What was the coolest prize you won at a party??

category: general [glöplog]
Money that I lost? With the Creep Tea 1st place at the GP2X I got 300 euros in my paypal account. I was off from computer because of the army and when I tried to remember my paypal password I couldn't. Later I pressed on something and it let me go into the account but I had 0 euros. I still can't understand what went on but I prefered to forget this and move on. I was very angry and didn't tried to contact the admin of paypal. Afteralls I enjoyed making the demo and winning the compo :)

The only other time (and maybe first time) I received something for a demo was with the 3rd place at Primary Star competition and I got a bug full of C64 warez (some original tape games and various other things). While I never tried to run the tape games I was very happy and motivated with that one :)

well, I don't know about the coolest prize we've won but I know about the prizes we *haven't* won and those were those fingerprint readers at Assembly 2006. Talk about luck.. :-P

Cynic, I'm still using the mp3o player (the one from 64k compo). Copied whole lot of mp3's into a 120gb drive and it's still there inside. :)

But the coolest prize won? Hmmm, must be ice-cream from some small Finnish summer party. Or the soap from the Norwegian one. ;) Superballs and cookies at one freezing winter party were nice as well, not to mention 12 caps, 7 t-shirts, 1 wrist watch (all AMD-branded), C&C Tiberian Sun and a cruise from Stockholm brought home from a distant Swedish party.

A OpalVision graphics card for the A2000 in the graphics compo at The Gathering 1993.

Didn't know what to do with the darned thing, so I persuaded the sponsors to give me a nice A1200 with a huge HD instead. :D

Ah... not to forget: at Big Floppy I won a set of lego basket players and a pirate flag which I gave to Hyde's son. And a horror film which I haven't had the guts to see yet.

Not that I've ever won much anyway, but clearly the best thing ever is the original design document for Donald Duck's Playground which we earned with this.

(Apparently I was the only guy involved who had actually played the game back in the day :))

I won something like this at a compo (was it crau 2002?) to muscle my hands to become better at code. Obviously, it didn't work so well.
