Nice clean interface and some classic tracks I can listen to Enigma again, Yay! Nice to see something new from you Codeman, thank you for posting it here.

I can't seem to find the dl link on the filefactory page

[Shockwave]

Sweet! It has Africa by Budbrain.

@Alieneye, you need to find the link that says "download for free" and once you've clicked that you'll be taken to a page where you can DL the file.. It took me a few moments to find the link myself.

Cool. Nice music.

[benny!]

Thanks to shockwave for this nice "dl-tutorial" - I also downloaded your production ...

The interface is very original ... I really do like the ipod-style. This is definately a good idea.
The choice of music is IMHO opinion excellent ... I am really a fan of every single track. To
show a screenshot related to each track really bring back the memories of the good old
time.

Here are some ideas of possible improvements for a maybe upcoming next version:


- Make the window moveable
- Add a minimize/maximize icon
- Add some more fx. At least a scroller or add more screenshot of the original production
so that you have a little kind of slideshow of the actual demo
- Once you have open the menu you should be able to close it just by clicking on menu again
- there should be the possibilty to play the whole playlist at once - now every track loops endlessly


Anyway ... I like it ... especially of the design and the well chosen tracks. And the cpu-usage is also
good and not too wasty.

Thank you for your comments and im glad they are positive ones 

Ill look int 1 or 2 things you mention Benny! but my coding aint really capable af the above lol


After finishing this i was thinking of doing a Game music version.

As for a scroller , i did actually have a scroller giving the credits for each instead of the little info gfx but it was slow and jerky so scrapped it.

Good job codeman. All those tunes brings back Amiga memories. I agree with everything Benny said.

one word: A.M.A.Z.I.N.G !  Ok, it's not perfect but I really enjoys it!!
I second Benny about the constructive remarks he made.

I love it so much, I'd like to upload it on Intro-Inferno, even if it's twice the allowed size

Do you mind if I host it on intro-inferno? 

[CoDeMaN]
