HOMEPAGES
---------------- another selection brought to you by STsurvivor ---------------
Hello Atarians ! Last time I told you about some _essential_ homepages and I
hope you've found out how needed they were ! This time I am going to unveil more
homepages related to an event, a crew or an invention... Let's ride the Fuji now
By the way I've decided to offer you a general view on these sites and _not_ to
detail them too much. Why ? Well first you wouldn't be surprised at all and then
most of these sites feature too many sections to be listed :)
STNICCC
http://stniccc.atari.org email :richard@stniccc.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The STNICCC - or ST News International Christmas Coding Convention is THE
party we are all waiting for these days ! It is organized by famous former ST
News main editor Richard Karsmakers and will gather all Atari Sceners from the
legendray crews that started it all 15 years ago to... the ones who compose the
current Atari scene. In other words, it's gonna be the _most ambitious_ coding
party ever organized (at least as far as concept is concerned). No event can be
without a homepage and STNICCC's site is here to answer most questions. Tho a
bit sober, this site features a really nice looking STNICCC banner and readable
design in the main menu and other pages.
The various sections thus offer the latest news (like location details and
other updates), the list of attendants (read it and drool !!!), but also party
compos, rules... You could also learn about previous ST News convention and
enjoy cool links to a glorious past.
Besides you will be able to suscribe to the party online, learn more about
party goers with the "attendant of the day" photo and a countdown will try to
content you till the real party begins ! If you feel interested in this party,
wish to know the usual who/where/when things, suscribe... then visit it right
now ! You are also invited to read the latest STNICCC news in this issue.
plus minus
- stylish tho in a sober way - STNICCC and not much more :(
- very informative and detailed - you may get lost in there !
- an incredible list of attendants - useless once the party's over
- almost impossible to find an
organizer email !!!
TSCC
http://tscc.atari.org email : mc_laser@atari.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tSCc's page has been online for quite a long time by now but it's never been
reviewed so far so let's do it ! First thing you'll notice is that this site is
highly stylish but how come it wouldn't be with such a designer as MC Laser (I
don't know if Dynacore or other inactive tSCc members still update these pages).
Actually this homepage perfectly mixes web design and ascii design !
You will quickly realize that this site is also incredibly detailled ! You
will naturally find your way through the usual sections such as the news,
download area, softography, modules section, history and links... But there are
also many other pages to visit like the Ascii Art, Linux site, Lotek HQ and many
others ! Even though there are not so many updates these days, except for Fading
to Twilight (see the menu for more info), you HAVE to visit these pages at least
once, you'll undoubtedly find something interesting ! Last but not least we can
dream of new tSCc productions in the future :)
plus minus
- MC Laser's style everywhere - active or inactive band ?
- get all tSCc prods and more ! - you won't visit it every day
- it leads to so many others pages ! - should we expect new demos ?
FUN
INDUSTRIES
http://homebase.fun-industries.nl email : nut@casema.net
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No need to introduce famous Dutch Falcon crew FUN Industries. So far we had
to do with members pages such as BONUS's, now NUT brings us a real crew homepage
from which you can get info on the whole crew ! Since this HQ was put up only a
few days ago, it is still far from completed but I hope it's gonna be regularly
updated and thus allow us to get all FUN productions and more !
So what can you already find there ? First you are welcomed with a great
looking picture by Havoc (the Plastic Surgery one). The main menu is stylish and
very pleasant to the eye. As said before there isn't much to see right now but
you can already download all FUN productions, enjoy links or get info on the
crew. To be honest I have not visited it too deeply for lack of time but I know
that some sections like Havoc's gfx gallery or D-Force msx section are still
missing. I hope NUT will work on the site and soon offer us a lot more !
plus minus
- at least FUN's homepage - still under construction
- download section's here - will there be gfx gallery, msx
section, tools ????
BEN
HECKENDORN
http://www.geocities.com/funmazer email : benheck@mwt.net
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benjamin is a nice guy, I guess and surely a crazy one ! On his page you are
about to witness the result of his latest idea... Get prepared for a shock ! One
day this American Atarian decided to create a portable VCS 2600 ! Yes, you could
laugh at the idea, but have a look at this :
It sounds damm crazy but he made it ! And I can tell you that most of us
would kill to own such a machine ! Anyway stop dreaming now, this is surely the
only one available and of course you cannot buy it. Instead of lamenting, you
should have a look at this fully detailled site which offers a lot of pictures,
videos, explanations and more !
plus minus
- who doesn't want a portable VCS ? - well you cannot get one :(
- as crazy as interesting ! - same as above :(
