More stuff for Akira addicts

Akira is known to many people. Some of them happen to be demo makers or musicians or whatever.
Here's a list of links to various things I found on the net. I also put links to other Akira related WWW pages or FTP sites on this page:


Sites:

Sebastiaan Schoonebeek's AKIRA page
A fan-page with many useful info from the Akira production report. There are data files from the characters, a bunch of pictures and more interesting background information. Enjoy.

Akira - Ring of Destruction
Now here is a web ring dedicated solely to Akira. If you maintain an Akira-related site you might consider to join it. Also a resource for more Akira pages for surfers.

Akira Stuff
Here's a lot of Akira related binaries collected from all over the net and a couple of links. Mostly, there are many audio clips in WAV format plus an extra section concerning the soundtrack.

Akira Y2K
On this site there are pictures combining Akira artwork with some fancy colors and distortions.


Files:

Akira sound wad for Doom2: Hell on Earth
Wads are files which can be added when you start Doom (2). They can patch usally graphics and sound. This one adds some (about 100) Akira sounds. Download it at a proper time: The file is almost 3 Megs long. Thanks to the net community to have relocated the WAD on the net for me. Here are some addresses:

The animeDOOM page has a description of it and the reason why it's so large. No good reason indeed. Here's a description by the authors which is quite fun to read. ^_^
Here's the link to ftp.hsrc.ac.za in South Africa.

Mod Music files: Akira Rave / Akira Rave II / Neo Tokyo
Be warned: the Akira Raves are completely hardcore! Some of the samples are taken from the Akira film e.g. the heavy drums from the title or the sound from the device which the doctor uses to view the power. I've finally found the files again and yet again (thanks to Charles Vestal and Atomic). Both of of them and even a new MOD Neo Tokyo are found on:

XM music file: Akira on Nitrous
A music file in the MOD-like .XM format. I haven't listened to this one yet. ^_^
akira.zip

"Cyclewars" graphic and sound demo for MS-Dos
This is a production of the french demogroup Distorsion (not Distortion). They used some pictures from the manga in their demo. It's quite worth looking for an Akira fan, so check it out. The size is 745k. You can get it from the main demosite at hornet.org or its mirrors:
ftp.uni-paderborn.d (Germany)
sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk (Great Britain)
ftp.luth.se (Sweden)
ftp.cdrom.com (USA)
ftp.hornet.org (USA main site)

Akira theme for Windows 95
It finally appeared on the web again: The Akira desktop theme. If you don't know what a theme is, the site where I found it, the Anime Desktop Themes page, can explain it much better than I could. Actually there's not only one but three of them:

1st theme
2nd theme
3rd theme
