The Assembly '93

ASM93 was held at rhw Nikkarin Ylastaa school in Kerava, Finland by Movement, Accession and Virtual Dreams (amiga), Future Crew (pc), Extend (c64) and Aggression (atari st). About 1500 people attended, more than doubling the number from last year! There was a 24h cafe, naturally. The pc compo machine was a 486 with regular VGA (no SVGA allowed), and almost all soundcards were available. Intros could be no more than 100k in size. This was the first year with a real multichannel music competition. This year, contributions for all platforms were shown on the big screen! The FC Info Package mentions there are several other, incorrect PC results files floating around, but that theirs is the final, correct one. I compared the results from the Shock! Party Results Pack 5.0 for the PC results, and they were quite different from these. The text about the party in FC's "Worldcharts" #1 stated it would be held 30.07-01.08, so it was probably postponed a week after that was written. It also stated Complex would be the third amiga organizer group, which seems to have finally been replaced with Virtual Dreams. Due to a lack of time, organizers decided to show only 10 of 14 submitted demos for the competition; after that, one further demo (Iguana's "Iconexia") was withdrawn from the compo for incompatibilities with the compo machine's VGA card. The announced concerts with Dance Nation (Captain/Frantic) and the Mighty Rubberboots (Damones doing hardcore techno!) were held on schedule. Cascada did not manage to release their pc demo "Hex Appeal" in time for the competition, but decided to release it anyway. The official release date is about a month later (02.09), but it was almost certainly released to some of the public already at this party.
