Rush Hours '98

25-26.04 Rush Hours 1998. -- RH98 was held at a high school in Czestochowa, Poland by Freezers (amiga), Pulse (pc), Shadows (atari) and Samar (c64). About 400 people attended. The invitation promised lots of things it didn't keep, like the venue, which was supposed to be the Magnes Czestochowianka Sport Hall. Most people felt the school facilities were clearly inferior. The date, as announced in the invitation, was 18-19.04 - and it said 'won't be changed' too! The date I'm using is 100% correct though, and confirmed from several sources. For some strange reason, only c64 sceners were allowed to vote for c64 productions... Prizes were very low, and there seems to have been a general displeasure with the c64 organizers, and accusations of vote faking was widespread. Some c64 demos were disqualified due to viruses. The party atmosphere was reportedly very relaxed, with lots of people spending most of their time outdoors due to the poor state of the school facilities. The Police stopped by in the late afternoon, called by panicking school staff, but only one car appeared and the cops seemed too scared of the large crowd of party attenders to even get out of the car ;) This was also the party where the first ever PowerPC demo was released, Venus Arts' remix of their classic "Everything Dies"! The second place in the amiga demo competition, VA + MAWI's "Visible World" is not really a demo, but a slideshow. There were 48 entries for the 4 channel competition (9 selected), and 68 entries for the multichannel (12 selected). Thanks to 3Case for some information!
