The Competitions: There will of course be a lot of competition for both Amiga, C-64 & PC. we actually break the existing records in: - most competitions - biggest prices EVER We give away prizes for about 110.000 DKK in just money prizes and besides that there will be a great deal of hardware prizes in the compos. But lets start out with the compos for Amiga: There will be the following compos on Amiga: demo, music, graphic, FasTest-demo, game-compo and of course all the surprise compos. Rules for the Demo-competition: Everything must work on an Amiga with 1/2 MB chip & 1/2 MB fast memory. We will only accept one demo pr. group, but a demo from each devision of the group is OK. The demo must work on an Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.2 & 1.3. Rules for GFX/Music-competition: GFX: Only one picture pr. person. The picture must be loadable from DPaint IV (HAM-Pics are allowed) You must give the picture your name!!! If your picture isn`t among the rewarded, you are welcome to have it back and delete from our harddrive. MSX: Only one tune pr. person. The tune must either be delivered as an executeable file or along with the musicprogram and replay-routine. You have to write the name of the tune and dir + your name & handle on the disc. If your tune isn`t among the rewarded, you are welcome to have it back and delete from our harddrive. These are the basic rules for the compos, if you want further info, you can contact us. The prizes will be absolutly awesome, so go on read the next page and prepare for a shock!!! PC-competition & Rules: There will be a demo-compo for PC. The demo must work on a PC with VGA graphics and with a Soundblaster card. The prizes will not be as great as on Amiga & C-64, but anyway here they are: PC demo-compo: 1. 4000 DKK 2. 2000 DKK 3. 1000 DKK If anyone want to compete in graphics, they could join the amiga graphics-compo, if they just max. use VGA-graphics & 16 colours. There will not be a music-compo for PCs - Sorry! The Prizes: Demo-compo Amiga: 1. 15000 DKK + an Amiga 3000 2. 10000 DKK 3. 6000 DKK 4. 3000 DKK 5. 2000 DKK 6. 1500 DKK 7. 1000 DKK 8. 600 DKK 9. 400 DKK 10. 300 DKK Music/Graphics-compo: 1. 3500 DKK 2. 2000 DKK 3. 1500 DKK 4. 1000 DKK 5. 750 DKK 6. 500 DKK 7. 300 DKK 8. 200 DKK Besides these money-prizes there will be a lot of extras!!! We`ve arranged a special and new kind of compo, which we would like to call "FasTest-demo". This compo will be for Amiga only. The FasTest-demo compo is for any group who dares. The competing groups only have three hours to create a demo - from the beginning... Three members from each group will be `locked` up in a room with their own computers and are only allowed to bring: The coder: - books - handwritten notes - any kind of programs (assemblers, IFF-Conv. etc.) - a replay-routine for the music - but other sources are strictly forbidden! - everything is first to be approved by the partystaff The Musician: - any kind of music-program - keyboard/syntheziser - instruments are not allowed but the ones you`ll get by the staff - everything is first to be approved by the partystaff The Artist: - any kind of art- and/or animation- program - drawing-board, lightpen, mouse etc. but digitizer/scanner are forbidden - everything is first to be approved by the partystaff To be continued... We have also arranged this compo, because we believe that the best group is found this way. Because we don`t think it`s `fair` that a group uses a couple of years or even more perhaps for making a demo. In this compo all competing groups will have: - the same amount of time - the same possibilities - and the same stuff to work with So that explain why we wrote that this compo is for the groups who dare, because perhaps a not very well known group could beat an already etablished group under the same circumstances. The prizes in this compo will be like this: 1. 3*500 DKK + some stuff 2. 3*300 DKK + a bit of stuff 3. 3*200 DKK + a bit of stuff At last we have a little compo for game-freaks: In this compo you`ll play a game by us - Hurricane. You`ll get further information at the party, about the game. The prizes will be: 1. 500 DKK + a bit of stuff 2. 250 DKK + a bit of stuff These are the official competitions for the Amiga, but we will arrange further compos later on. We`ve got a big lottery at the party, where you can win money, hardware, software and so on... For the C-64, we will have the following compos: Demo, Music, Graphics and a game-compo Rules: The demo must work on a standart C-64 - and that`s it! Music: The tune must be delivered as an executeable file. It is permitted to use samples in you tune. Graphics: You picture must be delivered in one of these formats: FLI - AFLI or Bitmap-format. And remember only one tune and pic pr. person. There will also be a game-compo for the C-64. The game is made by our friends in Camelot - Thanks! You`ll get further information about the game, at the party. Prizes for the C-64 compos: The prizes will just like on the Amiga, break all records, so here we go: Demo: 1. 6000 DKK 2. 4000 DKK 3. 2000 DKK 4. 1500 DKK 5. 1000 DKK 6. 600 DKK 7. 400 DKK 8. 300 DKK Music/Graphic: 1. 2000 DKK 2. 1500 DKK 3. 1000 DKK 4. 750 DKK 5. 500 DKK 6. 300 DKK Game-compo: 1. 500 DKK 2. 250 DKK Before we end this invitation, we would like to thank everybody who have been involved in any way, of arranging this party - the greatest party! Here follows the basic-schedule for what will happen in the four days: Friday the 26th: 08:00 The party starts 12:00 A little welcome ceremony will take place 19:00 Last chance to enroll for the Amiga FasTest-demo compo 21:30 The discotec starts Saturday the 27th: 02:30 The discotec ends 09:00 Last chance to enroll for Amiga graphics-compo 11:00 Graphics-compo Amiga 13:00 Last chance to enroll for C-64 graphics-compo 14:30 Graphics-compo C-64 15:00 Last chance to enroll for PC demo-compo 16:00 Last chance to enroll for C-64 game-compo 16:30 Amiga FastTest-demo compo begins 17:00 C-64 game compo 20:00 PC demo-compo begins 21:30 The discotec starts Sunday the 28th: 02:00 The discotec ends 07:30 Last chance to enroll for C-64 music-compo 10:00 Music-compo C-64 11:00 Last chance to enroll for Amiga game-compo 12:30 Last chance to enroll for Amiga music-compo 13:00 Game-compo Amiga 15:00 Music-compo Amiga 18:00 Last chance to enroll for C-64 demo-compo 22:30 C-64 demo-compo begins Monday the 29th: 01:30 Last chance to enroll for Amiga demo-compo 06:30 The Amiga demo-compo begins 13:00 The party officialy ends, but you can stay as long as you wish to, because we won`t close the buildings before Monday evening. Please notice: We reserve the right to change any of the things mentioned above. We reserve the right to cancel any of the compos if there aren`t enough competitors. We reserve the right to lower the prizes, if something bad comes up. The party will be for all kind of 8 & 16 bit machines, so if you own an Atari, all kind of PCs etc. you`re welcome to join some of the compos. Please contact us for further info. As you must notice, we have over 45 winners in the demo, graphic and music compos. We could have chosen to make the prizes even higher by skipping some of the lower prizes, but we wanna give the new and talented groups a chance to compete too. Because if we f.i. only had prizes for the best 3 or so, not very many of the `secondary` groups would join the competitions in f.i. demo-amiga, and we think it`s a big pitty, because there are a lot of talented freaks in the not very famous groups, nad they will now get a chance to show what they can do. The Enterance: The enterance for this awesome party will be... 125 DKK The enterance for our great discos will be 20 DKK pr. night. Specials at the party: - We have arranged the regional TV to come and make a shoot at the party. - Lots of computermags will also be there to make an article about the party. - Some big Danish computerfirms will be there to show you the latest Amiga/C-64/PC wares. - We hope to have a few vitual-reality machines at the party. - If this party turns out to be a big success, we will arrange a party which is over tiwce as big as this one! So watch out! - At the discotecs there will be compos with great prizes, and there will be lots of different shows all through the night. Remember: Hurricane is a 100% legal group, and that simply means: - We take no responsibility for any illegal activity, piracy included. - We won`t accept any booze and/or drunk people inside the buildings. If you wanna get drunk that`s OK, but then you`ll have to visit ou discos, because there you can buy any kind of booze. - We have hired several people to take care of normal troublemakers, but in case of vandalism etc. we simply call the police-station which lies only 200 metres from the party. - No one but our sponsors is allowed to sell anything at the party, except if the`ve got a special permission from the staff. Final words: This party is not only for the most famous groups, it`s also for those who wanna experience what technology can do, and of course for people with the same interest as themselves, and for all who just wanna have a good time in the summer `92 on Samoe with or without a computer.
