-Change Skin- Atari Legend

About Atari Legend   The History 2003 was a bad year for the Atari ST community. One of the biggest contributors to the scene, Brume, was about to close PaciDemo and Pacigame. Two of the most highly respected resources regarding ST software on the net. Little did everybody know that this was actually also the birth date of the Atari Legend project. The Pacidemo website featured everything there was to know about ST demo's, and since the scene has a strong demo following, this closure was bad news. Another reason it came as a shock was the fact the Pacigame site, which featured loads of rare and previously uncovered game menu's, had only been online for a year. Another site was also created in that last year called Missing, which was the start to uncovering all games that were supposed to be none-existent on the ST. After the closure of these sites, the first thoughts of a new, bigger project started to float above water. That's the point where Silver Surfer entered the scene. He was the previous creator of the short lived Atari Zone. When he was contacted by Brume, he was in the middle of creating an all new Atari Zone project together with fellow scener DBG. This project got canned, and eventually turned into Atari Legend (some parts of the database, anyway). Silver was also a longtime scener and responsible for the popular Atari-Forum. Finally a third member was called in. ST Graveyard was the author of the obscure The ST Graveyard website. He was already in contact with both other members, but the idea of a new site came as a surprise. The ST Graveyard website featured loads of self written reviews and articles, but the site wasn't really technically up to date. The project got closed, and he moved on to this team So there you have it. The goal of Atari Legend is to combine the content of those previously mentioned sites into one user friendly environment. In the future you will find everything there is to know about ST game, demos, menus and much more. Self-written reviews, interview and articles are online, with much more info. And lets not forget all the latest gossip from the Atari ST world. Creation Atari Legend is build using Macromedia Homesite. The site is database driven, using a MYSQL database, Apache server and is completely coded in PHP. We are also making use of the Smarty template system. The graphics have been created using Photoshop, Ulead Photo Impact and Paint Shop Pro. The site is developed for the Microsoft Windows platform, and has been tested with Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firebird. The site has been developped for a resolution of 1024*768 or up.
