- Revelation Offical Announcement /__/ |____| 97
-
- Revelation is the first UK Acorn demo party, taking place as part of the
- Acorn Southeast Show on Saturday 5th July, in Welwyn Garden City, Herts.
- The idea is to get the UK demo scene moving, so we're talking demos and
- design, with competitions for music, graphics and demos.
-
- This is a chance not only to see the kind of computer graphics your Acorn
- machine can produce, but it's also an opportunity to show off your coding,
- music or graphical skills by entering one of the competitions.
-
- The party will be a chance to meet the demo crews, talk coding and design,
- and check out all the latest releases running on everything from A3010s to
- StrongARM Risc PCs. The highlight of the party will be the competition,
- with a category each for demos, protracker music and bitmap graphics.
- There's something for everyone to get their teeth into!
-
- Please note, sleeping facilities are not provided.
-
- Full details are available on the Revelation web site at :
-
- http://www.digibank.demon.co.uk/party/rev.htm
-
- We'd really like to hear your suggestions on this event. Its completely
- non-profit making and its been organised purely to encourage the demos,
- graphics and games scene on the Acorn, so we're relying on your interest
- to make it a success. If you would like to enter one of the competitions,
- please drop us an email, so we can gauge the interest in the event.

- About the intro :
-
- Sorry its just a rip from the Icon demo (released on the StrongARM CD with

- using the cropped version of the ending picture. Enjoy the new music, and get
- working on some competition entries!
