Interview
Ok! This was a quite big party and everybody had big expectations for this party. The TCC'93 was arranged by SILENTS, PHENOMENA, ELECTRA, OMEGA, CASCADA, THE CODEBLASTERS, LIGHT and HORIZON!! (Phew!).

The party took place in the heart of Gothenburg, the second most populated city in Sweden. The party was not just dedicated to the AMIGA but also other computer brands were welcome as well.

The Trip From Stockholm

I went by train to Stockholm at 19.00 and I met COLORBIRD on the train. We walked around in Stockholm for about half an hour and then we went to the traincentral to meet LIZARDKING / ALCATRAZ, who was comming with train from Sundsvall. Then we walked around trying to find a Cash Box. Later we went to MCDonalds to get something to eat. We sat there untill approx. 11.00 Then we left to meet some other friends of mine.

At 00.00 on Friday night we left Stockholm, the main capital of Sweden. The bus was hired by LIGHT and the only cool guys in our bus was two CiRCLE! members... Us! Yes!, LionHeart and ColorBird was the only cool guys in the LIGHT bus. But there were also some C64 guys who was quite ok. All the other cool guys went with the bus arranged by DUAL-CREW-SHINING.

At The Party

We came to GothenBurg at 06.00 on Saturday morning and we had to wait for about half an hour before we were able to get in. The party-place was almost empty when we entered the building. The party was officially open at 08.00 so we was quite bored until more people showed up. After a while the DUAL-CREW-SHINING bus came and more cool guys entered. Among these guys there were two other CiRCLE! members. Yes! PRIME and SOME1 honoured us with their presense.

At 12.00 the place was full of people, and the CiRCLE! was complete cause our beloved swapper SCHIZO finally had the guts to show up. We sat next to NOXIOUS and next to us we had VIRTUAL and behind us we had RAGE. After a while the walls were full of posters so we started to makeour own posters, and after a while everybody knew who CiRCLE! was.

I met a lot of cool guys at the party like U-MAN/INDISTRY, CASE/???, PGL/GENETIC, METAL/INSANE, AZATOTH/PHENOMENA, ALL CiRCLE GUYS! LIZARDKING/ATZ, BUTCH/SILENTS CRAYON/NOXIOUS, and some guys from VIRTUAL. The second day CiRCLE! went to Liseberg, a large amuse-ment park. The entrance fee for the party was 180 SEK but then you also got free entrance to Liseberg. 

The Competitions

The demo competition was won by RAGE with their 'Slideshow' ALCHEMY. We also entered the demo competition but somebody made our demo crash on the big screen cause later I went to get the disk and I tested it on an A-500+ (Which was the computer used by the organizers) and then it worked so somebody must have played with our disk! That makes me really pissed off. Now, let's try to forget this and continue with the report. As the second prize winner was FAIRLIGHT who deserved their position and third was MELON DESIGN with 'How To Skin A Cat'. Other contributors was CiRCLE!, KEFRENS, DEFIANCE, EQUINOX, NEMOL, VOMIT and some other groups.
