Atariscne.Org
Dear visitor,

as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.

There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to update the site with new content have been a show stopper.

But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation. We've opened a new site for news about the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.

DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.

We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope you'll find Atariscne.org a good replacement!


Blast from the past

UPDATED! D-Bug releases double new disks January 28th, 2004
Two new disks from D-Bug released tonight, #180 and #181 (not much of a surprise there).

Disk 180 contains SuperFly and Roger, requires 1MB. Disk 181 contains Mercenary III, Turn N Burn, Cave Mania +.

Intros are made by DHS (#180, original music by 505 and graphics by C-Rem and #181 is made by Cyrano Jones with music by Rhino and graphics by C-Rem and Pursy).

UPDATE!

The released #180 had a bug which made it fail on 1MB machines, it has now been fixed. Please download the corrected #180 below.

JagFest UK 2004 report! June 13th, 2004
JagFest UK 2004 ended just hours ago and, and we already have a nice report from the party kindly provided by CiH of the Alive mag team.
Here we go:

Jagfest he says..

It's Sunday evening, I'm in dire need of a brain replacement, and I haven't even unpacked my bags from the trip, having only just got back from the night before...

Events (Me) and economics (Felice) dictated that we couldn't stay down in historic teenage single mother infested Rochester for the whole two days of the event. Instead, we resolved to make the very best of the Saturday there. And there was a lot to take in, with the format expanded from last years successful party. The Jaguar scene took pride of place, with large screen appearances of many tournament favourites such as Battlesphere, and the unavoidable Tempest 2000. There were even bits and pieces of new stuffs to be seen, and a decent range of hardware and software for both Jag and Lynx on sale, courtesy of 16/32 Systems.

The Cheshunt Computer Club and ourselves managed to make the case for the non-console side of Atari, and a number of people did take an interest in my CT60. It behaved very well on the day. On the STe in the far corner, people were invited to try to stop the (in)famous Badger demo with the reset button, and several of them were caught out by that little joke ;-)

Several rival formats filled the corners, including a large presence from a bunch of C64 enthusiasts we met in Birmingham at the Micromart show. They survived the taunting and playing of loud martial arts movies from the MyAtari section ;-) They were cool guys who fitted in very well to the overall spirit of the Jagfest UK.

The show has its social side, and we spotted the Mad Butcher as our main non-UK visitor. He seemed to be enjoying himself hugely. The rest was a case of renewing acquaintances with the familiar jagscene crowd from last summer. To finish off the Saturday evening, Nick Harlow organised a barbeque in the hotel garden, dodging rain showers. He must have known what he was doing, as none of us have succumbed to violent vomiting fits so far...

We regretfully tore ourselves away from what was shaping up to be a long and interesting evening of hardcore console games playing at 10.00pm. I guess things carried on in the same happy vein for Sunday, and I hope we are going to make it again next year. Okay, this is short and lame, stronger and longer report to follow sometime.

Oh, and one last thing, 'Badger Badger Badger Badger!!'
