                           ----------------

   Aggressive Party is an Atari (ST/TT/Falcon030) Party, but there are
   also some Amiga- and PC-competitions.  It is organized by Aggression
   and Future Crew.
   Falcon030 will be strongly visible at the party - Thanks to ION Finland.
   They will also have some new exciting Atari hardware to demonstrate.

   Note for Finns only: Suomalaisille on Falconista oma Party-tarjous.
   Tarjous on hyvin edullinen, ja maksu voidaan hoitaa vaikkapa osamak-
   sulla. Alle 18 vuotiaille tarvitaan vanhempien takaus. Tarjous on
   voimassa vain ja ainoastaan partyilla. Soitelkaa meille juuri ennen
   partyja ja kysykaa lisaa.

   Where and When?
   ---------------

   The Party will be held in Europes biggest indoor amusement park called
   Planet FunFun. It is located in Kerava, Finland, approximately 30 km
   north of Helsinki. It starts on Friday, 8th of October at 16:00 and ends
   on Sunday, 10th of October at 18:00. We can let foreign visitors to
   enter as early as 12:00 on Friday, because usually ships from Sweden and
   Germany arrive in Helsinki in the morning.

   Planet FunFun is an excellent place for demo-parties. We have rented a
   big hall for you and your computers and a smaller separate hall for
   sleeping. There are also showers next to the smaller hall. And lots of
   free parking space.

   We have also an "amphitheather", in which we can show competitions and
   movies on big screen. There is a couple of hundred seats, so this time
   you don't have to stand to see anything.

   The best thing though is: The whole amusement park is at your use. The
   gadgets in it are in use only 10:00-18:00 Saturdays and Sundays, when it
   is open for normal audience also, but we have some special arrangements
   with it's restaurants. (Which serve also alcohol...) There will be food
   and soft drinks available 24h, and you can also buy proper meals at
   19:00-21:00 from a restaurant called Harlin's Diner. Alcohol will also
   be served at Harlin's diner at 21:00-24:00, but only for those who have
   had their 18th birthday...

   Also the arcade-games in it are at use 24h, as well as "Nintendo Land".

   Restaurants are of course open also when the amusement park is open for
   normal audience.

   How to get there
   ----------------

   It is very easy to get to Kerava. If you come by ferry to Helsinki and
   have a car with you, just follow the sings "Lahti" which leads you to
   the Lahti-highway (E75 or 4). Then turn off the highway at Kerava, and
   follow the signs "Planet FunFun". We will also put some Aggressive Party
   signs there.

   If you come by ferry and don't have a car with you, you can come by
   train. Take train with label "K" and get off at Savio-station (the one
   before Kerava). You will stand right in front of Planet FunFun. We will
   arrange a free transport service from Helsinki to Kerava for computers,
   so you don't have to carry your monitor with teeth when you walk to the
   station. You can call our info-phone from the ship and ask when the
   next car will arrive.

   For those who come by plane it is also easy to get to the Kerava, since
   there is bus from airport to Kerava. To make your travelling even more
   easier we can come and fetch you from the airport if you just inform
   us beforehand. It will cost you only 10 FIM.


   Entrance fee
   ------------

   Entrance fee is 100 FIM.
   Lockers are available for you without any extra cost.


   Info-line
   ---------

   We will have a 24-h info line during the party. Its number is

                           +358-(9)0-294 4023

   As you can see, it is Xenits home number. We will just transfer the
   calls coming to it to Planet FunFun. If you call it from Finland drop 358
   and if from Finland near Helsinki drop 90.


   Competitions
   ------------

   There are competitions for Atari, PC and Amiga, and a music (module)
   competition for all computers, since protracker mod-format is so widely
   used accross the platforms.

   In all competitions we will have an initial jury consisting of us and
   our sponsors, which selects the best 20 productions in every competition.
   Then the final jury consists of the authors of these productions.

   DEADLINE for all competitions is at 14:00 on Saturday, 9th October, 1993.

   There may be some minor changes in prizes, if we will get some new
   sponsors. The promised value of the prize will not change, there may
   just be a bit more hardware.

   with you, you will get "red" strap and you can't buy alcohol from
   restaurants.

   You can buy alcohol at our Party, but this doesn't mean you are allowed
   to make trouble, neither you are allowed to drink your own liqueurs.
   We do not hesitate to contact police. A little note to those who have
   had a contact with police during Assembly '93... we know your names and
   will not let you enter.

   Also selling food, disks or hardware is forbidden. This doesn't mean
   we have very high prices for these, in fact, we will sell disks on
   non-profit basis, and the food in restaurants is very affordable.
