ExoticA is back!, at a new address. Please update your bookmarks and links to point to http://www.exotica.org.uk. The mirror site is also in full working order and can be reach at http://hangar18.campus.luth.se/exotica.

The old http://exotica.amigascne.org looks like it is still working, however I am unable to remove/change this site and due to continual server unreliability and lack of support from the system admin I decided to move.

You should find this server much more reliable, and I will be offering FTP access to the archives again soon. The CGI's (Guestbook/Counter) should also be working again now, so please feel free to have a scribble!

Sorry for the huge delay with updates but I was waiting for many of the server problems to be fixed. I have also been very busy at work.

http://exotica.amigascne.org should be working again now, but it is a temporary solution and so CGI's (guestbook and counter) are currently not functional.

The mirror of ExoticA at Hangar 18 http://hangar18.campus.luth.se/exotica/ is up again however, and I recommend you use this address until the main amigascne.org site is back up again.

FTP services at ftp.amigascne.org are working as normal.

Added a complete rip of the music from the game Return Of Medusa - Return_Of_Medusa.lha - which was composed by Jochen Hippel and can be found on the HIP-Hippel section (View: Compact|Full).

Improved the tune names from the game Warp - Warp.lha.

For those that have not heard all of Jochen's work, I really recommend it. He is one of my favourite game musicians. His music from the games Amberstar, Lethal Xcess, Prehistoric Tale and many others should not be missed :)

Added the music from 2 Infogrames games - Drakkhen (Drakkhen.lha) and Tintin On The Moon (Tintin_On_The_Moon.lha).

This can aid in the programming of portable players for all the classic tunes you can find here. Check out the Tunes Section for more info or go directly to the page. Thanks very much to Laurent for his work with this page.

Updated the Amiga Demo Scene Reference Manual to version 3.58. This update includes a lot of changes since the last release including all The Party 99 demos, Fraxion completed, some more 2000 AD demos, more credit additions to Scoopex, Zenith updated and many other new additions and fixes.

There is also a new version of the Packdisk Information Text available on this section.
