https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=5864Alcatraz Pentcost Party 1990 was held at the Centre Culturel du Chene in Aubonne, Switzerland. Alcatraz was originally to have arranged this party (together with Brainstorm) in april, but the original plans fell through. There was a dj with a huge light and laser show, a large screen, around the clock movies and a snack bar, so there was plenty of activities to get into. Separate sleeping quarters were available in a nearby hall. This may very well have been the first instance of females getting free entrance to a demo party. As we know, this became the norm in the years to follow. The winner of the demo competition won an A1000, the second place took home an Action Replay cartridge and some empty disks.

https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=5270'After this period of demos, we started to work on a Point and Click adventure game, planned for PC, Playstation, and Linux called Immanis for the Cryogen label, a startup created in 1996. It was a superb project which never saw the light of the day due to questions around money and because the timing was wrong: editors and Publishers of the time didn't believe in Point and click adventures anymore.'

https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=5272"Later we started developing a game called Immanis, and we already had dedicated tools for making parallax masks etc. The project was started on the Amiga and then continued on PC before being abandoned - this doesn't fit in the context of demos, however it was inspired by them."

“I'd like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Alain Malek (Hornet) who left us far too soon. We'd launched ambitious projects together, like a game called Immanis, and we even intended to start a company together. Unfortunately, he left us only a few days after signing the notary to found the company.” Demoscene: The Aga years (2020:117)
