Strike Force NZ Copy Party Report
This was only the second ever New Zealand (N.Z.) copy party. The first was held in February this year and was a bit of a disaster because of a lack of machines - at one time there was only two Amigas and one C64 there! This party promised to be good because people had learnt from mistakes of the previous one.
We had to drive 600 km south to get to Wellington where the party was held. Only three Nukebuster members went - Porsche (that's me!), Express, and Manslayer. We all stayed at Cosmac of Legend's house for 2 nights before the party really got going. The venue were social club rooms and a big fruit market hall. We all went there on Saturday and had a cool time. We coded our demos and wrote long scrolltexts. Lots of alcohol was consumed, especially by Warrior of Strike Force.
Sunday was 'Lamers day' when all the lamers came along. N.Z. is only a small place and when all the cool groups were there - Nukebusters - Strike Force - Sly - Legend. It was still very quiet so we had to have a 'lamers day'! Down one end of the place was a 5m drop which we called the lamers legs. No lamers took the jump unfortunately. There was a lame group called Intospective, so Warrior of Strike Force snaked over one of their members called Talisman. Then we stole 20 of Talisman's discs and broke them. Express of Nukebusters got his arse kicked by Sly for pulling out Sly's disc while he was saving his sourcecodes.
We left Wellington on Sunday night but our car broke down and we had to spend the night in the middle of nowhere. Special greetings go to Sly, Warrior + Mutlay of Strike Force for being real cool friends. The bad thing about the party was 14 Amigas but zero 64s. The C64 is really dying in New Zealand.
