It's already *20 long* years since the birth of this scene predator. I believe that most of you keep in mind these great memories, when Falcons landed on your desks, first screens featuring sweet pictures, colourful plasmas and crystal sound-samples... It was like the announcement of a new era coming up in front of our eyes! All of us were so proud and so excited watching the very first releases like "WARUM" by Lazer or preview of the forthcoming "Space Junk" game from Imagitec Design Inc. The dream of every Atarian suddenly started to perform! Unfortunately PeeZee was growing so fast, and flooded every free corner of our lives. Thanks to such events like Fried Bits, Siliconvention or Error in Line our machines got blessed by some great scene-releases: who doesn't remember "Eko System" by Eko? "Lost Blubb" by Lazer, "Obnoxious" by Inter Development, "Sili Con Carne" by Escape, "Demolition" by DHS, "Eggstasy" by Therapy or the epic "Sonolumineszenz" by AVENA? Not to mention some really cool tools released under Falcon wings, just like Apex Media, Neon 3D, Digital and Graoumf Tracker... Years passed us by... and what's left ? First of all great memories! Even if this machine seems to be a bit forgotten nowadays, there's still magic in the old box. So c'mon, let's celebrate the *20th Falcon Anniversary* via the biggeST international ATARI-only event in Poland - "Silly Venture 2k12" - 100% Atari spirit, over 100 visitors, compo entries for all Nolan's and Tramiel's toys - plus (what's important too) all run on REAL hardware.
