1990 marked a remarkable change in the way amiga demos were presented,
specifically by the worlds first trackmo, Scoopex Mental Hangover
04/90. 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 multiload demo released that did not use this new method of
presentation. It was also a year where seemingly every amiga demo contained
filled vectors. This trend led to a lot of generic demos, but ofcourse also
gems like Red Sector Incs CeBit 90 03/90 and Cryptoburners The Hunt
For 7th October 10/90.
This was also the year the first cartridges were presented for the amiga
Nordic Power and Datels follow-up to its hugely successful range of c64
cartridges, the Action Replay.
The release of the c64 emulator GO64! for the amiga was a sign of the times
ahead... And its amusing to think that even now, 12 years later, we still
dont have perfect c64 emulation :
chronologically ...
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.
Kaktus and Mahoney released version 2.0 of their music composition program
NoiseTracker at the Amiga Conference 90 at the weekend between june and
july.

of january, published in Zine 4 amiga, must be wrong - the date above is
from issue 2 of Censors own mag Fatal News 64.
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, dont you agree?

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 T.O.P., Apex and Spreadpoint this year. At about
10 oclock 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.

Held by the above groups at Drammen Gymnas in Drammen, Norway.
About 400 people attended. The party started at 14.00 in the day, and 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
Fraxions, 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 about the party, and wanted
it stopped. About 500 people were present at the party.
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 didnt 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!

Held at a hotel in Echternach, Luxembourg for the amiga scene. About 150 to
200 people attended, and 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

first announced in Zine 4, and then confirmed to be cancelled in Zine 5.
.05 Tropic Party.
Held at a restaurant in Dortmund-Bodelsch, Germany for the c64 scene. The
mainorganizer was New-H/Tropic. Only 24 people showed up, and the only
releases at the Party were some imports. The party lasted for just 6 hours
before everyone was thrown out, so the planned demo competition was
cancelled. The date is a guess, might be early june too...

02.06 NEWS-Ersatz-Party.
Held in Edderheim, Germany. When about 50 attendants turned up to the
original party, they found the doors to be closed and nobody there to
arrange anything for them. Naturally people were a little pissed off
Apparently the organizer of the original event it was simply called the
Edderheim Party didnt think anybody would turn up, and was playing
football instead. However, some of the attendants found a nearby pizzera,
and payed the owner to close his doors for other customers - and just sat
down and had a spontaneous party there! The original arranger turned up a
little later in the day, but was obviously a very unpopular man by then, and
left with blue eyes and a bloody nose, according to witnesses. Thanks to
Ralf from NEWS for the information.
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?

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.

by Red Sector Inc. RSI and The Silents TSL 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...
The winner of the demo competition won 1000, 2nd place to 500, third got

29.6-1.7 Bergen Party.
BER90 was held at Bergenshallen in Bergen, Norway for the c64, amiga and
archimedes scenes. Arranging groups were Panoramic Designs 64, Megastyle
Inc. 64, Science 451 64, Full Force c64, Contex amiga, BOA ?, MFI
? and Cryptoburners amiga. The Shadows were announced as one of the
organizing groups at an early stage, but this was changed to Panoramic
Designs when Shadows died and PD was born on its ashes. Reportedly about
250-300 people attended from all over europe, though some reports have
speculated it was less. The entrance fee was 150NOK. This was a legal party,
illegal copying was banned, but... The relatively low number of attendees
was probably due to the big Amiga Conference 90 being held in Denmark
simultaneously. There were also a few hardware theft problems. Goblin/GP
c64 cracked and spread the game Ski or Die at the party. The deadlines
for the competitions were pushed back, rumours say that this was in order
for co-arrangers Panoramic Designs to finish their demo. The results of the
c64 demo competition was decided by a jury made up of Full Force and Hoaxers
members. The general opinion of the party was seemingly that the organizing
could have been much better, and the foreigners complained about all
announcements over the pa were done in Norwegian.
There were demo competitions for all three platforms, in addition to
graphics and music competitions... so were far from complete yet! The Razor

then Ill be a happy camper

According to my invitation text, competitions would be held for demos,

The CES Exposition was held at Earls court, London. There were abundant
rumours about a scene party being held simultaneously, but ultimately there
was none. As a result, lots of scene people that had showed up to attend the
party they thought would be held ended up spending the night at a nearby
park : There were some releases at the exposition itself.

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 40 entries submitted competitions took
place as planned, but the demo competition was naturally delayed about
four hours. This was due to the fact that Andromeda and Pananoramic Designs
didnt finish their demos on time. Bruno, winner of the music competition,
was just 14 years old at the time The Norwegian press was also present,
more specifically the radio program Radioavisa on channel P2.

Held at a school in Motala, Sweden by The Powerlords and Aurora for the

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! There was another party held
simultaneously in Sweden for the c64 scene, by Censor in Gothenburg.
Some more complete results would be nice.

up their part of the deal, and not a single Oracle member turned up for the
party! Mainorganizer was Gorbi/Duplex. No real big groups were present, and
releases were scarce, pretty much just games. Coffee and Beer was sold. Lots
of problems appeared towards the end of the party first a c128 got stolen,
then the box with all the partys money got stolen, and then some people who
had private disagreements with the arranger turned up to beat him up! So
chances are, Gorbi went a little under-budget with this one...

26-29.12 Dexion X-Mas Conference 90.
DEX90 was held in Odense, Denmark by Dexion and the Odense Computer Klub for
the amiga and c64 scene. 600 people attended in total, including several
visitors from norway, sweden, finland, germany and england. The party was
divided into two areas the amiga people, which were the majority, 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 didnt bring
a single computer, but lots of beer, which was confiscated.
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.
Music had to be delivered in exeutable format. See if YOU can find and more
complete results than these anywhere!

26-29.12 Theatre Network Party 90.
Held at Tandberghallen 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
64ers 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
probably the most complete results youll ever see, at least as far as the
demos go. We try harder : Thanks to Vega/No Limits for some help.

1990 marked a remarkable change in the way amiga demos were presented,
specifically by the worlds first trackmo, Scoopex Mental Hangover
04/90. 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 multiload demo released that did not use this new method of
presentation. It was also a year where seemingly every amiga demo contained
filled vectors. This trend led to a lot of generic demos, but ofcourse also
gems like Red Sector Incs CeBit 90 03/90 and Cryptoburners The Hunt
For 7th October 10/90.
This was also the year the first cartridges were presented for the amiga
Nordic Power and Datels follow-up to its hugely successful range of c64
cartridges, the Action Replay.
The release of the c64 emulator GO64! for the amiga was a sign of the times
ahead... And its amusing to think that even now, 12 years later, we still
dont have perfect c64 emulation :
chronologically ...
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.
Kaktus and Mahoney released version 2.0 of their music composition program
NoiseTracker at the Amiga Conference 90 at the weekend between june and
july.

Probably no new stuff was released at this party.

Held by the above groups at Drammen Gymnas in Drammen, Norway.
About 400 people attended. The party started at 14.00 in the day, and 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
Fraxions, 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 about the party, and wanted
it stopped. About 500 people were present at the party.
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 didnt 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!

Held at a hotel in Echternach, Luxembourg for the amiga scene. About 150 to
200 people attended, and 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

The Amiga 90 aka AmiExpo exposition was held in Basel Basle?,
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.
.05 Tropic Party.
Held at a restaurant in Dortmund-Bodelsch, Germany for the c64 scene. The
mainorganizer was New-H/Tropic. Only 24 people showed up, and the only
releases at the Party were some imports. The party lasted for just 6 hours
before everyone was thrown out, so the planned demo competition was
cancelled. The date is a guess, might be early june too...

02.06 NEWS-Ersatz-Party.
Held in Edderheim, Germany. When about 50 attendants turned up to the
original party, they found the doors to be closed and nobody there to
arrange anything for them. Naturally people were a little pissed off
Apparently the organizer of the original event it was simply called the
Edderheim Party didnt think anybody would turn up, and was playing
football instead. However, some of the attendants found a nearby pizzera,
and payed the owner to close his doors for other customers - and just sat
down and had a spontaneous party there! The original arranger turned up a
little later in the day, but was obviously a very unpopular man by then, and
left with blue eyes and a bloody nose, according to witnesses. Thanks to
Ralf from NEWS for the information.
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?

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.

by Red Sector Inc. RSI and The Silents TSL 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...
The winner of the demo competition won 1000, 2nd place to 500, third got

29.6-1.7 Bergen Party.
BER90 was held at Bergenshallen in Bergen, Norway for the c64, amiga and
archimedes scenes. Arranging groups were Panoramic Designs 64, Megastyle
Inc. 64, Science 451 64, Full Force c64, Contex amiga, BOA ?, MFI
? and Cryptoburners amiga. The Shadows were announced as one of the
organizing groups at an early stage, but this was changed to Panoramic
Designs when Shadows died and PD was born on its ashes. Reportedly about
250-300 people attended from all over europe, though some reports have
speculated it was less. The entrance fee was 150NOK. This was a legal party,
illegal copying was banned, but... The relatively low number of attendees
was probably due to the big Amiga Conference 90 being held in Denmark
simultaneously. There were also a few hardware theft problems. Goblin/GP
c64 cracked and spread the game Ski or Die at the party. The deadlines
for the competitions were pushed back, rumours say that this was in order
for co-arrangers Panoramic Designs to finish their demo. The results of the
c64 demo competition was decided by a jury made up of Full Force and Hoaxers
members. The general opinion of the party was seemingly that the organizing
could have been much better, and the foreigners complained about all
announcements over the pa were done in Norwegian.
There were demo competitions for all three platforms, in addition to
graphics and music competitions... so were far from complete yet! The Razor
demo amiga MIGHT be their Psychedelia, can anyone deny or confirm this,
then Ill be a happy camper

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 40 entries submitted competitions took
place as planned, but the demo competition was naturally delayed about
four hours. This was due to the fact that Andromeda and Pananoramic Designs
didnt finish their demos on time. Bruno, winner of the music competition,
was just 14 years old at the time The Norwegian press was also present,
more specifically the radio program Radioavisa on channel P2.

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! There was another party held

23.11 Duplex and Oracle Party.
Held in Meschede, Germany. About 40 people turned up. Originally to be
arranged by Duplex c64 and Oracle amiga, but Oracle didnt actually hold
up their part of the deal, and not a single Oracle member turned up for the
party! Mainorganizer was Gorbi/Duplex. No real big groups were present, and
releases were scarce, pretty much just games. Coffee and Beer was sold. Lots
of problems appeared towards the end of the party first a c128 got stolen,
then the box with all the partys money got stolen, and then some people who
had private disagreements with the arranger turned up to beat him up! So
chances are, Gorbi went a little under-budget with this one...

22-23.12 Ruthless Party.
Held in Utrecht, Holland for the c64 scene. About 100 people attended.
There was a bar, and a separate sleeping room. A drinking competition was
arranged, where Arrogance was the first to fail, and Zoolook/Crest
eventually being declared the winner. Roy/Dynamix got in quarrels with
Arrogance and Pyle/Crazy over things said on the boards. This was a really
busy weekend in Holland, apparently, with three simultaneous parties! There
was a demo competition, and wed REALLY like to have those results

22-23.12 Vision and Mirage X-Mas Party.
Held in Tilburg, Holland for the amiga scene. About 300 people attended.
There was a bigscreen for demos, games and even some new movies Exorcist
III, Flatliners. There was, for once, no problems with the power supply!
Someone stole a vcr from behind the stage. Members of Pussy kept putting
their stickers EVERYWHERE, finally prompting the arrangers to ask them to
stop or leave. Panic were the real third-place winner in the demo
competition, but they had already left so the prize went to Pussy instead!
This was a really busy weekend in Holland, apparently, with three
simultaneous parties! Graphics, music and demo competitions were held, any
results in addition to the ones presented here would be most welcome...

26-29.12 Dexion X-Mas Conference 90.
DEX90 was held in Odense, Denmark by Dexion and the Odense Computer Klub for
the amiga and c64 scene. 600 people attended in total, including several
visitors from norway, sweden, finland, germany and england. The party was
divided into two areas the amiga people, which were the majority, 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 didnt bring
a single computer, but lots of beer, which was confiscated.
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.
Music had to be delivered in exeutable format. See if YOU can find and more
complete results than these anywhere!

26-29.12 X-Mas Party.
Held by Savage in Lieksa, Finland, probably for the amiga scene.
26-29.12 Theatre Network Party 90.
Held at Tandberghallen 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
64ers 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
probably the most complete results youll ever see, at least as far as the
demos go. We try harder : Thanks to Vega/No Limits for some help.
