I think many European countries could do the same, Denmark also had its fair share of the demo scene back in the day.
I still remember names such as Kefrens and Dexion and it’s a bit amazing to find a detailed account of a demo event that took place in 1990, http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/party.php?id=92 http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/party.php?id=92
Link to Megademo 8 by Kefrens with a runtime of almost an hour: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Megademo%208+Amiga http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Megademo%208+Ami...
- mads 7y agoI was at that party in Falster in 1990. I remember we rented a video camera in a local hifi shop and documented the whole thing. The tape has unfortunately been lost as far as I know. Could be fun to watch it again. Do have some photos and possibly the original invitation lying around somewhere.
- jackbravo 7y agoAre campus party events similar to demoscene? In Mexico (Guadalajara) they were renamed to talent land, but still have the same vibe as campus party.
- sharken 7y agoAs i recall a demo scene event could be called a copyparty (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene), but that was before there was a focus on stopping pirated software. Those demo scene events i attended was a mix of creating demos, but also LAN gaming as we know it today. I do not remember campus party events that well, but i think the focus was more on gaming and hacking and not so much on presenting demos and having prizes for the best ones. Talent land sounds like you want to reach out to a less nerdy audience, but for me the nerdiness is the charm of these events :)
