Happy new year!
Have a safe and cool 1997 :)


      Info:
               You've just been watching my interpretation of the
               new years eve fireworks at Sydney harbour australia,
               and yes, i have no life, i was watching them on TV 
               while i coded this intro :)

      Cool stuff:    'newyear 32'          // try to use 32 bit gfx mode
                     'newyear 24'          // 24 bit
                     'newyear 16'          // 16 bit
                     'newyear 15'          // 15 bit
                     'newyear FAKEMODE1'   // VGA truecolor fake #1
                     'newyear FAKEMODE2'   // fakemode #2 (no flicker)
                     'newyear FAKEMODE3'   // checked fakemode
                     'newyear FAKEMODE4'   // failsafe 320x400 mode

                     SPACE                 // hide the 'Happy new year'

      Note:
               The truecolor modes are a LOT faster than the
               fakemodes, so if you arent getting the true
               color modes, and you think your card should
               be able to set those modes, grab the latest
               version of UniVBE (now SDD53) from
               http://www.scitechsoft.com

               if the demo runs too slow on your computer
               its most likely your graphics card that is
               causing that - i get around 60-70 fps on my
               P133/dstealth, but on my DX2/66 i get around
               1fps!! ... this is purely the fault of the
               videocard, old ISA cards just cant hack the
               truecolor fakemode, go get a new gfx card ;)
