Hi everyone,

Long time, no release, but here's a small blast from the past: the 1988 North Star - Megademo 1.

Reverse engineering this in IDA Pro took a while, but it was worth it.

Controls:

    F12: Toggle the CRT shader (in case you're not feeling nostalgic).
    F11: Toggle fullscreen (highly recommended).
    Shift+F11: View profiling information, including cycle counts (for those who care about such details).
    You can quickly switch between the parts with the arrow keys left, right, or with the keys 1 -> 8.

I'll tidy up the code directory and ensure all image data can be regenerated from the original ripped graphics before uploading the source probably to my private Git server or maybe GitHub if I feel adventurous.

That's all from me for now. Attached is the zip with the remake, plus a UPX-packed version for anyone who enjoys compressed executables.

Enjoy (or don't).
