Computer Crossroad
TCC93 was held at the Swedish Exhibition Center (Svenska Mässan) in
Gothenburg, Sweden by Light (c64), Horizon (c64), Digital Illusions/The
Silents (amiga), Phenomena (amiga), Cascada (pc), The CodeBlasters (pc),
Electra (atari) and Omega (atari). 1600 people showed up, making it the
biggest swedish meeting of its kind upto that time. There was plenty of
press present, and reports were shown on all major swedish television
channels (SVT1, TV3, TV4). There were also radio stations and newspapers
reporting from the party. A cafeteria operated around-the-clock to bring
food and drink to the partygoers. It was allowed to sleep inside the hall,
though a special sleeping area was also available. Kyd/Balle Productions
(from the danish section of The Silents) gave their second concert,
following the one at christmas last year in Denmark. The party was first
announced on paper flyers at The Party 92 in december the previous year.
The pc compo machine was a 486-33. Extreme's pc demo was shown without
sound since it required a D/A at LPT1, and the arrangers could not find one
compatible with their sound system. These results are very incomplete, so
obviously - I'm looking for everything I don't have :) Thanks to Graham/
Oxyron for help with the c64 results.
