   Aggressive Party is an Atari (ST/TT/Falcon030) Party, but there are
   also some Amiga- and PC-competitions. It is organized by Aggression
   and Future Crew.
   Falcon030 will be strongly visible at the party - Thanks to ION Finland.
   They may also have some new exciting Atari hardware to demonstrate.

   Note for Finns only: Suomalaisille on Falconista oma Party-tarjous.

   Where and When?
   ---------------

   The Party will be held in Europes biggest indoor amusement park called
   Planet FunFun. It is located in Kerava, Finland, approximately 30 km
   north of Helsinki. It starts on Friday, 8th of October at 16:00 and ends
   on Sunday, 10th of October at 18:00. We can let foreign visitors to
   enter as early as 12:00 on Friday, because usually ships from Sweden and
   Germany arrive in Helsinki in the morning.

   Planet FunFun is an excellent place for demo-parties. We have rented a
   big hall for you and your computers and a smaller separate hall for
   sleeping. There are also showers next to the smaller hall. And lots of
   free parking space.

   We have also an "amphitheather", in which we can show competitions and
   movies on a big screen. There is a couple of hundred seats, so this time
   you don't have to stand to see anything.

   The best thing though is: The whole amusement park is at your use. The
   gadgets in it are in use only 10:00-18:00 Saturdays and Sundays, when it
   is open for normal audience also, but we have some special arrangements
   with it's restaurants. (Which serve also alcohol...) There will be food
   and soft drinks available 24h, and you can also buy proper meals at
   19:00-21:00 from a restaurant called Harlin's Diner. Alcohol will also
   be served at Harlin's diner at 21:00-24:00, but only for those who have
   had their 18th birthday...

   Also the arcade-games in it are at use 24h, as well as "Nintendo Land".

   Restaurants are of course open also when the amusement park is open for
   normal audience.

   How to get there
   ----------------

   It is very easy to get to Kerava. If you come by ferry to Helsinki and
   have a car with you, just follow the sings "Lahti" which leads you to
   the Lahti-highway (E75 or 4). Then turn off the highway at Kerava, and
   follow the signs "Planet FunFun". We will also put some Aggressive Party
   signs there.

   If you come by ferry and don't have a car with you, you can come by
   train. Take train with label "K" and get off at Savio-station (the one
   before Kerava). You will stand right in front of Planet FunFun. We will
   arrange a transport service from Helsinki to Kerava for computers, so
   you don't have to carry your monitor with teeth when you walk to the
   station. More about that will be in the final invitation (Atari ST).

   For those who come by plane it is also easy to get to the Kerava, since
   there is bus from airport to Kerava. To make your travelling even more
   easier we can come and fetch you from the airport if you just inform
   us beforehand. It will cost you only 10 FIM.


   Entrance fee
   ------------

   Entrance fee is 100 FIM.
   Lockers are available for you without any extra cost.


   Competitions
   ------------

   There are competitions for Atari, PC and Amiga, and a music (module)
   competition for all computers, since protracker mod-format is so widely
   used accross the platforms.

   In all competitions we will have an initial jury consisting of us and
   our sponsors, which selects the best 20 productions in every competition.
   Then the final jury consists of the authors of these productions.

   DEADLINE for all competitions is at 14:00 on Saturday, 9th October, 1993.


   Atari competitions

   As our main interest is in Atari, most of the competitions are for it.

   Rules:   Demo must work on an STe with 2 Mb of memory.

            Autobooting is a must.

            Demos must be previously unreleased. Released previews
            do not bother us.

            One group may attend with several demos.

            We don't suggest you to attend with an unfinished demo, but:
            The demo must be either released OR you have time to finish
            it and you will get the possible prize after you have sent
            us a finished version.

            and any other competition arranged by us or our allies.
            Nobody plays with Aggression.

            If a copied picture gets thru our inquisition and wins
            something, the author of it is obliged to return the prize
            to us when we will notice the cheat.            

            Pictures must be previously unreleased material.
            Everyone should leave min. 3 different stages of his work to
            the jury, so they can make sure the picture is not a copy.

            Picture must be IFF, PI1 or executable.
            Pictures will be shown on the STe.
            We will make a slideshow of all qualified pictures.

            You don't have to be an Atarist to take part - just remember,

   Prizes:  1. 1500 FIM

   Falcon competitions
   -------------------

   Falcon competitions will be held if there is enough interest.
   Please contact us beforehand.


   PC competitions
   ---------------

   On the PC we have only one competition, the demo/intro competition.
   For those groups who didn't have their demo ready at Assembly'93,
   this might be a very good opportunity to show it.

   The demos will be shown on a 33MHz 486DX with 2MB of RAM and a Tseng
   ET4000 VGA card. The demo has to work with either a Sound Blaster Pro
   or a 1MB Gravis UltraSound card. The sound has to work with I/O
   address 220 and IRQ 7 with SB Pro and with the environment variable
   set to 240,1,1,11,7 with Gravis UltraSound.
   
   When you bring your demo on a disk to test it on the competition
   machine, you must also have a piece of paper and a textfile which
   clearly explain the settings (autoexec.bat, config.sys, etc.) your
   demo requires in order to run. If you don't do this, your demo won't
   be shown.

   All attending productions have to be previously unreleased.

   One group can attend with several demos.

   If the demo is not finished at the party, you can't get the prize
   until you send the final spreadable version of it to the PC organizers.


   Prizes:  1. 2500 FIM
            2. 1000 FIM
            3.  500 FIM

            value of the whole prize will still not be less than this.


   Amiga competitions

   There will be only one Amiga competition; after all, this is an Atari
   Party... Amiga graphicians can try to make their pictures with a smaller
   amount of colours this time...

   Amiga demo/intro
   ----------------

   Rules:   You can attend with an intro or a demo. (Word demo means also

   Happening at the party...
   -------------------------

   Rave! Friday 23:00-24:00, Teque-in-concert Friday 24:00->
   Movies will be shown on big screen.
   Various not-so-serious competitions, like hard-disk throwing etc.
   We will sell party-socks and -shirts as usual.


   Other rules
   -----------

   To give everyone a wrist-strap which indetifies you as a visitor at
   Aggressive Party and also indicates whether you can buy alcohol or not,
   we have to check your identify certificate. If you don't have any ID
   with you, you will get "red" strap and you can't buy alcohol from
   restaurants.

   You can buy alcohol at our Party, but this doesn't mean you are allowed
   to make trouble, neither you are allowed to drink your own liqueurs.
   We do not hesitate to contact police. A little note to those who have
   had a contact with police during Assembly '93... we know your names and
   will not let you enter.

   Also selling food, disks or hardware is forbidden. This doesn't mean
   we have very high prices for these, in fact, we will sell disks on
   non-profit basis, and the food in restaurants is very affordable.
