Atari Silesian Open in the Mikolow

Few days ago (on 28-29th of December 1995) Atari Silesian Open meeting took place in the Mikolow (small polish town near Katowice). It was smaller copy party then last one in Orneta - there was about 60 Atari 8bit users and it was shorter then one day (about 22 hours).

There was only two competitions for 8bits. Here are the results:

music competition
1. Greg/Taquart
2. X-Ray/Slight
3. Samurai/Taquart
Presented 20 works.
gfx competition
1. "Face 2" by Dracon/USG
2. "Grass" by Grass
3. "Fiat" by Kaczor/Tight
Presented 23 works.

As about the demo competition, it wasn't organized because there were presented only 3 demos and organizers required 5 to make compo. Presented demos:

"Ass Kicker" by Shadows (trackmo). Not finished, not distributed. But it was realy great! It was generally coded by Konop/Shadows and he made big piece of good work. Effects I remember:
- zoom rotator
- stretch rotator
- Gourand's cube shading effect (very impressive)
- first real textured vector cube (also zooming textures)
- Wolfenstein 3D effect! (totally killing)
That's all I think. It was rather short, but great demo. Shadows are back (as one of the best polish groups)!
"Timeless" by Bit Busters. Few part demo. Looked nice, had some interesting effects, but something went wrong and it was stopped. Not distributed.
"Delirium Tremens" by Quasimodos. File demo coded by Kroger. Some cool effect and well designed. The only demo I got from Mikolow.

Next copy party has been already introducted. It will be in Orneta at the begin of August '96 (on the 2th to 4th, I think).
