Battle Squadron demo
I remember back in the day a demo of Battle Squadron where a text was displayed a bit like in Copper Master.
Is this demo available somewhere? |

I found the demo but it is compacted with Bytekiller.
I don’t think that it a was like that when spread is there a version not crunched, maybe the original one ? |

I made a clean version ! https://eab.abime.net/zone/Battle%20...26%20Intro.adf So, Battle Squadron had a Intro,.. but they cut it for the Final release. (well its a bit long, but still; it is very well made for 1989. Some Nice music would have helped, to make it really sweet ) Same as Agony. There was a really cool Intro and Previews in Magazines praised it, for how cool it was. Even the rolling Demo of Agony is talking about this Intro. But it was sadly never released.

The Disk from above had a Bootblock Virus called "SystemZ 5.4".
Its a "Protector" and is "Harmless". https://www.vht-dk.dk/amiga/desc/txt/systemz.htm Would be interesting to know, when SystemZ 5.4 was first found.... Hmmmm, anyway, i am happy that a Intro to Battle Squadron even Exist Never knew that |

HA, stupid me, there is already a Install for the Battle Squadron Demo.
Nice I found also a few more sources for this Demo (without the "Virus") but all of them are crunched with Bytekiller. Last edited by Torti-the-Smurf; 17 December 2023 at 01:51. Reason: found a typo |

If this intro isn't on the original(non cracked) release of Battle Squadron
I would say it's a good candidate for h0ffman_TTE to reimplement the intro and 1-disk it! |

I was always curious about the missing Agony Intro.... Magazines praised it and the Rolling Demo talks about how sweet it is yet, it was never released .... |

Amiga version of Battle Squadron has black-white intro. Perhaps for good coder it can be possible to replace this intro with animated colour version:
[ Show youtube player ] Perhaps main problem will be integration Ron Klaren music with animated colour intro. Because no music intro will be not good enough. But perhaps Ross or h0ffman can made Battle Squadron deluxe edition on 1 disk. |

Not enough place on 1 disk to put this intro that is all.
