Again the time for the biggest summer
demo party is closing fast! If great
competitions , drinking a LOT of Coke ,
spending sleepless nights, making great
deals with some computer companies ,
meeting all your friends on the scene
and having a great time is what you're
after, you just can't miss Asm'94!
This time the party will be held in the
very center of Helsinki, the capital of
Finland, from the 5th to the 7th of
August . There will be competitions for
Amiga and PC , and thanks to our many
sponsors , the prizes will be amazing !
...
This textfile is just a kind of a
preliminary information package for the
people on the scene . We will release
another invitation intro later in which
the final information about all the
rules, etc. will be included.
Anyway, just keep on reading to see what
we have to offer!
- - - - - - - COMPETITIONS - - - - - - -
A this text file is just the preliminary
info, there might be some changes to the
final competition rules . The organizers
reserve the right to make any changes to
...
the competition rules, and to disqualify
any entry if it is not suitable to
attend the competitions for some reason.
All competitors have to be present at
the party place in order to attend the
competitions and to receive the possible
prizes ( or at least one of the authors
of a competing piece of art).
In the graphics competition on both
Amiga and PC, and also in the 4kb intro
competition on PC , the competition
version of the entry must not display
the author's name in any way. This is to
prevent the author's name from affecting
the vote . After the announcement of the
results , the versions which are spread
can include the author's signature . In
...
the music competition on both Amiga and
PC , we will not show the author's name
while we play the song in the
competition.
'Maximum running length' below is only
the amount of time we will show a
particular piece of art on the big
screen.
The demos / intros will have to run
without ANY user interaction once
started.
THE VOTING SYSTEM:
We will use a disk voting system . Once
...
you enter the party place , you will be
given the voting disk , which will
include the voting program . It's not
certain yet if the disks will be dual-
format (both Amiga&PC compatible) or if
we are going to have separate Amiga and
PC compatible voting disks.
You will be able to give your opinion on
The Five Best in all competitions , both
on the Amiga and PC.
But before you can give your opinion , a
jury composed of known scene people
(maybe even you !) will select a certain
(yet unknown) amount of entries in each
competition to the finals ( to be shown
on the big screen).
...
We will give more details about the
voting system in the next invitation
intro.
PC COMPETITION RULES:
The competition machine we will use:
- i486DX2/66 with 4 MB of RAM
- MS-DOS 6.20
- Tseng Labs ET-4000/w32 Local Bus VGA
card
- 1 MB Gravis UltraSound sound card or
original Sound Blaster Pro 2.0
If your demo supports some other sound
card, bring it with you.
...
If your demo / intro requires a memory
manager , it would be suitable if it
worked under either MS-DOS 6.20's HIMEM
alone, HIMEM+EMM386 or under QEMM v7.03.
Otherwise bring all necessary memory
managers and a boot disk with you ( the
demo / intro will still be loaded from
hard disk).
All intros ( 64kb & 4kb ), pictures and
songs will be spread at the party place
after the announcement of the results.
In the demo competition we will give
exactly ONE MONTH of time for the demo
groups to finish and release their demos
, otherwise we will release the
competition version of the demo.
