----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERJAM'98 - THE FACTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, here we have a short overview about all the facts, releases and compo results of the only german party in 1998, and perhaps the last german Atari- related party at all. (sniff =( ...) Ok, at first some words about the present people. Over all there were about 140 computer adicted people at the party. The most of them brought their PC to the party place. Also the C64 were very numerous. I counted about 30 Atari machines (16/32 bit) and also about 30 Atarians (hum... not much...). The most people were there only for play net work games like dull racing and 3d shot'em'ups. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were the following systems present at the party: ATARI ST/E/Fo3o ATARI XL/XE COMMODORE C-64/C-128 COMMODORE AMIGA RISC PC PC (LYNX!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were members of the following !STILL ACTIVE!

Read more about it in the REALTIME- article and the party report. The realtime article is with 92 KB one of the biggest in the history of the UCM and I think it's one of the most weirdest too. Anyway, if you like strange stories in 5 different languages just read it... it's worth every single byte! Ok. I hope that this wasn't the last german party and I hope to see you all again at the next event of this kind! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- .no retreat and no surrender. moondog . poets of decay ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
