Two unreleased demos by IRS

August 26, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Two music demos by IRS has been spread recently by Asylum. We were waiting for a patched version of the first demo before posting this message, but it seems the patch won't be so easy to apply. So while waiting, here are both demos. They feature a bunch of chiptunes by Mad Max, Big Alec, Tao, and many other composers. The second demo offers more than 18 hours of music!

The first Beat Box requires TOS 1.0 to run. So it's not STE compatible. The second one seems to work fine with TOS 1.0 and 1.62.

Download Beat Box I
Download Beat Box II (one archive with 3 disks)

Random review

Archipelagos came out in 1989 and received rave reviews at the time for atmosphere, originality and speed of graphics. It's certainly a game I've never quite forgotten. Not heard of it? Read on then...

Did you know?

Did you know that there are some love messages in the TOS ROMs of the ST? In fact you can find the strings "Dave StaUgas loves Bea Hablig" and "JIM LOVES JENEANE" in all TOS ROMs with version number 1.xx and 2.0x!
