Posted an animation test for a video done entirely on an Apple //e. There's also some new stuff in the music section.

Do you happen to have this ask an Apple II disk image? I'd be happy to plug my IIc into my vid-capture system and get a better quality recording.

What's that music that comes on around halfway through? SID is a great soundchip, but not THAT great. Was that the original soundtrack as composed?

Sorry, the original artwork is lost. All I have is that old test tape. The first half of the sound track is recorded from the C-64 Epyx video game. The second half has some embellishment done in GarageBand. I can't take credit for any of the drawings. Those are done by Vince Collins and Donna Steiner. The movie software and big box o' RAM would have to be recreated as well, but don't let anyone tell you QuickTime's little postage-stamp movies on 68030 Macs were the beginning of multimedia.

That "embellishment" is actually rather fun. You should offer that as an .mp3 hint hint.
