Haq of Omega writes (ripped from his Pouet.Net description):
20 years ago the Omega demo was released. This was Omegas first release.
This was not the prettiest demo around but technically advanced for its time.
The demo was very rushed and quite buggy as we wanted to release it at the Sync Convention, the first convention we visited.
The demo is not that well known and got overshadowed by the Union Demo that was released the month after.
To celebrate the Omega demo we decided to release some old mostly unreleased work.
This is not a demo in the ordinary sense but a collection of demoscreens. Many incomplete.
In fact the only demo with sound is the demo we won the demo competition with at the Mega Leif Convention.
Back then we didn't think that that demo was good enough to release but it has been requested.
We hope your expectations of this mythical demo is not too high :)
There is also a demo showing a game we developed called Eutanasia as well as a bunch of pictures from RED.
These disks were compiled sometime in the summer/fall of 92 and sent to Atari in a try to impress them into contract with us somehow.
This was when the Falcon030 was about to be released.
I don't remember exactly what happened but we became official Falcon developers and had a Falcon pretty early.
XiTEC was a company owned by HAQ and TFE of Omega.
You can read more about the Omega demo as well as the stuff on these disks in the readme file.
Omega releases these disks as a historical document, hope you will enjoy or find them interesting.
Yes you read it right, their missing winner demo from possibly the biggest Atari demo party ever is finally released (disk 1 ste/show.prg):-)

Ray of .tSCc. writes:
hi everyone,
this is ray typing. since i didn't have any ATARI related releases this year which i thought is a pitty i decided to make up a little slideshow for the TT030 featuring some specific interlacing-mode i made up a while ago which is capable of displaying 1280x480 pixels and 32 colors per scanline (at a flickering 30Hz refresh rate as a natural drawback).
The minimal configuration to run the program is a TT030 (32Mhz) 4+4MB ram and a VGA-monitor, of course.
The timing is quite critical so don't expect it to run on old daughterboard
(16 Mhz??) TTs, or with the cache turned of. the pictures shown are not particularly christmas/new year's related or anything just some random stuff collected via google's image-search, so i hope i won't get sued by anyone :).
The demo also features a 50Khz stereo sample-loop lasting roughly 20 seconds and which is taken from omar rodriguez album "calibration" (the song is called "las agrimas de arakuine") - some _incredible_ drumming by thomas pridgen on that track... go check it out in case you're interested.
A little VU-meter is displayed in the lower screen area as well so i didn't have any CPU-time left for a scroller - at least unless i would have used some much more complicated code. so no scroller this time... sorry.
you can exit the slideshow hitting space as usual.
each image is lz77-packed, but nonetheless the executeable takes about 3Mb of diskspace. if you don't have the possibility to transfer files of this size to your machine don't even bother (ghostlink is a bad idea i assume), otherwise enjoy.

Leonard of Oxygene released his STe/TT/Falcon Amiga music demo today. It's over three hours worth of Amiga music, most in form of "chip"-like tracks.
Many well known for Atari dudes but also big bunch of a bit less known tracks, all are really good. The demo uses Leonards new Paula emulator which focuses on accuracy rather than speed and it sounds really good.

At Outline 2008 I did a live set debuting many new tracks. I told everyone at the time a new album would be soon out containing all the new
material. of course, there was lots of delays...
But, finally, its now available on the highly reputable 8bitpeoples records! attendees of outline 2008 should recognise most of material, which
has been recorded in the form of a live album.
The only instruments you hear are one atari ste, a drum kit, and a flying V through a seriously cranked marshall.
music - written and performed by gwEm and Counter Reset
artwork - Colin/preromanbritain

I've been working on this for a while, and now need a break. So it's time to make it public.
It's basicly a database over Atari graphics. I've been ripping and ripping and ripping and.. yeah you know the deal. To start with we have over 600 pictures available and an easy login-free system for comments.
It goes without telling that the graphics is all Atariscene-related and I've tried to make as accurate descriptions as possible including display methods, resolution, used colours and software. We have only scratched the surface yet, there are litterary thousands of pictures waiting to be ripped and put into picdb. Help is welcome!
The page also looks quite empty, it's all about the data so far, but I hope someone will send a nice logo :-)

It's nearly Xmas, the turkey is getting nervous, and all around the Atariscene sits waiting, keenly anticipating.
Well it doesn't look like we're getting a new CT60 demo now, but hopefully this is the antidote to that 'Socks for Xmas' feeling. It's the assorted cobbling together of my Alt Party '08 mobycam footage into a unified whole, to give a damn fine taster of the whole party experience.
The usual disclaimers for shonky shaky footage, and generally terrible picture quality but massively atmospheric subject matter, apply in full force here...

Thanks to MugUK by way of atari-forum and Evil from DHS :) , there is now an easy way to get hold of the video footage filmed at The Great British International ST Party from 1992.
Quality is as you would expect from a hand held video camera from the early nineties, but if you were there you should be able to spot yourself,
probably looking a lot younger and with longer hair :)

64 new or updated SNDH files (70 tunes).
A small update for you compared with recent releases. But this is the knock on effect of less new tunes being released.
Note there are a couple of SNDH-Digi tunes for your delectation, notably 505's awesome 'More or Less Zero' and Gargamel's 'Tyranny'.

Some North American chip musicians complained they can only find 520 machine in their countries. Also, I knew NTSC support could have
been done better. To address this I present a 'North American Special Edition' of maxYMiser Live. It seemed appropriate to release
this version on Columbus Day - a holiday thoughout North America.
It include improved NTSC support, and support for ancient 520 machines.
To support 520 machine I had to remove some stuff in the 520 version *only*:
- ice pack/depack - anything sample related
- microwire
- the nice STSurviour start screen
I also:
- reduced number of SID waveform and syncbuzzer steps in the 520 version
- added new more informative disk error messages
Furthermore a removed two mallocs from the replayer - your memory management /might/ be a bit better with DMA music now.

For those of you with a quick broadband connection and a taste of live YM music.
Crazy Q / DHS performed last night at the Kafé 44 in Stockholm and a full hour of video footage is available. Beware though, it's a massive 550MB download.
With a bit of luck a smaller file will be available some days ahead.

Hi again,
since there were no complaints about VGA/50 Hz and Kalms was so kind he helped me with the last bug, I'm happy to tell you Ocean Machine is here!
Btw this demo is true delicacy for CT60 users with Nemesis/Phantom/bus boost and ~80 MHz -- on my setup I haven't seen one effect under 25 FPS and 50 FPS wasn't anything special at all! :)
OK, enough crap, enjoy the view :)

Hi everyone,
after some experiments with 8-bit coding (I failed, I wasn't able to code one simple slideshow :-) I'm back in Falcon coding.
I was thinking about making some update to Silkcut because there was awful bug in the 1.01 version -- fading routine was totally messed up which results in incorrect display of TBL logos + affects framerate as well.
So this update fixes it plus adds:
- VGA 60 Hz support (I really hope no one will have problems with LCDs anymore)
- color greetings! (Kalms and me decided it doesn't look *that* bad, esp. on TV)
- special version of greetings for 60 Hz (thanks, Kalms!)
- much nicer tunnel sequence
On the other side, there's some hidden bug (in my port, in the original demo, in the universe, ... :-) which means that tunnel looks either fantastic or jerky. In in week I wasn't able to catch it, I give up, sorry folks. It's just a port after all... It seems the best chances to see perfect effect you have on 66 MHz machine, it's kind of sync problem, that's all I can say about it...
P.S. I'd like to ask -- how many of you had problems with that 50 Hz version? I ask because Ocean Machine is much, much more knitted to 50 Hz than Silkcut and citing Kalms: "fixing" that will be a bitch :-)

Yeah, we have content for the geeks too!
Brad Templeton, chairman of EFF and, in his own words, the founder of the first dotcom (ClariNet) is to appear at the Alternative Party. He is also a member of the board at BitTorrent and is, apparently, an active C64 coder.
Additionally we will have live performances of UX (including main guitarist of Amorphis) and one of Finland's most famous DJs, Proteus. Desert Planet, an eccentric bitpop band, will be kicking out some chip beats with their famous live show.

Setok of Aggression writes:
Rumours have been doing the rounds for months, but now I can finally confirm that yes, the talk has been true. One of the largest pioneers of industrial and electronic music, Front 242, is to appear live at the next Alternative Party, fulfilling a dream that we have had for many years.
Starting with their first recordings in 1981 Front 242 brought a whole new harsh, meaty and beaty approach to electronic music with many hit tracks such as Tragedy For You, Religion and the all-time #1 club hit, Headhunter.
Front 242 has a big impact on scene music, influencing many musicians along the years. The most obvious examples on the ST are the demos 'Punish Your Machine' (takes its name from one of their tracks) and the famous 'Grotesque' by Omega, which remixed a 242 track and used a
lot of their visuals.
Interestingly enough 242 has not been aware of the demoscene, even though their live visuals are full of demo style effects. This will, however, be the first time that they will experience the heated competition, visuals and buzz that are prevalent at parties. Yes, they are going to be staying for the whole party to watch the compos as well as playing their full live set on Friday, so demo crews better release some hot material! They will also be giving a speech on music and art on Saturday.
This is the 10th anniversary of the Alternative Party and we have reserved the biggest, coolest hall we could find. Two floors, industrial architecture (an old Nokia cable factory), lounges, seminars, prizes and of course 242 and other special guests. The theme of the party is to look back at the dawn of the computing age, when Charles Babbage was designing his first steam-powered computer systems, with the help of the world's first programmer, Lady Ada.
We have been working months to finalise this deal and I can honestly say there's never been such a big band playing at a demo party before. It is going to kick rear ends like nothing has done before.
The party starts on October 24th and continues to the 26th.

Snippet from the readme file:
This demo was started around 1991 while my group was trying to finish out giga demo, the Phaleon Demo.
Since I did all the tools used to make the Phaleon using GFA Basic, I had a pretty good idea of how to write some decent code. Now well, university, beer, and other factors comploted to make sure the demo would never be finished.
So in 1992 it was abandonned.
And in 2008 I finally managed to find the various floppies and hard-drive backups containing parts of what should have been a 10 minute long something demo with partial fullscreens, etc...

We've been a while, but here is Epic (ST/STe/MSTe/TT/F030/HD) Some notes for this for Falcon users - the game will randomly lock up if you use
the mouse or the joystick, so please use the keyboard. Sorry for this, but after many hours in the code, I decided to boot it out the door 'as is' and maybe return to it later. All other Atari owners, just play as usual with your input device of choice. (CJ recommends a PeST with a Microsoft Optical Mouse)

NAS 2008 has been, and there are a couple of releases.
First out is PeP with a new NES emulator for high end Atari machines.
PeP writes:
I've released a preview of my experimental NES emulator for 060-equipped machines. It's based on a heavily modified version of NESCore, a nice open source NES emulation library.
.tSCc. also released a new game for the Falcon. Eight players can battle at once.
kRadD writes:
Finally after more than 3 years, I released my game Grenzüberschreitung at the NAS:
Grenzüberschreitung (engl.: crossing the border) is the first ever released game written in lua for the ATARI. It's also the first game ever that uses 2 Teamtaps to allow 8 players to participate on the falcon. The game itself is a tron clone for 8 players. The game was released 2005 at the Outline, and after rewrite it 2-3 times so finally this is the Version 1.0. Thanks to all people who helped me: DaFreak / Liquied Sky Records (for an finally unused cover, which was used more than a year at
competitions), 505 for the music, Samurai / Inter for the final cover, Reservoir goods for the GodLib, lua.org for lua, Bitmaster for the mod player, Christos for beta testing, and all the players who participated in the last years in Grenzüberschreitungs competitions and give a lot of feedback.

The fifth Outline party ended today and releases have started to come in.
There were four demos/intros for ST machines including new ones from Paradox, Lineout and Checkpoint. Further on there were a number of bootsector intros, music and graphic contributions.
Some of the releases are collected on our download page for Outline 2008. The winning Paradox demo is said to be available later after some bugfixing have been made.

From the readme file:
This version of PicrossST is a tournament version of the game, NOT a demo of the full PicrossST game.
It creates a random grid you have to resolve : you have 45 seconds to mark a full cell. To do so, use the indications on the left and top of the grid. It count the consecutives full cell in the row/column.
PicrossST - Ac2008 edition is played with the mouse : left click marks a full cell, right click marks an empty cell. Each full cell correctly marked, reset the timer et 45 seconds. Each mistake ( an empty cell marked as a full one ) decrease more and more the time counter.
The 30 best scores are held. The more full cells are correctly marked, the bigger the score is. If the puzzle is entirely solved, a time bonus is added to the score.
The archive also contain the best scores maid at AC2008.

On the road to the AC 2008 !
We're less than a month away from the opening of the AC 2008, the yearly Atarian French meeting. The event will take place in Congis-sur-Thérouanne (zip code : 77440), located close to Paris, during the April 19 - 20 weekend. Registrations are now open. They are required and don't forget : in order to provide the best accommodation conditions for everybody, the attendance is limited !
A conviviality-based gathering
Each year, during a weekend, the Retro-gaming Connexion organization strives to unite all of the users of the Atari brand.
Players, programmers, collectors and mere enthusiasts get together to share their common hobby.
In addition to the large quantity of hardware provided by the RGC organization, attenders are encouraged to bring their own machines to use or demonstrate them, in a 100% "free play" atmosphere : plug, play, use, and program.
On location, you'll find dozens of Atari-branded machines, and hundred of games and other pieces of software that have left their mark on the gaming and computing history. To quote only a few : the Atari ST, the Falcon, the Atari 2600, the Jaguar, the 8-bit computers line (Atari 400/800/XL/XE, etc.) and many other oddities. Have you ever heard about the Nuon ? You'll be able to play it there. But the rarest item will undoubtedly be the Jaguar virtual reality helmet, an unreleased prototype of which there are only two working copies in the world. A unique opportunity to discover it.
Professional and hobbyist software development teams will also be there. You should be able to count on the presence of the Jagware team, which will present an advanced version of its JagCF (a Jaguar add-on), of Rodolphe Czuba, the designer of the CT60/CT63 accelerator board for the Falcon, of the English 16/32 Systems shop... You will also find out about the latest development and gaming-related news. The Atari machines are still alive ! A whole weekend will be barely long enough to enjoy everything.
Practical information
Registering for the AC 2008 is required and can be done through
our online form (http://mleguludec.free.fr/index.php?sid=75991&lang=en). Practical information (entrance fees, access maps, trains schedules, etc.) is available on our website. More specific information (car pooling opportunities, buying/swapping/selling equipment...) can be found on our forum (http://www.yaronet.com/forum.php?s=9).
In order to organize this meeting in the best conditions, we invite you to register early, and to contact us as soon as possible for any special query (projects, specific hardware you'd like to present, etc.)
Thanks for your future attendance and see you in April !
The RGC organization team
About the AC
Inaugurated in 2002 under the Jaguar Connexion moniker, the event initially gathered only a handful of Atari fans. Five editions later, the Jaguar Connexion becomes the AC, to cover all machines - consoles and computers - of the well-known brand. Users, collectors and mere enthusiasts now meet at a yearly gathering.
About the Retro Gaming Connexion organization
This not-for-profit organization has been created in 2005 by six retrogaming fans with various backgrounds (a journalist, a leisure professional, a pool technician...). Since the beginning, the group has been aiming to organize various events in order to bring users together. The Jaguar Connexion, which enjoyed five editions, has been met with a great success and rapidly became one of the references in its category. The activities since diversified into organizing events such as the Retro Gaming Connexion (non-specific) and the AC (100% Atari-related), as well as creating and distributing various retrogaming-related products.

As a Valentine's day present to the demo and 8bit music scenes I give with love the next evolution of my Atari chip tracker: maxYMiser.
If you watched the videos I released the other day, you'll already know the updates. But here they are again:
* MIDI clock out
* Sync24 I/O
* MIDI controller support
* Enhanced live resequencing
* Polyphonic MIDI input
* Many bug fixes and small enhancements
Because of all the new features and development time I have decided to upgrade the title to: "maxYMiser Live". It will be the last big update to maxYMiser, of course I will continue to make small improvements.
Feel the scene love this Valentines day!

A tad late, but The Bits have released what they call 'Christmas 2007/8'.
As you might guess, it's a tiny chrstimas intro for ST/e machines. Snowflakes, rasters and the usual blipp blupp zik.

Saturday evening at Outline 07, the fourth bottle of La Trappe Tripel quenching the palate. Up pops Mr Skrebbel "Grazey, you got any Atari releases planned?" , Grz - "Errr nerrr, I'm too busy whooping GGN at Kick Off" , Skrb - "Come on maaan, no Atari demo released at Outline!"
18:48 The fourth bottle was quickly dispatched.

18:53 Grz "phew, Hi Nils, we need a soopa doopa track, for a mind blowing demo release"
18:54 505 "this is a fakking cool tune, I assume it will be fitting to your demo-coding expertise?"
18:56 Cal "you can't release this bollocks"
18:58 Grz "We'll have the prestige of being the top Atari ST demo at Outline: D-Bug, Dune, RG, DHS, Lineout can all piss right off"

It seems like The Bits Club were at The Ultimate meeting and enetered an ST-screen in the compo.
The screen is called 'BITS#35 TUM2007' and features the usual music (well..) and scrolltext but also some synclock raster effect.
