Xenogenesis: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:58, 8 January 2008

Xenogenesis is a MZX game demo showcase by Autumn Dreams. It is famous for being an en masse example of the demo curse: with the exception of Honor Quest: Special Edition, Darkness II and (in part) Honor Quest 2, none of the games showcased in Xenogenesis were ever released in a completed state. The same is true with rival company Draconic Creations's showcase The Dark Corner, where only Bernard the Bard ever made it to completion.

Xenogenesis featured:

Funky Monkey Vomit (graphical) - a 3D spinning Autumn Dreams logo using charsets created by a now missing tool.
Triple Parallax Starfield (graphical)
