We threw a release party in Helsinki on the eve of FlatOut's launch (4th of November 2004). It was a memorable evening with over 200 guests from Finland and abroad. Needless to say, we had a really great time and partied like there was no tomorrow =).

Jussi Laakkonen, Bugbear's business development director was the designated speaker for the evening, here seen waiting to get the show started.

Over 200 persons attended the FlatOut release party

It wasn't really a boring speech, really! =)

Oh okay, it would have been boring if we wouldn't have showed videos of FlatOut for half of the time =).

One of those lifesaving videos playing.

David Pringle, development director from Empire Interactive, together with executive producer Steve Hickman also participated at the event. David had some really nice compliments for us, thanks for all the kudos!

Petri Järvilehto, producer from Remedy Entertainment, our good friends, was also at hand. Petri hijacked the microphone and offered the good Bugbear folks some nice champagne to drink.

Naturally, a winner in any race deserves a trophy. Here's Tatu Blomberg, our technical director holding the FlatOut trophy.

Janne Alanenpää, our managing director, is admiring the trophy, while everybody is gearing up for popping the champage.

Janne is also getting his bubbly ready. Audience beware, flying corks coming soon!

Tatu was feeling happy with completing Bugbear's first console game.

The only way to drink champagne...

is of course straight from the trophy =).

Reko, one of our graphicians is looking very thirstily at the trophy.

Juha, one of our graphicians, is taking a good long sip of the bubbly.

And the trophy goes on to the next person.

Enough drinking, it's time to play FlatOut!

Mikko, our art lead, is admiring the game.

We had a fair bit of challenge cups and high jump was one of the most popular events.

FlatOut was also playble with HyperStim racing setups. Ultracool way to experience it!

I think somebody just crashed =).
