Dexion X-mas Conference report                                  By Paleface /REBELS

In the days between 26.12 and 29.12-90,   The school  was located quite  near to
Dexion  and  "Computer  Clubben Odense"  a big  shopping mall,  where  you could

 First of all, the positive things abo-  on other  parties,  Dexion had  decided

fortunately, their judgements were very
random  and  sometimes almost  corrupt.
The Vision demo,  for example,  was not
allowed to compete,  even though it was
much better than a  couple of the other
demos, that got through. Of course some
demos (there was a demo, which was cre-

to compete, but it is unfair not to let
the audience judge for itself!
 I wouldn't  say that this party  was a
failure,  but that certainly wasn't the
organizers' fault.It was worth the mon-
ey, but nothing more than that. I don't
think Dexion will be more popular becau-
se of this party. It's rather opposite.

1. Phenomena's Animotion
2. Budbrain's Megademo 2
