HOW TO GET THERE
Bekasmegyer is a suburbian part of
Budapest. The partyzone can be reached
pretty easily from any of the greater
bus and railway stations. So you simply
need to follow these instructions:
If you come by train:
- Take the red signed underground (M2)
from the Eastern or the Southern
station, to Square Batthiany, then
use the green suburbian train (HEV)
to get to Bekasmegyer (10 stops).
- Go by tram number 4 or 6 towards
Buda from the Western railway station
and reach the head of Margit Bridge
(3 stops). Then change to the
suburbian train (HEV), and go to
Bekasmegyer (9 stops).
If you arrive by bus:
- Catch tram number 1 at the Stadium,
or at Arpad Bridge, then go to Buda.
You can take HEV at the Buda head of
Arpad Bridge, and it's only 6 stops
towards the suburbs.
- Use M2 underground from Square Deak
to Square Batthiany, then follow the
instructions above.
And if you travel by car:
- Reach the capital on any of the
motorways, then you can find road
number 11 easily, using the signs.
When you got it, there's nothing
else to do than coming along it,
until you reach Bekasmegyer.
Then you have to turn to the left
at the crossroads, and get through
the train lines. Turn to your right
and after some 100 meters you'll
see the partyplace.
When you are at Bekasmegyer, you do not
have to care any more about looking for
the partyzone. You'll see many signs and
arrows, pointing to your destination.
The Budapest Traffic Company sells line
tickets for 25Fts. They are useable on
only one vehicle and only once. You
can avoid buying the tickets, but you
have to take the risk to be caught. It
can cost a lot, but if you're clever
enough, you will manage. You need to
know, that tramlines are very rarely
checked, so it's worth using them. The
suburbian train is always checked. The
conductor starts from the end of the
train at the end-station, then goes
forwards car by car every stop. You can
easily escape, just be cautious!
Underground lines are the most
dangerous ones of all. The BTC
sometimes checks the passengers at
the exits, so you can hardly get out
of the net.

GLOBAL RULES
Some things you'd better know about:
- We won't sell any kind of alcoholic
drink inside the house. So if you
feel an unbelievable temptation to
booze, then get your drink from the
outside. But be careful! Drunken
ones will not be allowed to stay!
- Smoking is hardly restricted in the
whole house, except for a signed
place, where anyone can breath
smoke if he wants.
- Any person causing a damage in the
house will be obliged to pay.
So please do not put messages on
the walls, 'cause it costs a lot.
@

CONTEST
As you could guess, there'll be all
the usual demo, intro, graphic and music
competitions at the party, in the middle
of an amazing Saturday night. The
competition topics may depend on the
number of the entering works, and an
opinion-poll. That means, if - for
instance - quite much people would like
a ray-tracing contest, there can be, but
it will reduce the amount of charge, you
can win on other topics. So here comes
a short list of the planned styles of
challanges, but it is object to change,
depending on the things metioned above.
Basic competition topics are :-
Demos on both PC-s and Amigas.
Amiga demos must run on any types of
A500-s with any memory configurations
with at least 1 megabytes, or on a
standard configured A1200.
PC demos have to work on a 386DX with
a standard 1meg SVGA graphic card, and
3 megabytes of memory. The demo can
use any kind of sound card, that is
connectable to this machine, but in
this case, the card must be included.
Intros on Amigas.
The intros must run on a standard A500
with 512KB CHIP-RAM only, and also on
a standard A1200. The maximum
length of the file can be 64KBytes.
They might be packed with any
crunchers available. The promgram have
to fully return to the operation
system, with any configurations.
Graphics on both PC-s and Amigas.
The graphics should be in IFF/ILBM,
GIF, or PCX format, using a free
chosen resolution and pixel aspect,
but the number of colours are limited
to be a maximum of 256. The drawing
MUST be totally hand-made (mouse
made), and MUSTN'T contain scanned or
digitized elements.
Musics on both PC-s and Amigas.
The musics can be created by your
favourite editor without any
restrictions, but the player routine
must be added to the module. There's
only one limitation about the number
of channels, that it shouldn't be
greater than four (=4 and no more).
Please include your special sound
cards, if you use some.
The presented works will not be
qualified by a jury, but only the
AUDIENCE. There's no entrance-fee for
any productions, but the disks
containing them will be held. Any
special hardware lend to show some works
will be returned to its owner, expect
for these disks. The topics listed
above are only directions, not final
decisions. They can be changed by the
wishes of the public. The charges of
the prizes given out are depending on
these conditions. The maximal amount of
money for one winner production is:-
Demo 20000 Fts
Intro 10000 Fts
Graphics 6000 Fts
Musics 6000 Fts
Deadline for all the competitions:

FULL CRAZE
Let me tell you some words about the
unlimited madness, in which you will
participate when you come to the party.
We are trying to organize this meeting
in order to do something really funny
which people will remember for a long
time. That's why the gathering will be
full of fun and games, all for you
freaks, who would like to spend some
hours enjoying your lives together. The
CRAZE is not else than a huge pile of
entertainment. So here comes a short
list just to make you feel like coming
here and being here all the 3 days.
Some tricks to pass time on Friday and
Saturday mornings, evenings and
afternoons:
- Team competitions, The QUIZ about
scene, life, universe and all.
- The Big Rush. A low mind race in
several interesting topics. Some
examples: - the widest smile
- scrolltext competition
- coders on art
- how to eat mice
- collecting funny things
- only human
- And of course many other surprises,
you've never seen before...
COME AND SEE!
STAY AND HAVE FUN!
