Even a decade later who has forgotten TEX, the UNION or EMPIRE, endless
scrolltexts, demos that were actually better than commercial games of that time
and so forth. Ten years ago. The Falcon died in the egg but the ATARI scene was
still here, crews faded away while new crews were created. Because we don't
need another computer to keep the Atari spirit alive Atarians work together
just for the fun of it.
And that's because I want to preserve such spirit that I've decided to carve
its presence in the Internet. Because we can't -and don't want to- forget about
the last 10 wonderful years, because we still believe in our future and because
that Atari ST is still lying on my desk, we'll keep the faith.
Therefore I'm glad to invite you, readers, long time or new Sceners (either on
ST, Falcon...) to add a stone to this wall and make it bigger and bigger.
I need you to work with your memories to be able to set ut the most complete
Atari database regarding ST and Falcon democrews : crewnames and creation
(specific logo, productions, member status, mergers, any significant date and
so on), detailed members data with name and first name, email, photo, activity
and so on). Whoever they were and whatever they did they ALL deserve to be in
the database.
That was all for the business part.
The idea almost came to me by accident when I coincidentially met Tsunoo
(founder of TROLL & Co. in 1987 !). We talked a lot reviving good memories and
gradually resolved to get in touch with people we used to meet (STCS for
instance). Very few of these people, now married and remote for the Atari
world, have forgotten their past. Actually when looking for some of these
people I happened to find about the current scene, still active, different from
the former one but very attractive. Even tho Tsunoo doesn't have an St anymore
I can tell you that mine is far from dead. When talking with The Paranoid,
Marcer, Edo, George, EViL,... I felt that urge to start coding again. That's
why my site isn't dedicated to the past, but to the living "Atari spirit".
From A-Team to Zuul, via Sector One or DHS, I have gradually started collecting
data for this tremendous project with the help of Mc Laser, MoonDog, Grazey,
Strider, SWE, EViL and many others. It sounds insane and hard to complete but
as Claudia ususally says : you're worth it! :)
Visit this ATARI database at http://www.st.scene.free.fr (soon to be redirected
to scene.atari.org)
Current status : 215 crews and 698 sceners are in the database
