Assembly '94 - The Third Phase
- Party Report #1 -
First of all, we would like to thank all of you who attended
Assembly '94 and gave us your precious support. Without you
we could never have accomplished all this. Thanks!
This text file was written to give people who weren't able
to make it to Assembly some idea of what it was like. We are
going to release more information at a later time in the
Result Intro and also on the CD-ROM.
Anyway, let's get down to business...
In general Assembly '94 was a big success. We had the total
of 2800 whole weekend visitors and 600 short visit visitors,
which means that Assembly '94 was the biggest demo party
held so far. Around 60% of all visitors were PC owners, the
rest were Amiga and C-64 owners.
All the sponsors were satisfied and most of them were present
at the party place as well. In the end the sponsor list looked
like this:
1. Advanced Gravis
2. Terton / ZyXEL Telecommunations
3. Compaq Computer
4. IBM
5. ATI Technologies
6. Toptronics
7. Epic MegaGames
8. Id Software
9. Sound Solutions
10. Creative Labs
11. Waite Group Press
12. Team 17
13. SSI
14. PC SuperStore
15. Megazone
16. Cute Communications
17. Finnish On-Line Games
18. Foley Hi-Tech & Hyperware
19. Data Fellows
20. Pro Component
There was a lot of people from the media present, for example
a news crew from CNN.
The overall quality in the competitions was good. The 4kb intro
competition on PC was the most surprising one, but ofcoz all the
other competitions were good too.

We will send the prizes to the winners through mail. Only the
winners in the Graphics competition will have to wait a while to
get their prizes. This is because we have to at least try to find
out which pictures might be direct rip offs (like the picture
which originally came in third, made by Louie / Insane, which
is tecnhically a good picture but directly drawn from Heavy Metal
magazine, and thus disqualified).
But as always, not everything went completely as planned.
The biggest thing people complained about was the delays in
between and during the competitions. In the end the PC demo
competition, which was the last competition, was delayed by
around one and a half hours. We were supposed to show only
ten of the demos on the big screen, but the jury wasn't able to
watch all the demos in time. That's why we had to show twenty
demos even though we didn't really have the time for it. And
to get the time, we decided to let the audience decide when a
demo should be stopped/interrupted. But this only made some
groups very angry. To correct this at the next party the finals
should consist of only the top 10 demos, which would not be
stopped no matter what.
It was not our meaning to offend those groups who felt mistreated,
and we would like to apologize.
More news are to follow later!
