           : Back in early 1994, after DHS had released the     :
           : Conflict Falcon demo, work started on a co-op demo :
           : with the guys from New Beat.                       :
           :                                                    :
           : Starfall, which was the working title for the demo :
           : was never finished. There were a lot of graphics   :
           : made (now lost) for an intro sequence and multiple :
           : soundtracks from both Toodeloo and Split.          :
           :                                                    :
           : In May 1994, the "KupolenKårparty" was held and we :
           : decided to hand in a very early preview for the    :
           : compo that consisted of a few screens only. We     :
           : managed to drag it out for several minutes thanks  :
           : to the never ending shade-sprites. Sorry!          :
           :                                                    :
           : Those who have a good memory can see that one of   :
           : the shade sprite shapes were re-used in the        :
           : Demolition demo two years later. In fact the dot-  :
           : tunnel in Demolition was originally made for this  :
           : demo, but was not finished until Energizer of      :
           : Lazer fixed it up in the summer of 1995.           :
           :                                                    :
           :                                                    :
           : In turn of events, the demo and source codes were  :
           : eventually lost in crashed harddrives and Linux    :
           : installations. However, by pure luck we found a    :
           : very incomplete backup in late 2017 that consisted :
           : of a little bit of the sources, almost no graphics :
           : but most importantly; the PRG-file that was handed :
           : in at the party back then were in the backup.      :
           :                                                    :
           : Anyways, the curious who wondered what DHS were    :
           : doing all the time between Conflict and Demolition :
           : got one bit of the puzzle here :-)                 :
