X-Troll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
X-Troll was a demo group of the Atari ST Demo Scene. It was founded in 1989 and went inactive in 1994. Beside some demos two members of the X-Trolls coded the technically most impressive shoot'em up game on the Atari ST: "Lethal Xcess", the follow-up to the famous "Wings of Death". X-Troll went into hibernation mode around 1993 and was resurrected by Cyclone somewhen after the millennium. All members are still active in some way. Nexus 6 is still releasing chiptunes from time to time, while Sunnyboy mostly is looking for old disks to prepare them for release. Cyclone however has taken over Alive Diskmagazine from ST Survivor to support the Atari scene.
