                      ATARI SCENE RELATED ONLINE NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we have  again a bunch of news  about ATARI scene  related homepages. There
happened a lot in the  last months and  maybe we discovered some pages you never
stumbled over so far. Here we go...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABSENCE

- The unfinished  homepage about the  band itself, maintained  by THE INNOVATOR,
  was finally  removed  from the  net. This  isn't  a real loss since  it wasn't
  updated since it was installed in 1996...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANIMAL MINE

- After the page was back for several weeks, it went offline again...
- STRATAGEM, who's  maintaining  the  site, has  opened an  UCM download mirror,
  offering as only page on the whole net (!) ALL issues of UCM for download.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AURA

- The  old  page, related  to the  former  ST and Falcon  demo group, completely
  disappeared, together  with the "XMOON" project  page, that was  laying on ice
  as well since 1996. The  ATARI charts are still online and still maintained by
  BDC of AURA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVENA

- After months of just playing  a small trailer  the site came back to life in a
  completely  revamped design. Atm. several  parts of  the page  are still under
  construction like bulletin boards, downloads and some more...

CRYSTALIC

- In the end that swedish  band has killed the  restriction of their page to use
  only the fucking Microsoft Internet Explorer. Now anyone can surf through that
  nice page, including all their  Atari releases  from the past as well as their
  new releases on PC (like games and demos)

HEADACHE PROJECT

- The mainsite of HEADACHE PROJECT and FAEN from  the Czech Republic is down atm
  or at least  very buggy since browsers  are knocked out  while trying to reach
  this site. This is very bad since  it gathered the most informations about the
  movements of  the small czech scene as well as it was the home of the "NARSIL"
  magazine. Several  topics  of the site are  still available, but  the mainsite
  that presents the downloads is vanished.
