- RSI, AFL, SPECTRAL PARTY-REPORT #
- ----------------------------------#
- #
- The Red Sector, Alpha Flight and#
- Spectral Party was visited by the#
- following Swiss BRS - members:#
- CHESTER, MAJESTIC, COM, TRUXION#
- #
- We meet us at 7:30 a.m. at the#
- station in Basle, our hometown.#
- The train for Luxembourg departed#
- at 8:21 and so we weren't in a#
- hurry. #
- #
- At 11:57 we arrived in Luxem-#
- bourg. We went to the Information#
- and asked them how to go to#
- Echternach. They said that a bus#
- leaves in two minutes. We said#
- forget it (too much stress...) and#
- asked for the next one. "In two#
- hours!" - we ran with our A 500,#
- the monitor and all other luggage#
- to the bus station, where we#
- finaly found the bus. So, we#
- wanted to buy the tickets with#
- Swiss money. Of course that did#
- not work. So we had to change our#
- money fast. And we managed it#
- again, in 2 minutes by the way! #
- #
- Arrived at Echternach (12:50) we#
- have been searching for the 'Place#
- de marchet', we had NO invitation!#
- It wasn't hard to find the place#
- but nobody was there. IRATA/RSI#
- said to us, that there will be#
- some guys waiting for us. Okay,#
- after 5 minutes of waiting, there#
- came some AFL and SPECTRAL#
- members. The way to the party was#
- quite easy to find. #
- #
- At the party, there were about 150#
- until 200 people in front of their#
- computers. The room was in a hotel#
- and a little bit small for so#
- many computers and people. We had#
- problems to get a free table but,#
- believe it or not, we have found#
- one! #
- #
- Some releses coming out at the#
- party: BRS-MegaDemo, BRS-Zine,#
- Level 4 SoundDisk, Aeon SoundDisk,#
- demos from Vision One of Alpha#
- Flight, demos from Spectral, Iris#
- MegaDemo, and some other un-#
- interesting stuff. #
- #
- The following groups were at the#
- party: RED SECTOR, ALPHA FLIGHT,#
- SPECTRAL, IRIS, SPREADPOINT,#
- ZYLON, TRISTAR, ABYSS, LEVEL 4,#
- CULT, BCI, SUCCESS, TWILIGHT,#
- CASCADE, ABAKUS, AEON, EXTREME,#
- LAZER, SUBSOFT, TARKUS TEAM, TCS#
- of ILLUSION, TOM L, YOLK ROQUES,#
- MAD MACS, Dr. MABUSE, MIKE of#
- VISION FACTORY,... and a lot of#
- others. #
- #
- First of all we had to delete the#
- last bugs from the MegaDemo, but#
- I think, some are still in...#
- ZINE 4 was also finnished and#
- spreaded. After interviewing VF,#
- Tristar, Dr.Mabuse/AFL, Tom L and#
- IRATA/RSI (look in other articles#
- of this ZINE issue) the demo-#
- competition began. #
- #
- The demos wereshown on four TVs#
- and stereo. There was no#
- competition for our Mega-Demo.#
- Only some AFL (Vision One) demos#
- and a Spectral demo were good,#
- too. #
- #
- So, we won the first price with#
- the filled vector part from#
- LUKE/BRAINSTORM, 2nd was an#
- ALPHA FLIGHT (Vision One) demo#
- and the third was the ball-demo#
- from BIRD/BRAINSTORM. We do not#
- know why they picked out the#
- parts from the MegaDemo, but#
- that does not matter. #
- #
- We won a goblet, nothing special,#
- and a bottle of champaign. #
- #
- At the moment we wanted to go,#
- there were some police-men in#
- the next street, so we began to#
- pack our things faster and went#
- to the bus-station. Arrived at#
- Luxembourg we had to wait three#
- (!) hours for our train to Basle.#
- So what we did to waiste some#
- time, we went to the train-buffet#
- at spend our last foreign money.#
- The trouble was the buffet closed#
- at 24:00 and outside it was very#
- cold. And added to all that our#
- train didn't leave until 1:18 in#
- the morning! So we were kicked#
- out of the warm buffet into the#
- cold street. #
- #
- But what did we see there, next#
- to a phone booth there was this#
- big puddle (small lake) of blood#
- (no joke!!!). #
