# The History of ST Knights

Message for French readers : ce texte est intégralement en anglais puisque je (The Beast) n'ai pas eu le temps de m'amuser à le traduire, mais franchement il est assez simple à comprendre (il a été écrit par des français). Je l'ai récupéré sur le site Internet de ST Knights, qui est le suivant :

WHAT IS ST KNIGHTS ?

This group is quite old on Atari ST but not very know. All its members are living in a small island lost in the Indian Ocean called Reunion Island. If you want to know a litle more about the island, look at the end of this page. First, Aldyn (Orion at this time) created a group called "The Star Riders". The activity was "code intro for cracked games" but as nobody could code intros, this group disapeared 1 year after its creation.

A few members of this group decided to create another group with the purpose of making demos in 1990. ST KNIGHTS was born. Jace (Kelly.x at this time) began to quickly learn how to code and Dieu, The Creator, and Aldyn were the gfxmen. Later, another friend joined us and made great musics with his Amiga, it was Alan Parker. After releasing NRJ 4 U, we stopped the group for personal reasons.

Only 3 ex-members joined another groups, Creator sold his computer and Alan Parker stopped creating mod musics to make music with his KORG-M1. Jace and Aldyn went to fuzion, then Dieu rejoined us. We have made some intros and NRJ4U 2 which was never released (under Fuzion but released in 1996 under STK). Dieu was making gfx for some groups and finally entered in HMD, followed by Jace. They released the FULLPART. Then Aldyn leaved Fuzion and entered in HMD.

After the COLORZ, we were kicked off from HMD without any reasons !!! So, we (Jace, Dieu and Aldyn) decided to bring back to life ST Knights even if the ST is nearly dead because we have spent so much good time on this machine and I think we will never forget all the time spent to code, make gfx, play games on this cool computer which is the ST(E).

Reunion Island is located in Indian Ocean near Madagascar. Its superficy is 2511 km2 and more than 650,000 inhabitants live in this sub-tropical island. This is a French overseas departement since 1946. The weather is warm and the sun shines most of the time. There are lots of mountains and the highest one is 3000 meters at it highest point. It's a volcanic island, and one the volcanos is still active (like Hawaii). Vegetation is luxuriant. Temperature varies between 28° and 33° in summer (this is the wet season with strong rain, hot sun and typhoon) and between 15° and 27° in winter (this the dry season with lotsa sun) on the coast, between 14° and 27° in summer and between 0° and 13° in winter in the mounts (at an altitude of 1000-3000 m). The temperature of the sea is between 23° (winter) and 28°(summer). As the island is quite young (about 2.000.000 years old) there are not lots of beachs and lagoons, but the few ones are quite good. The most interesting to do is hill-walking because the landscape is really magic and so beautiful.
