Two hour long Sillyventure report December 14th, 2011
Grey writes:

Hello Atari scene! It's already 1 month from the latest edition of Silly Venture 2k11 - the biggest Atari only party in Poland (and probably worldwide too!).

Over 100 attendees visited Gdansk from such countries like Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, England, Czech, Slovakia and Poland of course. There was also a lot of compo entries done for each Atari platform. To feel it on your own skin, Larek (known as ArSoft Corporation) prepared a special movie from this big Atari event!

Enjoy the Silly movie guys! It's over 2hrs big! :)

ICE packer sourcecode resurrected December 14th, 2011
Grazey writes:

Whilst browsing through the hundreds of disks sent to me by Xerud/Automation (of Mega-Depacker / Unpack fame). I stumbled across a disk marked Pack-Ice.

Nothing unusual there, however on closer inspection I found it to contain the packer source! I'm sure after 20 years Axe won't mind its release! Also there's a sneak preview of how Pack Ice v3 would have looked.

8-bit winner from Sillyventure is here December 4th, 2011
The winning 8-bit demo from Sillyventure 2011 has been released.

It's a fantastic show from start to end with great effects, even better music and design that outmatches them both.

The demo is called 'C-Drug' and is made by Agenda, Mad Team and Laresistance. Needs a 128 k XL or XE to work.

Sillyventure 2011 video report December 1st, 2011
CiH writes:

It was the best of times, it was the wurst of times. (If you were a German sausage fan.)

It was the Sillyventure 2011 Atari party, held in deepest Gdansk.

Many epic deeds were done, beers drunk and awesome demos shown.

Now here's a few minutes of multi-media dribblings from the incontinent cam-phone of CiH to entertain you with his recollections of the party as taken through a Nokia-tinted lense.

Let the memories assail you!

Reboot of JagWare are proud to present Kobayashi Maru, their latest freely-available game for the Atari Jaguar games console, written to utilize the new Raptor game engine. Kobayashi Maru is Reboot's version of an arcade favourite from the early 80s. Use your rotary controller or regular Jaguar pad to steer your warpship in this arcade space shooter, battling countless drones and huge boss craft in ever-tougher waves of attack.

Kobayashi Maru is released hot on the heels of another Reboot release, the port of Downfall for the Atari Falcon030 computer. Head over to the Kobayashi Maru download page to obtain the full game in your favourite file format: BJL, ROM or CDI disc image. Have fun!

gwEm/PHF releases booTribe November 16th, 2011
gwEm writes:

This is a different sort of production from me. You could call it a musical toy. I've been inspired by the drum machine of the Korg Monotribe, and have combined it with STj into an executable boot sector. Unlike my 128byte productions, which are more or less pure demos in that they are concept investigations, this one could actually be quite useful to musicians and live performers.

A list of the features may help to explain more:

* STj like tempo control for precise DJ beatmatching
* Three drum sounds
* 16 steps (use shift to access odd steps, alike to Korg Monotribe)
* MIDI clock output
* Very fast loading - due to boot sector implementation
* GEMDOS file system still supported (use it with STj in auto folder no problem)
* No screen required

The archive contains an installer/deinstaller/launcher program, a readme, and a picture to explain the keyboard mappings.

No Fragments #13 released November 12th, 2011
Lotek Style of .tSCc. writes:

Dear atarians.

Welcome to archive thirteen of the NO FRAGMENTS series. You will find here a lot of pictures that I have collected during the years including a huge section with pixelgraphics from our beloved atari demosceners. It is possible to have a few dupes in here in some different picture formats. At first I decided to have only "one" version of a drawing on the CD but during the last years I changed my mind and allowed all formats esp. the original atari formats.

Like the last few discs this collection does not claim to be complete. It is "just" what I had found during the last years on my work on the NO FRAGMENTS series. There's not much more to say for now. Have fun with the archive. If there is some stuff missing or damaged, then please inform me or send me acurate versions and I will collect it for an update (if it ever will happen). Oh.. and bye the way this might be the last disc of this series. Let me say goodbye to all followers and atari friends. It is time to move on.

Final Sillyventure 2011 invite released November 5th, 2011
Grey of Mystic Bytes writes:

So... HERE IT COMES! The last pre-SV2k11 surprise has been just released! It's another invitation for Silly Venture 2k11, this time for the most famous Atari XL/XE machine in Poland. Invitro was made by the legendary polish demo-team called "SLIGHT". It doesn't require extended hardware (64kb is enough), however stereo-pokey is strongly recommended for best effect.

And just to remind the deadline for remote compo entries - officialy on 9th November (Thursday), however organizer will check his mail-box last time on 12th November (Saturday) at 09:00 am o'clock.

Please send your compo entries on both e-mail address, it is:

greymsb@poczta.fm
atarimsb@wp.pl

(in case one doesn't work)

Best regards,

SNDH archive v3.3 released October 30th, 2011
Grazey of The Phsycho Hacking Force writes:

50 new/updated SNDH files (72 tunes).

Fellow PHFer gwEm gave me a shot of motivation, spurring me into a compiling blitz, resulting in a much needed SNDH pack.

The pack mainly focuses on music released over the past 10 months. A few fixes are also included rectifying missing subtunes and bugged replayers.

As usual I've added a rarity, this time another Mad Max digi conversion :- Hubbard's International Karate (it gets funky at 3:42)

Also thanks to ggn for converting some XIA tunes easing my usual lone burden.

Remember if you'd like to comment, give bugs or suggest a tune you would like, please feel free to post to our forum.

One week left for Atari Scene Awards voting! May 21st, 2011
Havoc of Lineout writes:
Two weeks ago, the Atari Scene Awards were announced on this site. Since then, we have received many positive comments, and a few less votes. To give the Awards credibility, we feel it is important to involve as many people as possible through the voting process. Therefore, we would like to remind you that the voting deadline occurs next weekend, and there will be no possibility to vote for the awards at the party, otherwise it will not be possible to prepare the trophies before the hand-out on Friday, June 3rd in Eersel. If the amount of votes received does not increase significantly from the 14 we have received so far, we may be forced to reconsider organising the Awards show for the future. We're counting on you not to let this happen!

To remind you, your votes for your favourite demoscene productions on Atari platforms from 2010 should be in the following format:

3 points - BITS #69 - Random Colours by BITS
2 points - Greatest Hits by Spiceboys
1 point - Scroller and Picture by .nUn.

And should be mailed to awards@outlinedemoparty.nl before Saturday, May 28th 2011, 24:00 CET. Thanks for your cooperation!

New tech-demo from Paulo Simoes May 9th, 2011
Paulo Simoes has released a small music screen with his latest optimized soundrouts called 'Twelve'.

It's playing a 12-channel module on plain ST at nearly 11 kHz frequency while displaying VU-meters for all channels as well as an ocilloscope. On STe machines the replay uses the DMA sound for stereo and a bit higher frequency.

Additional infos from Paulo:
If you don't like the colors, you can change them by hacking the .tos file with any file editor:
- at offset $0E70 you can change the Scope beam color;
- at offsets $105A/5E/62/66/6A/6E/72/76/7A/7E/82/86, you can change the 12 individual V.U. colors;

Outline announces the Atari Scene Awards May 5th, 2011
Havoc of Lineout writes:

As you may have noticed, another edition of Outline is taking place in Eersel (near Eindhoven, Holland) in about 4 weeks from now. Preparations for the party have been ongoing for some time now, and the same goes for ticket sales. Despite the fact that we haven't had as much time to promote the party as in some previous years, half of the available full tickets (including beds) have already been sold. If last year's statistics are anything to go by, we're expecting to fill the W'tjewel venue to the brim with demosceners once again.

Ofcourse we hope to welcome a large contingent of Atari sceners. Outline is firmly rooted in the Atari scene, continuing a tradition of over 20 years of events for this platform. Although we have also taken it upon us to make Outline a suitable meeting place for other platforms, we will never forget our roots, and want to emphasize this by starting a new tradition- the Atari Scene Awards. In this inaugural edition, we will hand out two awards. One will be a Lifetime Achievement award, the winner of which will be decided by a panel of experienced sceners from all over Europe. The second category is a Public's Choice award, for which we kindly ask you to send in your selection of favourite Atari prods in 2010 to awards@outlinedemoparty.nl in the following format:

3 points - BITS #69 - Random Colours by BITS
2 points - Greatest Hits by Spiceboys
1 point - Scroller and Picture by .nUn.

The productions you vote for must have been released in 2010, and run on an Atari(-compatible) platform. Votes can be sent in until Saturday, May 28th 2011, 24:00 CET. The final result will be announced during Outline 2011, and the awards will be presented during the ceremony. Should a winner not be present in Eersel, then we will ofcourse send the award to their home address.

Looking forward to receiving your votes!

gwEm releases Decade of Fragments April 14th, 2011
CalmDownKidder Records write:
Astonishingly dirty basslines? Check. Thumping Beats? Check. Samples from all sorts of various nooks and crannies in pop culture? Check. Christmas Song? Check.

Wait, what?

Most ordinary mixes don’t have Christmas songs, but then, most mixes aren’t by Atari and axe wielding madman Gareth Morris, who celebrates his 10th year of being ‘The One They Call gwEm‘. During a short period of not being busy from touring all over the world, from London to Toyko and almost everywhere in between, or putting on his own shows, or making his own Atari music composing software maxYMiser, gwEm has managed to make this astonishing 35 minute mix of old and new music into an unforgettable dance mix, that will surely cement his position in the chipscene for at least another ten years!

Sillyventure 2011 January 6th, 2011

So it finally happend ! And there's no turning back... "THE SHOW MUST GO ON !" like in Queen's song. After a few days of brainstorming, comparing arguments for "yes" and "no", I have the pleasure of inviting You for the 4th time to an international Atari party - Silly Venture 2k11 in Poland !

The last edition was met with a multitude of Polish and foreign guests and sceners. It proves that with a vision of the party and consistent realisation it's possible to achieve things, which seemed to be unattainable before (e.g. to gather such a big amount of Atari sceners in winter time). During the 10th-12th of December 2010, 62 visitors came from Poland, France, Germany, Holland and Czech. Over 40 compo entries were submitted for almost all atari platforms - starting with the 2600, through XL/XE, to ST and Falcon. Official partners were ABBUC (the bigest european club of 8-bit Atari users), ESKA radio-station and POMORSKA TV. How could I not do this promising party project again ? I asked myself many times... The final decission was made thanks to YOU. I am grateful for every positive word on the net or sent by e-mail, it just strengthens my conviction, it's WORTH IT - in spite of the logistic toil involved in it all.

Another edition of SV brings a new date and a new party-place. SV2k11 will take place from the 10th to 13th of Novemeber 2011 (Thursday-Sunday), over 4 days. The party-place will probably be a local club called "Mechanik" (11 km from the airport).

I will be starting the arrangements for the next edition of SV from the moment of this announcement! I do believe we can beat the last record for the amount of visitors and compo entries. After the last edition of SV the hopes were ressurected, many people declared "back to the roots" - the mood direct from the 90s came back, when the Atari scene was in full swing. Let's not waste it ! Sv2k11 is dedicated to all Atari fans - from Atari 2600 up to the Jaguar, right thrugh to the newest Falcon clones.

F*ck the mainstream & respect the roots ! There's *nothing* to regret.

With atari greetings,

Yours truly madly deeply,
