Saturne Demo Party II – 1994

22ND – 24TH APRIL 1994 CHELLES, DÉPARTEMENT DE SEINE-ET-MARNE, ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE

As I was studying 5 Km from the city of «Chelles», I went to that nice demo party.

Infos from demozoo: «Saturne Party 1994 was held at Centre Culturel de Chelles in Chelles, France by Saturne for the Amiga, Atari Falcon and PC scenes. It was the 2nd Saturne Party. Entrance fee was 100 FF. The invitation claimed the room could hold 1000 people; about 750 people showed up. Heinz was one of the organizers. The Amiga compo machine was an A500 with 512mb fast mem expansion, but it was a requirement that entries would also run on A1200. Graphics entries were limited to 640×512 pixels and 256 colors, and music format was ProTracker or executable file. There were 32 entries in the Amiga demo competition, 18 in amiga 64k, 80 (!) in gfx and 22 in music. It would be two years before the next Saturne party, in 1996.»

We competed in the Intro 64K compo with our demo «Why do it simple when you can do it complex ?». There were 10 entries and we were ranked 3rd. Honestly our intro had more work that the two that «beat» us. Surely because it was paradox and melon design (so friendship votes).

First intro was Cobalt – Calimero’s Return by Paradox

Second Intro was Where Is My Conscience? by Melon Dezign

Demo compo

The winning demo was Real by Complex.
Nice Aga demo with 3D and texture mapping.
Code: Gengis Music: Clawz Graphics: Eloy, Hof, Titan

About me

Hello. My name is Christophe KOHLER. Norn in 1973, I'm 50 year old (in 2024) and working as video game creator till 2000. When I was young, I've been involved in the Amiga demo scene during 9 years (from 1989 to 1998). I was 16 years old at the time and had really lot of fun using Amiga computers.
I took much pleasure writing these pages. First because it reminded some good memories. And secondly because I wanted to explain how the amiga computer worked and what have been our work on them.
