Old (80s) Triangle Intro/Demo?

19 November 2003, 11:30

Hi all - I tried this request on Usenet with limited success, and one of the members of CSAG suggested I try here, so here goes...

Apologies if you've seen this request there too.

I'm looking for a particular intro that was published on one of a set of disks, possibly released by Def-Jam when they were in league with CCS. It's called the Triangle Demo, and unsurprisingly is by the group Triangle.

Those of you that may remember it would recall a set of triangle shaped sprites which followed a triangluar path around the screen, rotating as they went, around a large grey triangle logo. There were the obligatory horizontal blue vertically scrolling copper bars in the background and scrolly text in a chunky chrome style at the bottom.

It was packed onto a disk along with Hellfire Attack (helicopter game) and a copy of Ladybug (which was by E somebody, I don't know who. Also had the music in mod format to Blue Monday by New Order in the background).

Anyhow, I am after that Triangle intro, or the music that accompanied it failing that. (The music was not Blue Monday, btw - that was the music I remember from Ladybug. The music I'm after was composed by a member of Triangle, AFAIK).

Many Thanks,
D.

Thread bump, let's see if our local demo nut (_SoLO_

) knows anything about this.

Sorry, but although that's close, it's not it. The copper bars in the background were Blue (0, 0, 15) to black, and 32 pixels high (If I recall correctly).

The sprites were small triangles (red outline, greyish white interior) that rotated horizontally as they followed a triangular path around the main triangle.

I admit, I can see why that one could be mistaken for by my description :-)

Thanks for trying anyway!

Jeebus Krist!

How can yo remember which exact color the bars had, and how many pixels high they were?!

You are a memory-machine

Well, I'd propose him for the moderator of "Looking for a game name". Give him an offline version of HOL, and he'll learn it all by heart

(but don't let him out of the cage earlier, will ya

)

Ezek the musician? Only one I can find with an E at the start who was in Triangle

29 April 2004, 23:10

Ezek Could have the musician - doesn't ring a bell though. The scroll text went on about how this paticular intro was made for a party in... sweden/netherlands or somewhere of that nature, and was done in collaboration with another group whose name escapes me atm.

there's no screenshot but ftp://ftp.amigascne.org/pub/amiga is a big source for old demos.

Dunny · 04 July 2007, 15:34

Finally, after nearly four years of wondering if I was just plain mad, I've found the demo that I was after!

http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/break/...s.php?id=11395

At last!

And I do have to say, if it weren't for this very board, I would never have found it. Thanks all!

Edit: Would anyone happen to have a copy of this at all? I can't seem to find it!

That's wicked news that after all these years you've identified the demo

I had a look through my Tosec / Non-Tosec collection but unfortunately I don't have this...

I also searched through the following latest Tosec dats for "Triange" and "Beastie Boys" but couldn't find the "Megaman's Hot Stuff Intro" or "Another Demo/Intro Compilation" respectively (though I did find others like Gigademo, Gigademo 2 and Gigademo 3):

... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Animations and Videos (TOSEC-v2006-06-25_CM).dat
... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Music (TOSEC-v2006-05-09_CM).dat
... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Packs (TOSEC-v2006-05-09_CM).dat
... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Slideshows (TOSEC-v2006-05-20_CM).dat
... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Various - [ADF] (TOSEC-v2006-05-20_CM).dat
... Commodore Amiga - Demos - Various - [EXE] (TOSEC-v2006-04-08_CM).dat

Maybe this isn't in Tosecs...

Anyway, bipstar is the man. Let's hope that he has this for you in his Tosec / Non Tosec collection

If you can get it going (my god, I'd be absolutely gutted if that happened to me... As it is, I only lost 350mb of stuff when I "upgraded" to the PC), then I would be most grateful!

Cheers,

D.

My WD 200gb sata with 150gb of Amiga stuff on including my tosec set and all my non-tosec set is completely dead.. gonna make a new thread cuz I need to recover this lot!

Noooooooooo

Hopefully we can all come up with some suggestions concerning how to recover some data in your new thread. Of course it depends on how dead it is...

BippyM · 04 July 2007, 20:41

erm.. dead to the point of doing nothing

Dunny · 06 July 2007, 00:35

Sorry to hear that, Bippy :-(

I've mailed the webmaster of the site where the demo screenshot is hosted, and asked him if he can help - though I'm not sure if he reads his emails anymore, it didn't bounce.

Here's hoping...

If anyone else can help, I shall be most grateful!

While that specific disk isn't among my TOSEC stuff, a bunch of Triangle Demo packs are, of course I wouldn't have a clue if there's any chance it's on one of them, I'm just saying.

Here's what I got:

Magnificent 45 (1990-06-11)(Triangle 3532).zip
Magnificent 45 (1990-06-11)(Triangle 3532)[a].zip
Magnificent 65 (1991)(Triangle 3532)[b].zip
Magnificent 78 (1991)(Triangle 3532)[v Saddam 1].zip
Magnificent 78 (1991)(Triangle 3532)[v Saddam 1][a].zip
Magnificent 82 (1991)(Triangle 3532).zip
Magnificent 84 (1991-10-14)(Triangle 3532).zip
Magnificent 87 (1991-12-20)(Triangle 3532).zip
Magnificent 87 (1991-12-20)(Triangle 3532)[b].zip
Magnificent 88 (199x)(Triangle 3532)[b].zip

I know it's a long shot and it seems like they may all be too new, but then I don't know anything about this. If you're interested, I can upload them somewhere.
