                   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

               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.

        Here are the complete and ranked lists of all entries which made
        it to the big screen (the finals):

        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!
