New routes in Olten

August 22, 2013 - 21:50 -- Unlock

If you're coming to the Demodays by car, please note they're built a completly new street to the party place. When coming from the highway A1, once you're in Olten, use the first roundabout to go left, trough the tunnel and then right, all the way down to the Schützenmatte. Generally follow the signs to "Zentrum" and/or "Schützenmatte". There's no need to go trough all the city anymore, as in the previous years. See you soon!

The bi-annual Swiss C64 party SWISS PIRATES REUNION is not taking place in 2013. The organizers of REUNION will, however, come to Demodays 2013 and recently invited all REUNION visitors to be at Demodays 2013 too. Dr. Science writes: "Wir würden uns freuen, wenn möglichst viele C64 Szene-Freaks auftauchen würden um mit uns zu feiern und mit einem kühlen Bier auf die gute, alte Zeit anzustossen :-)". We'll have special C64 features like the traditional c64.ch Demoshow to welcome the REUNION regulars at our event. Welcome, REUNION!

Do your own Demoshow

Did you always want to do your own demoshow at a party? Do you have a great specialty demoshow ready, demo gems in your drawer? Do you want to be a DJ (Demo-Jockey) and entertain the crowd? Our timetable will contain 3 to 5 slots of about 30 minutes for your demoshow. We let you access one of our powerful Compo-PCs to run the demos, alternatively you can of course bring your own device and connect it to our beamer (be it a PC, C64, Amiga, NES, whatever) - or you show pre-recorded videos (which we only encourage for non-Windows demos, though).
