Demosplash 2019 took place last weekend in Pittsburgh, USA and saw a good amount of releases entered in the various competitions. As often with events in North America, the ASCII/ANSI competition in particular got some very strong entries.

Portuguese demoparties have historically been few and far between (as far as we can tell from the worldwide demoparty map compiled by Conspiracy from Demozoo data) so any new one feels precious. Inércia 2019 took place last weekend in Almada and all releases are now available, including a port of the cult (in Portugal at least) Portuguese ZX Spectrum game "Paradise Café".

Another year, another Syntax in Melbourne, Australia, and like good wine, it only gets better with age. The oldschool force was strong in that one, so be sure to check out the graphics competitions!

That's right, the first edition of CAFe was way back in 1999 on its home turf in Kazan, Russia. Over 150 releases were presented this year to celebrate the event turning 20, but it certainly wasn't all about quantity with plenty of releases being a pleasure for the eyes and/or the ears.
