--- scene 1990 ------------------------------------------------------------

                        - 1990: Mental Hangover! -

1990 was the year the first trackmo, Scoopex' "Mental Hangover", was
released. This new concept had the music running through the entire demo,
which was loaded part by part to form a single presentation rather than the
separate parts people were accustomed to from the megademos. This new
concept quickly caught on, and by the end of the year there was practically
not a single

It was also a year where seemingly every demo contained filled
vectors. Of course, this was not all bad - we had great vector demos like
"The Hunt For 7th October" and "CeBit '90".

hardware - On the 24th of April Commodore presented the Amiga 3000 for the
first time, in New York. It was first presented in Europe at the Amiga 90
exposition in Basle, Switzerland. Simultaneously they also presented
Kickstart and Workbench (the amiga operating system) version 2.0. The first
cartridges for the amiga were presented, Action Replay and Nordic Power.

cancelled
---------
The Brainstorm and Alcatraz Eastern Party (14-16.04) was cancelled,
according to Brainstorm 'because of problems with Alcatraz and money'.
It was to be held in Aubonne near Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The event could
house up to 500 people. The promise 2 big screens, movies, good food, and a
professional dj. The party was first announced in Brainstorm's diskmag "Zine
#3" (02/90). Alcatraz held the party on their own in June, under the name
Alcatraz Pentcoast Party (same venue).

          Bloodsuckers Party.
-----------------------------
Held in Finland. Only about 40-50 people attended, and there was apparently
plenty of drinking. The date of the party is uncertain, but it was between
june and august.

The first price in the demo competition was the enormous (?) sum of 500 kr.

05-07.01  Phenomena and Censor Party 90.
----------------------------------------
Held in Arboga, Sweden by Phenomena (amiga) and Censor Design (c64). The
price in the c64 demo competition was a pink radio :) After the party,
Phenomena released a two disk party pack with the results. The date 7-9th of
january, published in Zine #4, must be wrong - the date above is from issue
#2 of Censor's own mag "Fatal News".
  The voting system (administered by Mr.Gurk/Phenomena on the amiga) was
kind of original; You should give points to the five best demos, in these
categories - code (0-12), design (0-12), graphics (0-8) and music (0-8).
This seems like a SERIOUSLY complicated system, don't you?

   13.01  Avenger Party.
------------------------
Held in Geneva, Switzerland. Apparently attendance was low, about 50 people,
and the amount of elite sceners were even lower. There were complaints about
the prices, which many felt were unreasonably high (about $9 for entrance).
Probably no new stuff was released at this party.

Held in Doncaster, England for the Amiga scene. About 70 people attended.
There was a bar serving soft drinks and beer. There were complaints that the
hall they'd rented was too small for the amount of people. There was also
another Magnetic Fields party this year, The Magnetic Fields Revenge party
in october.

--------------------
CEBIT90 exposition was held in Hannover, Germany. The Commodore stand was
totally plastered with stickers at the end of the day! There were also
actual policemen searching for members of Red Sector Inc. and Storm! The
afterparty was arranged by Apex this year. At about 10 o'clock in the
evening there was even a hardcore acid disco at the partyplace! Lots of
demos, as well as some cracks (Budokan, First Contact...) were released.
Entrance to the party was free. There was 6 demos (probably) in the demo
competition.

07-11.04  Cryptoburners, IT and Visual Bytes Party.
---------------------------------------------------
Held by the groups above at Drammen Gymnas in Drammen, Norway.
About 400 people attended. The party started at 14.00 in the day.
At 17.00 the Police arrived. They sieged the building and turned off the
electricity. When they entered the place, the first room they entered was
Fraxion's, where videocopying was underway. People panicked, and tried to
exit in any way possible. The Police then proceeded to announce the party
as cancelled. The reason the Police raided the place was that a software
distributor (BJ Electronics) had told the Police all about it.

 Information from party report in Digital 03/90.


12-15.04  Swedish Elite Easter Conference.
------------------------------------------
Held at a school in Gothenburg, Sweden by Fairlight (c64 and amiga), Horizon
(c64) and Miracle (amiga). 476 people attended, and there was an unusual
amount of foreigners at this party; people came from countries like norway,
great britain, germany, finland, holland and denmark. Facilities included a
food stall, video showing... Sadly, some party attendants misbehaved, and
after the party the school had several windows broken, a wall with a big
hole in it, and books had been thrown all around the place.
  Phenomena was tipped to win the amiga demo competition, but unfortunately
they didn't finish their demo on time. There were 27 contributions for the
demo competition. The rules were quite strict, for once: All entries had to
work on kickstart 1.2 and 1.3 with up to 8MB fast ram and Super Fat Agnus.
The demo competitions were shown on two tv screens, no bigscreen. Prices
were modest, a 14.4 modem for first price, 2mb ram for 2nd, extra diskdrive
for 3rd. C64 demo results severely wanted!

21-22.04  Red Sector, Alpha Flight and Spectral party 90.
---------------------------------------------------------
Held at a hotel in Endernach (Echternach?), Luxemburg for the amiga scene.
There were so many visitors at the partyplace, it was impossible to walk
around. There was an enormous amount of legends in attendance; groups and
persons like Success, Brainstorm, Red Sector, AFL, Surpeme, Spreadpoint,
Tristar Cascade, Abakus, Tarkus Team, Abyss, Thomas Landspurg, Irata,
Frederic Hahn, FFC, Dark and many more. Level 4 means it was a good party.
Probably identical to the RSI and Spectre party, mentioned in "Digital"
(norwegian paper fanzine).

Switzerland, and a copy party was to be held simultaneously in the same town
by Setrox and Subway. A big demo competition was promised. The party was
first announced in Zine #4, and then confirmed to be cancelled in Zine #5.


02-04.06  Alcatraz Pentcoast Party.
-----------------------------------
Held at the Centre Culturel du Chene in Aubonne, Switzerland. Alcatraz was
originally to have arranged this party (together with Brainstorm) in april,
but the original plans fell through. They still promise a huge demo
competition, a dj with light & laser show, three conference rooms, two
bigscreens, 24h video showing and a snack bar. Females were allowed free
entrance, was this the first instance of this?

07-10.06  Desaster Area and Freelance party.
--------------------------------------------
This was to be the first copyparty in South Africa, at a five star hotel in
the middle of Johannesburg, for the amiga scene. However, due to the Police
planning a raid on the party (presumably because of the groups' VHS swapping
activities), they were forced to relocate at the last minute...to a large
garage! :) The party was far from large, only about 30 people attended.
Darklight showed a pre-release of their shareware action game.


08-10.06  NEWS Party.
---------------------
This legal (which was almost unheard of in 1990) party was to be held at
Jugendbildungsstaette in Schoember, Germany. First announced in Zine #5.


   16.06  Quadlite, Defcon One, Onyx party.
-------------------------------------------
Held at Kulturwerkstatt Disharmonie in Schweinfurt, Germany for amiga scene.
It was supposed to be a legal party. Prices were 100DM for first place, 30DM
for 2nd.

-----------------------------
Held in a hotel in Weiz (Wels?), Austria by Energy (amiga) and Chaos (c64).
The party was plagued by theft of computer equipment - and even wine from
the hotel! Someone eventually stole an important key, and the hotel owner
answered with cutting the power! 15 minutes later the key was returned, and
things could continue as planned.

29.6-1.7  Amiga Conference 90.
------------------------------
Held in Glostrup Hallen outside Copenhagen, Denmark by Red Sector and The
Silents for the amiga scene. About 600 people attended. Everyone was seated
in the same room, for once...As all of you know, this was to become the way
to do it in later years. Referred to as the 'Summer Conference' in the TSL
demo. This party is HISTORICAL for several good reasons; it was here that
Tristar joined forces with Red Sector Inc. to create the longest standing
cooperation in history; TRSI. It was also at this party that legendary
cracking group Skid Row was born, and where Budbrain won with their classic
"Megademo". Brain Wave released their controversial 'utility' bootshop that
allowed you to install virus boots...

Full Force, Contex AMIGA, BOA, MFI and Cryptoburners. The party was open to
C64, Amiga and Archimedes users. Illegal copying was banned at the party.
There was a small lack of people on the party, probably due to the 'big'
Amiga Conference 90 being held in Denmark simultaneously. Reportedly about
250 people attended, but the report I read doubted it. There were a few
hardware theft problems.

people attended. Over 15 demos were delivered for the demo competition, but

05-07.10  No Limits & Imp-666 Amiga Conference 90.
--------------------------------------------------
Held in Arendal, Norway. Around 200 people attended. The party was held at a
school (the same one as the IT, The Band and IMP-666 easter party the
previous year), in the gym room, a large classroom and in the basement. Due
to recent problems with the Police during similar events, there was a ban on
illegal copying. Among the things not on the results list, there was a
TwinTris competition held by the programmer himself, and a Stunt Car Racer
competition. The graphics and music competitions took place as planned, but
the the demo competition was (naturally) delayed about four hours. This was
due to the fact that Andromeda and Pananoramic Designs didn't finish their
demos on time. The Norwegian press was also present, more specifically the
program "Radioavisa" on channel P2.

   21.10  Magnetic Fields Revenge Party.
----------------------------------------
Held in a sports hall in Rotherham, England for the Amiga scene. There was
actually a bar at this party! New Age were disqualified from the demo
competition after attempting to bribe people to vote for their demo.
NZO/The Powerlords was also disqualified from the music competition, since
the tune he was competing with had already been released in the game "The
Killing Gameshow". Some competing, unconfirmed information stated the party
was held 27-28.10, the following weekend. There was also another Magnetic
Fields party this year, The Magnetic Fields Select party.

02-04.11  Amiga Halloween Conference 90.
----------------------------------------
Held at a school in Motala, Sweden, by The Powerlords and Aurora. This has
led to the party being known not under its official name, but also as the
'Powerlords and Aurora Party' and the 'Motala Party'. These are, infact,
all the same. 400 people attended. The party received some bad press in the
report I read, due to some bad organizing, drunk people, reduced prizes and
even drug dealing! Some more complete results would be nice.

26-29.12  Dexion Party 90.
--------------------------
DEX90 was held in Odense, Denmark by Dexion. 600 people attended in total.
The party was divided into two areas; the Amiga people, which were the
most, and the C64 users, which were given their own, smaller area. Since
Coca Cola sponsored the party, they were very strict about any Coke
obtained from anywhere but their kiosk, where the prices were less than
reasonable. This resulted in a first for demo parties - Coke smuggling!
Paradox didn't bring a single computer, but lots of beer, which was
confiscated in a raid.
  The system for the compos were as follows: The arrangers picked out the 5
best tunes, the 10 best pictures and the 10 best demos, which were then
shown. Then, ONE person from each group were to hand in that groups' votes;
one group - one vote. This system caused some irritation. The first price
in the Amiga demo competition was US $1000, on the C64 it was US $500.
See if YOU can find and more complete results than these anywhere!

26-29.12  X-Mas Party.
----------------------
Supposed to be arranged by Savage in Lieksa, Finland. I saw them advertise
it on a compact disk, but don't know whether it was ever held.


26-29.12  Theatre & Network Party '90.
--------------------------------------
Held in Lillestrm, Norway by Theatre and Network. Almost 350 people
attended, of which four were female :) The party was originally intended to
be an Amiga and C64 party, but due to the fact that another group called
WOT was holding a C64 party, they spread rumours among the 64'ers that this
party was cancelled! As a result, there were only about 15 C64 users on the
party, though all the big groups were represented. There was a kiosk inside
the party hall, where you could buy Coke, food, disks etc. There was no
voting system, the winners were instead decided by the arrangers.
The graphics and music compos were decided by Theatre and Network, while
they left the music to some Motion members. This can perhaps be seen as a
forerunner of The Gathering, what with being held in the same town and at
the same time as the first TG the following year. These are perhaps the
most complete results you'll ever see, at least as far as the demos go.
We try harder :)
