The end is nie, thankfully! Only two more menus to go. 198 features games which slipped beneath the radar, notably :-

Gauntlet III (m)ST(e),TT,f030
Outzone (m)ST(e),TT,f030

To make it even more scrummy you'll find a brand new Dubmood track and CJ has implemented a cross-fading effect (never seen before?!) on the ST. Enjoy.

Due to a thread on atari-forum.com about ST productions for 16 Mhz machines, Leonard of Oxygene decided to fix his demo from STNICCC to run on those machines.

Exclusive scene news for DHS!

Last year D-Bug had their 'Days of D-Bug' event, which seemed to go down quite well. This year D-Bug have decided to have an Atari Advent Calendar full of goodies for you all. Visit their site each day, starting December 1st, 2007, and ending on the magical Christmas Day for a new release from them! Don't try and peek ahead, bad children don't get a visit from Santa! Ho! Ho! Ho! And if you feel like leaving something out for the crew, I'm told a bottle of Rum is always welcome Wink The entire D-Bug team [Cyrano Jones, Showaddywaddy, GGN, Dubmood and ECG] would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastical New Year.

Hi folks! Just for the case someone else besides stu is still using Music-Mon you might be interested in the new version 2.5e fixing 2 non-negligible bugs:

* Replay / SNDH / Editor :

Playback of 100Hz and especially 200Hz Sounds slightly pitched down sample-playback on 8 MHz machines due to timing issues

* Editor:

'SAVE ALL' and 'SAVE PATTERN' introduced 32 Bytes of $0F Bytes at the beginning of each sample on every save process accumulating to a clearly noticeable silence after several save/load attempts (that's an embarassing one)

Thanks to stu calling my attention to both bugs.

Today I begin a new age of Paradize releases.
I have been busy with reallife lately (mainly finishing my studies) so we start this time with an update of my old little utility, the Desktop Configurator.

This little AUTO folder tool allows you to select one out of different DESKTOP.INFs to be in use.

The new version mainly adds TOS detection so it automatically selects whether it has to overwrite DESKTOP.INF or NEWDESK.INF depending on the active TOS.

Grab the tool at http://paradize.atari.org/ and enjoy!

STay cool, STay Atari /|\ !

Today Paradize releases a delayed production, the "Outline 2007 Slideshow". A production exclusively for the Atari Falcon 030.

This is is just a small "Thank you" production aimed at the Outline organizers for organizing such a cool party. My little set of party photos can be seen with small comments in TrueColor graphics with some digi music playing.

Originally I started to work on this right after the Outline 2007 party. However finishing my studies had
priority so I finished the release only of today. Once I had planned to use a real CPU heavy chiptune but it prooved to be too heavy on CPU in the end. So you only get DSP played digimusic by LHS at this time.

Just to make sure, we don't end up with no real after-party releases this time :)

And don't forget: STay cool, STay Atari /|!

Today I put a MSA of Spitzenreiter I on my page. It's a Football Manager I did back in 1991.

For those who didn't hear it through the grapevine yet:

The 5th edition of Outline will take place from Thursday May 1 to Sunday May 4 (Ascension weekend!) at the premises of Te Boomsgoed in Braamt (same location as in 2007 and 2005). The rental contract has been signed some weeks ago, so there is 0% doubt left in our minds :-)

As this event will mark Outline's first lustrum, we are counting on your support to make it the biggest and best Outline party so far. Please be vocal if you have ideas, plans or suggestions for the organising team! And be sure we will be announcing some nice suprises for visitors in the months ahead... :-)

We finally hit the 3000 SNDH mark!
Tonnes of songs in this update, mainly trashy Music Studio 'tunes' from the dawn of the ST.

There are also a few gems, including tunes from a never released game called "Arcade Classix".

Oh and remember the SNDH forum at http://bbs.dhs.nu/tracking/ for requests and general chat.

Glucholazy 2007 was an ATARI party in Poland.

2: Messy - "Messy4Pin"
3: Yerzmyey/H-PRG - "Interes kwitnie"
4: Jury - "Demon9"

The special case edition of warptYMe is still available for sale (Ltd edition of 50).. If you want to order send me an e-mail: orders(AT)lotekstyle.de

After taking a break of almost three years, the Alternative Party is back in strength with a new team, a new venue and new programme (with just a bit of old mixed in). Our special guest will be announced soon but if all goes as planned, it will be one many will want to meet.

As always, Atari has a special place at the heart of the Alternative Party, although many other platforms are to be seen. Indeed, the Atari scene was the impulse for the very first Alternative Party, way back in 1998.

Expecting to see loads of you there!

D-Bug unleashes onto the internet: Menu 197! While a version was released at Outline 2007 to the assembled folks, this is the final build of the menu, complete and ready to be written to floppies everywhere. What's on it? Well, it's a long time favourite and classic game, that surprisingly was never put on a menu (obviously because it doesn't fit on one disk without missing bits out.... *cough* no names *cough*)

Yes, it's Gauntlet II! And as usual, you will find it ST/STe/MegaST/MegaSTE/Falcon Hard Disk compatible/8-16Mhz and also this time, trained with extra health for those of you not brave enough to fight the dragon!

This disk also features two new and exclusive tunes composed for us by new D-Bugger, Dubmood. Expect a lot more fantastic YM noises from us in future releases.

Just 1 day before the party (Well, more than 24 hours, actually..) the Falcon030 invitation intro for this year's Outline party has been released!

It's entitled "HURRY" and with a good reason.

Today The Swedish Atari Club (SAK) released our new webpage! Completely new design and new features! We also want to remind you of this year's Nordic Atari Show that will be held on the last weekend of June. If you are planning to attend, then make sure to get your name on 'the list'! (check the NAS-page)

If you got ideas for making SAK, NAS or the website better, then please post your ideas in our forum!

So.. Check out our new webpage! :) Most pages are in Swedish only, but the NAS-page is translated to English, as usual.


CU@NAS2K7! :D

Finally the long forgotten beta version of Lethal Xcess has been released it has some unique features like:

* Music by Nexus 6 featuring ridiculous SFX and sampled voices :)
* Completely different level design
* Different player weapons (well there are only 2 of them and they are almost the same :)
* A few enemy sprites which didn't made it into the final version
* A modified level 3 boss featuring 2 heads
* Non existing loadable level logics, so the game will run the same level logic again with a non matching set of tiles :) you could call it a bug, but the truth is loadable level logic wasn't included at that time.
* Tons of sprites
* A modified skull bonus symbol, which acts like a smart bomb instead of downgrading your weapon systems.
* Losing a life means only losing one weapon power unit, not all of them.
