-The game uses a similar graphic technique to the [[tool:hardware:Amiga]] demo //[[wp>State_of_the_Art_(demo)|State of the Art]]//, and they share a programmer, [[person:Paul Endresen]] (AKA: Lone Starr). The developer, [[organisation:Funcom]], was founded by, and hired many people from the European demoscene.\\  +The game uses a similar graphic technique to [[wp>Spaceballs_(demogroup)|Spaceballs]]' [[commodore_amiga|Amiga]] demo //[[yt>89wq5EoXy-0|Start of the Art]]// (NB: flashing graphics), and they share a programmer, [[Paul Endresen]] (AKA: Lone Starr). The developer, [[Funcom]], was founded by, and hired many people from the European demoscene.\\  
-The menu background copies the 'dancing girl' motif found in //State of the Art//, made by tracing pre-recorded video with vectors. In //Winter Gold// the course graphics use the same technique, though the traced video in these cases was originally 3-D. It's one of the most interesting looking SNES games: the graphics look like a jumbley [[tool:hardware:PlayStation]] game, and the sparse, considered use of colour and lighting recall //[[mirrors_edge|Mirror's Edge]]//. Effectively the game is just sprites on a streaming background (though one created in real-time--as incredible and contradictory as real-time and streaming seem to be) but feels much more alive than that.+The menu background copies the 'dancing girl' motif found in //State of the Art//, made by tracing pre-recorded video with vectors.
