My access to the net has been extremely limited, so this is the first time
I have had a chance to post this.  I hope that it isn't the first time the
information has appeared on the net, the results were announced at last
months BADGE meeting.

                Announcing the results of the 1988
                 Bay area Amiga Developers GroupE
                         Killer Demo Contest
.
.
On October 20, 1988, the Bay area Amiga Developers GroupE (BADGE) 
held a contest to select the best Amiga demo of the year.  The 
contest is sponsered in the hope of promoting greater interest in 
the Amiga and thus greater sales.  The primary end result of the 
contest is for there to be disks for the dealers to use in the 
showing of the Amiga computer line.
.
This year there were two catagories under which people could enter, 
one being Tool-Based (meaning that they require another, possibly 
commercial, program in order to run), and Custom-Programmed.
.
The prize catagories were Best Overall, Best Use of Graphics, Best 
Use of Sound, and Funniest, as well as second and third place. 
.
The scoring was accomplished by first creating score sheets for 
everyone who attended that nights meeting using AmigaTeX, from Tom 
Rokicki and Radical Eye Software.  Then each demo was run one by one 
and individuals scored each demo on Use of Graphics, Use of Sound, 
Amiga specifics (does "Only Amiga make it possible?"), and Nift (how 
impressed were you).  There were 100 points possible with the 
addition of 30 technical points that each demo was supposed to live 
up to (returning memory, not Guru'ing ...)  Then each of the sheets 
was typed into a Maxi-Plan spreadsheet and the results tabulated, 
the demos have been listed below in the order of points scored.
.
This year, the Best Overall prize (an Amiga 2000, donated by Paul 
Higginbottom of Commodore-West Chester) goes to Brad Schenck for his 
Director Animation called Charon.
.
Other winning catatories include:
      Best Custom Demo -- Tank by Vince Lee;
      Funniest -- "Not Boing Again" by Dr. Gandalf;
      Best Sound -- "Charon" again, by Brad Schenck;
  and Best Graphics -- Tychoid by John M. Olsen.
.
Two disks with the top three demos are available from BADGE for 
$5.00 by sending your request to:
