HERR HECHT. I NEVER HEARD ABOUT HIM, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PASSIONATE +4 USER. HE CONVERTED TWO EASY C64 GAMES, OFFERING BOTH ORIGINAL AND CONVERTED ASM FILES ON THAT BLOG. PARTICULARLY, THIS IS THE USA RELEASE OF THE OLD JEFF MINTER'S CLASSIC "AMC" PRECURSOR OF "MATRIX" SPREADED ON A CARTRIDGE(!). UNFORTUNATELY, IN THIS VERSION HE TURNED ON THE 5TH BIT IN $FF07, THEN PROBABLY CHECKED THE GAME ON AN EMULATOR IN WHICH THAT FEATURE WASN'T INCLUDED YET. THOUGH THIS, THANKS GUY FOR THIS CONVERSION! I TRIED TO CONTACT YOU BUT NO ANSWER YET. THIS GAME HAS BEEN A GOOD PRETEXT TO OUTLINE A HEALTHY INTRO CODING SESSION (IDEA CODE MUSIC AND ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS BY ME, LOGO BY COYOTE/CNS), I'M SO PROUD OF THIS LITTLE PILE OF CRAP! IN THE AFTERNOON I HAVE BEGUN TO WONDER ABOUT A STARFIELD (I NEVER DID ONE BEFORE) AND IN THE EARLY NIGHT ON MY MONITOR, A CHARBASED 8 LEVELS PARALLAX STARFIELD WAS MOVING! AGAIN, THANKS TO INGO AKA DEGAUSS/TEK FOR HIS REVELATIONS ABOUT SURE SHOT RASTERBAR TIMING. AND NOW, IT'S TIME TO SEND SOME GREETINGS...

Crack Intro Goofs
This is the original version of this crack intro.
In this first version, the tiny 'C=+4" tags bounce, and the starfield has all moving layers with 1px stars only. Under the big 'C' in the logo, char colors are badly set.
There are bugs in both flashings: the leftmost 2x2 characters don't go to black one the flash has gone, and the coloured flashing on the 1x1 text just below suddendly comes instead of phasing in.

The timeline for this crack intro is:
Attack Of The Mutant Camels 1st original version
Centripod 1st original version
Exploding Fist +5MD! 2nd version
Rockstar Manager +2! 3rd version NTSC bugged
Matatu GDF 3rd version NTSC bugged
Castle Master +3DF! [PAL/NTSC] 4th version
