Kelstar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kelstar was an Atari diskmag distributed on Atari ST-compatable floppy disks. It ran for 7 issues during the mid 1990s at which point it changed management and was replaced by the KelAUG (Atari User Group), which was created in order to expand the function of the Kelstar collective. However, it soon faded into obscurity, in correlation with the decline of the ST in favour of the Apple Macintosh and the PC.

Kelstar was founded by and named for Bob Kell with help from his friends, and had a peak distribution of fewer than 50 copies, although it is possible that further copies were made and distributed informally.

It relied heavily on contributions from its users, and topics included but were not limited to Atari news, games reviews, general discussions and jokes.
