If you mean this: 8th Place #6 I've been standing on a line for three hours and I NEED a beer by TPOLM with 336 points. It was shown on the big screen as the demo number six. The demo was in qualified demos list and I remember when I saw the demo name in big screen and the reactions the name gave. That demo was one of those which was put to the machine used to show those demos and everythign on it was shown. There was some hassle in showing the PC demos on big screen so you might have missed some of them or don't rememeber everything (all of them was not shown in the original order). > 2) Why Pixel's wild compo thingy wasn't disqualified since it was > shown in Jyrki (finnish TV program) before Assembly? I don't know. It was not the only one which was shown publically earlier. Another one was the a short film agains smoking. That film was shown in VR-SIG meeting at Helsinki University of Technology in big screen. So it was also publically shown earlier. > I don't claim to be the one who knows everything about everything, so if I've > got incorrect info, just tell me how the things REALLY were.

Some of the PC compo organizers and their crappy (at lest unreliable) PC which messed up the showing of the PC demos in big screen bugged me most. Anotheher annoying thing was the unreliable video projector remote controller which was the reason why te picture in the big screen messed up sometimes. > BTW Funny thing...yesterday I checked out Unreal and 2nd Reality and really > had forgotten how very brilliant musics they had! You've probably seen They have very good music but not entirelly original. Many parts of the music in Second Reality is very similar to some well-kown MOD music from Amiga scene few years earlier. Best melodies well copied and used again in PC scene. -- Tomi Engdahl ([email protected], http://www.iki.fi/then/) I maintain electronics and PC hardware web pages at http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/
