It was supposed to compete, but as I remember it we weren't allowed to participate since someone had the opinion "but it's written in quickbasic?" or something like that. We were not happy at all... :-(
So yes, it was released outside the competition with an angry comment shown at the end since we didn't get to compete... ;-)

Hmm,. that's a lame. A demo is a demo since it's realtime regardless the language.
We disqualified an entry written in Qbasic at The Gathering in 2002 or something. The authors were furious and came raging into the democrew room. They left a bit more understanding, seeing as their textmode piece of garbage spent 9 minutes painting some letters on the screen. It was supposed to happen in less than 5 seconds.
Oddly enough, that "demo" also featured a moose. Go figure.

bugs like hell
Yes, we tried to compete with this at Assembly 94. Then Sonic PC (well, at least that is why Liket wrote "Fuck Sonic PC. Fuck Sonic PC" all over the end of the released version) apparently didn't think that a demo written in Qbasic could compete. :-(
Well, we had fun at the party anyway. :-)

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,
do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost.

Now, what is a bit of amazing is that it is a really nice demo (with a bit oldschool effects mostly) that is written entirely in quickbasic according to the authors. They say that it would be bad in ET4000 but runs quite well in my 386 with ET4000. Except from fun hardware scrollers there are some dot routines which are smooth here and few more fun stuff. A start.bat file renames the rest to exe files and runs them and a player with nice GUS music here. Quite impressive if it's just quickbasic running on my 386!
