Even More C64 Votesheets (Fzool Collection #2)

We processed another batch of C64 diskmagazine votesheets from Fzool‘s vast collection. Spread by post or at demoparties, votesheets were used to produce rankings of the best individuals within the various scene “professions” – programmers, musicians, graphics artists, crackers and so on. Apparently, some people chose to keep them instead of sending them back to the magazine editors – otherwise we wouldn’t have such a pristine collection of them at our disposal…

• Nitro votesheet, 1997 [metadata]
• Palladium votesheet, 1990s [metadata]
• Propaganda votesheet, 1990s [metadata]
• Publication votesheet, 1997 [metadata]
• The Crest votesheet, 1997-1998 [metadata]
• The Pulse votesheet, 1994-1996 [metadata]
• Tiger-Disk votesheet, 1996- [metadata]
• X-Dome votesheet, 1995-1999 [metadata]

The metadata for this batch was compiled and processed by our new volunteer staff member, Pixman from Switzerland. Welcome!

S11 Collection – Old Amiga Flyers

Our next batch of papers comes from S11/Desire, who was so kind to scan several party invitation, flyers and magazine votesheets from his active period in the Amiga demoscene in the early 1990s. They are highly interesting artefacts of the early days of the demoscene – particularly the very detailed party invitations, which give insight on how demoparties were advertised and conducted “back in the days”.

• Amega Party 1991 invitation sheet [link]
• Defcon One & Sanity Meeting 1991 invitation sheet [link]
• Prime 1992 invitation sheet [link]
• Chit Chat diskmagazine message sheet (1993?) [link]

• Global News diskmagazine issue 2 promotion sheet (1995) [link]
• Nordic Report diskmagazine votesheet (1992) [link]
• Midnite Mess diskmagazine issue 1 promotion sheet (1992) [link]

As a kind of bonus, S11 also provided us with a flyer for the (in)famous PainStation arcade machine, which was spread at the Evoke 2004 demoparty where the arcade was exhibited and excessively used by the visitors: [link]
