ad.1

An excellent demonstration, with a lot of well-coded effects by Musashi. Texture mapping and World's first dancing human-vectors performed at the end of the demo (accompanied with a music sample takne from "Love is what you make it" by Talk Talk) to name a few. We can find also some good graphics by Seq.

ad.2

A great demo from the group from the city of Wroclaw. Wonderfull music (Mr.smith.mod) by Scorpic, great graphics by Frodo and very advanced code with a world record 4096 dotball by Vico. "Marchewki" in Polish language stands for "Carrots".

ad.3

A demo-show with vectors from famous Atari group based in Szczecin. Quiet boring, even if well-coded.

ad.4

Quite nice demo with lots of not so original vector-objects coded by Tom, good music by Raf and decent graphics.

Interesting Facts

The party was nice overall, but had no limit for alcohol consumption, which, as a final matter of fact, was not the best idea (even if everyone was happy). Result: the partyplace was vandalized. Hence, the organizers had to spend their time trying to do everything up and repair all the abolitions in order to get the party-place allocation money back. The reasons for the other devastations were also the final competition results.

Some PC demos were shown at the party (Future Crew probably), but all in all of them meet up with a criticism, laught and party-dudes' amusement.

Vico/Alchemy after coding his top-notch 4096 dotball, was highly respected coder. As for 1999, he's married, living in Germany.

The "Deformations" demo by Deform, what has to be mentionned, featured first ever dancing vector human-like figures, which were released BEFORE "The State of the Art" by SpaceBalls! Since the demo's release, Musashi had gained a reputation of a ASM-master and best Polish coder! As a main price he won an ACTION REPLAY III module. Apparently, he was so happy and exhausted, he directly fell asleep with the module in his hand.
