NEWS:
-----
| 05.08.09: | More photos uploaded today. Releases might show up
later on today instead of on wednesday as earlier
stated.
Also a comment on the "no more LCP" issue. Things
have changed a little bit since saturday night, when
that statement was stated. Just wanted to say that
there will be more parties arranged by me,
so don't loose your faith. However, this was
the last LCP at Skylten. That's for sure. (Alchohol
is forbidden there from now on. :)
|
| 05.08.08: | Party over. Results are up here.
Releases might not show up here until wednesday, but
in the meantime you can check some of the stuff
at ftp.scs-trc.net
(the resultfile
there states wrong credits for the amiga demo
named "Goa Killbilder #1" though. It's made by
"facit i handen" and not by HT.).
There is some party photos by Trazan uploaded
in the lcp archive
too. Check it!
|
| 05.08.04: | The sudden bigscreen projector problem is
solved.
|
| 05.08.04: | Now LCP is tomorrow! Can you believe it? Well,
it's not too good to be true! It's NOT FALSE,
whatever that means, and it will be GREAT for
sure. Check the new section to the right here
for a party schedule and some last minute
information.
If someone is able to supply a bigscreen projector
I am still very interested since that will cost
me a lot of money otherwise.
|
| 05.08.03: | I realized I forgot to say. The entrance fee
is 100 SEK as usual.
Also, there is some trouble with the bigscreen.
Blackdroid, who was supposed to supply one, has
got sick. If anyone is driving by car from Stockholm
and is able to pick it up at his home, or if
anyone is able to supply another bigscreen
projector. Please
let me know
asap!
|
| 05.08.03: | Magervalp just told me he's got a free seat
in his datamobile from Gothenburg <-> Linköping.
Contact him for fresh flesh! He also says
he promised one seat to some unknown dude,
and further says that this unknown dude
should contact him.
(Why does Gothenburg have an English name
when other cities don't? Because it's a
harbour town?)
|
| 05.08.02: | People keep signing up. How nice! The dude from
Guru meditation also told me that in addition
to amiga stuff he will most likely be
bringing some 4-player adapters (protovision
I guess), MMC64, retro replay, silversurfers,
joy/mouse-switches and other things.
As a nice bonus, Hollowman just gave me a
bunch of photos from the first LCP (1998) which
is added to the
archive
now.
|
| 05.08.01: | Yeah! I'm back from the future!
Another bunch of dudes signed up
(81 hakkers now) and and party preparations
approaches the boiling point.
Guru Meditation will
be present at the party this year too and sell some hardware.
Mostly Amiga stuff.
Only 4 days left now and you KNOW what that means!
LCP for life!
|
| 05.07.17: | I'll be away for a while, to something
like 1-2 august or so, so don't get
confused if I don't reply to mails
and signups until then. (I may check
mail sometime until then anyway though.)
|
| 05.07.17: | Visitors from last year will surely
remember the furious 4-player gaming
battle in the fresh HT-game*:
|
Tour
de
France
|
|
| | Of course you can look forward to another battle on LCP2005,
this time with a slightly updated game. The game concept is
just the same though. Shake'em joysticks 'til you drop! The
winner will recieve a copy of Goto80/HT's latest album (with
C64/amiga/etc music) so start the wank... I mean shaking
training at home at once!
A big question right now is whether RaveGuru dare show up
to defend his historical Tour de France Grand Prix title from
LCP 2004.
* Game coding by Mathman/HT and graphics farted out by Vinzi/HT!
|
| 05.07.17: | Instructions on how to get to the
partyplace added today!
|
| 05.07.15: | link0pings commodore party
link0pings crazy pardey
link0pings cyber phantasy
link0pings crack phreakdown
link0pings camping plats
link0pings coma psychosis
link0pings...
Whatever you call it, next year
you might have to replace link0ping
with some other place. Probably
Lund or Malm0. This means 2005
is the last time LCP will be held
in the safe vomb of Skylten. Let's
make it something special! Let's
celebrate until we dunno what's
up or down or left or wrong. Next
year we'll be heading for unknown
places and new unknown adventures
again. Join the journey!
|
| 05.07.09: | Rumours say there will be enough
entries for a separate 4ch mod battle,
separated from the c64 sid music battle.
|
| 05.06.18: | 64 people signed up!
|
| 05.06.04: | Someone said today is the 23rd birthday
of the Commodore 64. Dunno if it's true but
horray anyway! (Dunno exactly what counts as
a "birth" for a computer either, as Iopop
pointed out. First machine sold? Can we be sure
about it? Did someone actually see it being
sold? Perhaps it was just a fake machine?)
Amiga will have it's 20th birthday later this year. Crazy,
even though most Amiga freaks don't really
use the original Amiga anymore, which is the
case with c64.
|
| 05.04.29: | Added some concrete stuff to the buy/sell
section. This section is for you, so use it
if you got something to trade, and take
care of the business at LCP (or somehow else).
Just contact me to add advertisements there.
Also, I'm looking for tables for the party.
The usual place was full booked this year, so
I have to get them somewhere else.
Let me know
if you have tips or ideas about this..
|
| 05.04.25: | It may seem silent here, but party
detail feature planning is indeed boiling
behind the surface of vectorized
curtains of madness. O'boy! If anyone got a
video mixer to lend us during the party,
please contact me,
cause we would like to be projected even
further into the coordinate landscapes of
dataland.
By the way; You know who to vote for (me, Frantic)
in the
Tiny SID
compo.
|
| 05.03.16: | Two new sections added: Cooperative Travelling
section and a Buy/Sell/Swap/Give section.
|
| 05.03.16: | Blackdroid/WD gains extra status points
by bringing his bigscreen projector for
LCP, again!
|
| 05.03.08: | A bunch of people signed up, the site
changed server once again, and the site
was updated a little.
|
| ??.??.??: | HCL is the winner of the sign-up-first
compo this year! HCL gains one experience point
and is awarded double
vote-power in the compo voting process at LCP
2005!
|
| ??.??.??: | The pre-www is up
|
|
|
WHASSUP?:
---------
In 1998 a secret 2d pixel palace with special audio capabilities was constructed
for those who still knew what must be done and how to do it. It served as a secret stronghold
for the little computer people of the resistance force,
spontaneously gathered during midnight hours,
so they could defend themselves in an era of accelerating lameness. In this hiding place, protected
and guided by the spirit of true computing, people knew in a heartfelt way that
the struggle must go on,
no matter what great fears that might lurk beyond the future
horizon.
R E V O L U T I O N !
Fresh as always!

BATTLE:
-------
As usual, one category each for demo, graphics and music. Since C64 is the base
platform on LCP and most visitors by far are c64 people there is a
separate battle for
each of the three categories for c64. Other platforms may have separate battles in one
or more of the categories too as long as there is enough entires for that. Else non-c64
entries like handhelds, amiga, atari, and so on, will compete against each other in
the same battle, called the "other platform" battle, which is also separated into
demo, graphics and music battles of course. Compo disks will be kept. Rumours say
that there will probably be enough entries for a separate 4ch mod competition,
separated from the c64 sid music battle.
Just about anything is allowed, except for
entries made in its entirety by people not
present at the party. Some people think such rules are stupid,
but trust us, there is a reason and we know what we are doing.
If you want to compete with some other platform than
C64, Amiga500 then please bring that hardware to the party yourself so we can use
that during the compo.
The LCP voting tool will be handed out on disks after the compo by
the supervisor, so you can
vote on the voting terminals around the partyplace as usual and we can
count the votes in a automatic fashion.

PARTYING IS NOT RULE FOLLOWING:
-------------------------------
But.. In order to make the partyvibes vibrate like vibrato:
Don't bring any PC computers for any other reason than for crossdevelopment for
older computers or consoles, and only if you normally don't do your development on the
real hardware. Otherwise you'll be considered being LAME
and you better get back into your car and go home.
We'll watch you carefully.
Boozing and farting is allowed of course.
Smoking is allowed right outside the door.

SCHEDULE AND LAST MINUTE INFO:
------------------------------
Just to give you an idea...
Friday:
16.00 - Doors open
xx.xx - Demos.. Movies..
xx.xx - Mongo FM on the wheels of steel
late! - Databingo (and/or on request)
Saturday:
xx.xx - Demos.. Movies..
14.00 - 1/X/2 Quiz in the neighbourhood
20.30 - Tour de France compo
21.30 - Compo Deadline
22.30 - COMPO!
xx.xx - Demos.. Movies..
late! - Databingo (and/or on request)
Sunday:
12.00 - Waking up/party over/cleaning/confusion
Bigscreen action:
During the whole party there will be movies and stuff shown
on the bigscreen. The bigscreen is supposed to be used, so if
you want to bring your favourite demo collection and show it,
feel very free to do so.
Other features:
Like last year there will be a Datormagazin-corner and such
things. Also, if you for example would like a HatTrick, IK+
or a Fist Tournament compo, just say so, and we'll take
care of that. Also, don't hesitate to tell me if you feel
that something is missing during the party. It could be
anything from toilet paper to an accidently non-active
bigscreen or so.
Cleaning:
Also, I would appreciate very much if a bunch of people could
help me with the party place cleaning after the party. You don't
have to walk in 2 meters cow shit and drink rotten pukes or so,
but rather I am talking about things like picking a few bottles
and put them in a plastic bag. It's
not a requirement or so - of course - but it would just speed
up the cleaning sooo much (and I probably have to stay there
and clean things up the rest of the day anyway). It would
certainly boost my motivation to keep on organizing LCP year
after year if I got some help.

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T RESIST:
------------------------
|
|
HOW TO GET THERE:
-----------------
The partyplace (called "Skylten") is located about 150 meters from the railway station
(and also the bus stop) in Linköping/Sweden. This means you can easily catch a
train or jump on a bus. Linköping also has an airport but I'm not totally
sure which flights arrive there (from where). Once you have arrived at the
railway station (called "resecentrum") this is how you find your way to Skylten:
You're standing by the railway station. Linköping city is to the south. You hear
sounds from trains in the close vicinity. There is also a bank machine here where you
can get some cash if you want to.
» GO TOWARDS TRAIN SOUNDS
You walked trough (or around) the railway station and now you're standing by the railtracks
behind the station. When you look around you discover a tunnel going under the tracks to the NORTH.
» GO TUNNEL
You're in the darknes of a scary tunnel. There are stairs up to railway track 1, 2 and 3
here. In the end of the tunnel there is stairs to the left wich looks promising.
» GO END OF TUNNEL
As you walked trough the tunnel a crazy killer showed up and killed you in a crazy way.
However, when standing in front of God you demand him to send you back to earth since
you have a very important mission: Getting to LCP. God agrees and let you continue as
if nothing happened.
You're standing in shining daylight again on the other side of the railway tracks. You face
a path in front of you to the WEST leading along the railway tracks. On one side of you there
is a fence.
» GO PATH
After walking about 100 meters you confront a choice of continuing along the path to the
WEST or go trough a opening in the fence to the NORTH.
» GO WEST
An angry railway worker approaches you in lightspeed and starts yelling at you as he runs.
He says he's going to eat you for dinner.
» GO BACK
Back again. You (once again) confront a choice of continuing along the path to the WEST or
walk trough a opening in the fence to the NORTH.
» GO FENCE OPENING
You walk trough the opening in the fence. There is a strange smell of sweat in the air.
There is a bunch of old brick buildings here. To the WEST there is a car parking.
To the EAST is some boring shit you don't want to bother about.
» GO CAR PARKING
You're standing on a car parking. You notice it's quite expensive, but there is a lot
of room for cars there at least. An old turtle with a yellow hat approaches you and tell
you that it is
possible to park your car 300-400 meters away for free among the industrial buildings
in this area. Since you're not driving by car you do not care. The turtle disappears with
a strange grin on his face. When you look up you see another brick building to the NORTH
with metal stairs leading to an open door.
» GO STAIRS
As you approach the stairs you realize that there are homecomputer fanatics everywhere. This
building must be "Skylten"! The happy nerds raise their arms and starts dancing extatically around you
while performing a greeting ritual. CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HAVE REACHED THE LCP PARTYPLACE!
(You can see how you walked by following the green line on the map below.)
---
But, what if you're driving by car? Well, then you should not drive to the railway station as
you'll end up on the wrong side of the railway tracks then. There is mainly three possibilities
of getting over the railway tracks.
1. You happen to be on the right side of the tracks already.
2. Going over a bridge about 500 meters WEST of the railway station. (This is the
alternative indicated by the driving description below.
3. Going under a tunnel about 500 meters EAST of the railway station.
after the busstops.
Check this map:
The partyplace ("Skylten") is marked by a red dot in the middle of the map.
"Resecentrum" is the railway station and the black line corresponds to
the railway tracks. If you're driving to Linköping on the motorway (E4)
you'll either come from the south or the north. In either case I recommend
taking the exit road which goes to IKEA (there should be signs about IKEA
on the E4). Drive towards central Linköping. They are working a bit
with the roads there now so it's a bit chaotic, but if things are going
right you should come to a roundabout ("rondell") after a little while (just
after a little bridge over the railway). You know it's the right roundabout
if there is two gasstations here (Preem and Q8). You should turn left
in this roundabout and you will now be located on "Industrigatan" (which
is coming in from the left on the map here). Drive 500 meters or so
and you'll be in a big-but-not-gigantic crossing which is visible on
the map. To the left from this crossing (another yellow road on the map)
is a bridge over the railway. Check the red dots on the map to see how to drive.
Also there is two red crosses at two
places on the map indicating places where I think it is possible (but I am
not totally sure) to park your car for free. I may very well be wrong. Keep
that in mind.

COOPERATIVE TRAVELLING:
-----------------------
Send me a mail to Frantic if you
want to add a cooperative travelling advertisement (free seats in a car or and
so on) here or if you want to get in touch with anyone having an ad here.
|
Gothenburg - LCP
Magervalp says he's got yet another free seat
in his datamobile which goes Gothenburg <-> Linköping.
Contact him for fresh flesh! He also says
he promised one seat to some unknown dude,
and further says that this unknown dude
should contact him.
|
Denmark/Malmö - LCP
I, Yaemon/dnd, will be coming from Copenhagen and would like to know
if I can hook up with someone coming through Copenhagen or something like that.
Or maybe if I can meet someone in around the Malmö area. I am willing to pay
gas money of course.
|
|
|
BUY/SELL/SWAP/GIVE/WHATEVER:
----------------------------
Perhaps your C64 PLA broke down, or you are in urgent
need of a epyx fastload cartridge to be able to try our your really NEW ideas? Perhaps you
have a crate full of 5.25" disks and Tac-2 joysticks you want to get rid of? Maybe you
just feel lame and cheap and want to sell your soul? In any case, you should put up an
ad here and do the deal on LCP, so you don't have to pay for shipping and all that
kind of shit.

Jan Janssen says...
Hi! My name is Jan Janssen and I am a Commodore collector from germany. I
would like to buy a swedish C64, VIC-20, C128 and C128D. If you got one of
these please contact me. I am a collector and not a trader but if you only
want to trade give it a try and ask me. I will see what I can do. I have a
Drean C64 II (from Argentina) for example.
My email-Address: cyberdyn@web.de. (Jan
is not going to LCP though, which was the idea for this section, but what
the hell...)
