The original party was held in Kauniainen (a neighbouring city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland). The place was Karakallion koulu (a school that is). The nick name "Was it all just WASTED TIME?" came from the Rebel's headquarters BBS, called Wasted Time and operated by Storm / Rebels. Back then, Amigas and C64s ruled the world and Atari ST was still a competent demo machine. But to make demos with a PC? That was still something new and definitely so akward that almost every amiga demoscener laughed their asses off when seeing PC "demos". ASSEMBLY '92 was the first attempt to create a big scale demoparty in Finland. Big scale means over few hundred visitors were in the plans. And ASM '92 was a hit with over 700 visitors. To some ASM'92 remains as the raw essence of demoparties. A lot of screw ups, power failures, terrible cafeteria, no air conditioning etc. BUT there was more than a LOT of real spirit. The PC demo compo had four or five entries, among them Unreal from Future Crew, Hysteric Overload from Hysteria and a demo from Sonic PC. Unreal got about 30 votes and Hysteria's demo about 4. BTW, when Unreal was showed to the Amiga people, there were only two parts where people applauded: the wormhole and landscape parts. As for the Amiga part, the party was a success with good demos featuring completely new effects. But for the Amiga organizer who was supposed to code a voting system... Well, the bloke was too drunk to code anything but pink elephants. So the voting was done (as what become a tradition for a while) with paper. The main organizer back then was Meegosh / Movement (back then from Rebels), Rebels was the main organizing team and on the PC Future Crew did their best to hold the competitions (which naturally went as smoothly as you can imagine =)). After the party, Meegosh was some exhausted that he promised never to again organize a party. But we did see his return at ASM '93. l
