   Hurricane & Brutal are proud to

 personal computer - more than three
times bigger than Aars-Xmas-Party `91

   The party will take place in the
centre of Denmark on an island called
Samso, from the 26.6.92 at 8:00 to the
        29.6.92 at 13:00 CET.

        The greatest Demoparty
         in the World - ever!

        Prices for more than 
   100.000 DKK (16.500 US-Dollars)!

   Ten competitions with more than
           seventy winners!

          Great facilities!

We  give away prizes for about 110.000
DKK  in  just money prizes and besides

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

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

Before  we  end  this  invitation,  we

      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.
