NAID were in Canada. The only other US parties I know of are the Spring Break parties 1997-1999. Unless you count the #trax 10 year reunion. While demos were shown, it was not a competition but purely a social gathering.
I think the reason they proclaim the "Only American Party" is that in fact, it is the only one currently being held.
I went last year, competed, met some cool people, drank a bunch of beer, and had a good time. Evening driving all the way from Chicago, it was worth it. This year will be far superior with far greater interest, obviously better promotion and interest. Even in the demoscene itself, last years party flew under the radar.
People scoff... "Ha, US HAS a demoscene?" Well gee, if you weren't so apathetic, and participated more, it wouldn't be like that.
In addition, I must also emphasize that I am not too cheap to spend money instead on expensive hardware, blank CDR's and 50 dollars a month for your service. So I instead may acquire said properties I am too cheap to pay to see publically. Thank you.
Then you missed the point. This game was entered into the 96k compo. So that's what they shot for. These guys could probably do it smaller if they wanted to. And for the most part they have pioneered the type 4k and 64k demo compo entries we see today.
For those reasons we love KB and farb-rausch/produkkt.
Wouldn't there be a considerable delay with the long horn setup? Especially in such a small room... I saw no mention of them using any processing to control timing. If anyone cares to explain it either way, it'd greatly appreciated.
Oops, I think I posted a blank message, and how ironic the subject...
I have been publishing personal pages for years, and I've always thought of all of it as useless, and hardly entertaining.
But my ebay auctions mirrors page appears popular, and one auction in particular wasted over 30 gigs of traffic in one month when it first hit, and continues to do so, six months later.
There is a small bar/restaurant right around the corner from work. Three of us go there as often as possible to eat and play Galaga. We spend a couple bucks in it everytime, at least. They eventually put a super Pacman machine next to it. Which has many versions of Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Pirhana, in fast/slow versions and everything. It gets used by us almost as much as the Galaga machine. And there is an older regular who comes in and tops our scores by hundreds of thousands, every once in awhile.
We like it so much we looked into buying a cabinet for the office, but found the prices outrageous. We may just build our own cocktail version using xmame and as many roms as we can find. It would be a neat project indeed. Maybe we can get the boss to pay for materials since he never got us the foosball or pool table he said he'd get:)
More places should get vintage games. But the high prices are probably what keeps that to a minimum. With the average age of hole in the wall bar patrons, they probably remember these games fondly, as do we.
I must admit, I was in shock the day my 70 something year old grandmother started forwarding me dumb emails. Thanks for giving her my addy Mom! (grumble grumble)
Not to mention when recently I discovered the guy almost beating me at a railgun level in Quake2 was 61!
The internet isn't just for us darned bbs'ing kids to idle on irc and download warez anymore... *sigh*
So this means the three or four songs we uploaded, which sounded like new age neo-pr0n music will be played in elevators and cheesy restaurants nationwide! Woohoo, the Backsync Britneys will be famous!
This release also marks my last release with Phluid. It's been fun folks, this pack is monumental for many reasons, other than it's size. Please watch for the next Acid e'zine coming shortly with articles by myself, and many other members past and present.

There is a small section of the demoscene producing works on the dreamcast. http://pouet.net/prodlist.php?type=&platform=Dream cast&type2=&platform2=&type3=&platform3=&x=32&y=11
Not only was this a walk-through of classic effects, but many are copied/emulated from actual classic and well known demos.
.nfo. The spaceship you mention is of course Second Reality.
I think many are listed in the
There are also hints at Cyboman (2 I think), Little Green Men, The Product... Aww hell I can't remember the rest, there are too many.
Then bring one. Atari parties and entries are still very popular in Europe. Bring it here or shut up.

That device may be old... But I'm lame enough to still do chip music for it. As are many others, like Nullsleep from 8bitpeoples.
That reminds me, I need to pick up a GBA SP still.
As in with full synthed music and speech, and WITH great style and code.

That would be some expensive exclusive bottled water.
I saw prepaid Napster cards in the local conevience store the other day. Scary...

Useless? yes. Entertaining? maybe mildy...
Oh, and thankfully these both are still only a quarter.

Untrained and unlearned, non CW users have been using freqs below 30mhz for years! It's called CB radio! 26.965-27.405 mhz.
You too can get brain cancer with your 32 pill maul while jabbering on CH. 6. Make sure to check it on your Bird watt meter though.
