Breakpoint 2009 Results Released

About one week ago, from the 10th to the 13th of April 2009, world's biggest demoparty, Breakpoint 2009 - "Everything is under control", took place for the 7th time in Bingen am Rhein, Germany. In case you are not familiar with what a demoparty is or why there are any results, check out this little explanation:

"A demoparty is -- on first view -- like a LAN party. Depending on the size, a few or hundreds of visitors may bring their computers and set them up at the location. Unlike a LAN party, Demoparties have an emphasis on creativity. Attendants are encouraged to compete in scheduled competitions (referred to by demosceners as 'compos'.) These 'compos', spread out over the length of the party, are in categories that allow the attendants to showcase their artistic talents with the use of computers.

In short: a demoparty is a multimedia art festival that usually lasts for several days.

The Demoscene considers itself as a loose connection of creative minds with passions of creating digital art. A 'demo' is created by groups of people, or sometimes single individuals, to DEMOnstrate their skills. The traditional skill base of the demoscene is considered to be coding, music, and design."

The competitions at this year's Breakpoint were held in these categories: ASCII/ANSI art, tracked music, animation/video, console/real wild, 96K game, executable 4K graphics, photo, handmade graphics, freestyle graphics, C64 graphics, exe music (newschool), exe music (oldschool), streaming music, C64 demo, Amiga 4K intro, Amiga 64K intro, Amiga demo, PC 4K intro, PC 64K intro, and last but certainly not least PC demo.

Without further ado, here are the official and final top ten results in both the PC 64K intro and PC demo competitions, which are arguably the most prominent:
