Omega was released around 1988 or 1989 for numerous platforms, from 8-bitters like the Apple II through to 16/32-bit platforms like the Atari ST (and Amiga?) where I experienced it. Let me quickly summarize and say...its a game whereby you assemble and arm robotic tanks and 'script' or 'code' their behaviour for combat in an area filled with other 'coded' tanks.

2 new interviews have been added to the database this week. Tony Greenwood, the founder of STOSSER diskmagazine and the coder of the STOS game H.E.R.O., and Deano Shaples, of STOS adventure creator and Silly Software fame. Enjoy.

A new Magazines section has been added on Atari Legend! We will be slowly populating the database and linking the magazines to game reviews (including scores) and developer interviews. When checking out a game, you will be able to read all the magazine reviews at the time to get a full picture on how it was received. We rely on archive.org providing the magazine as a way to safely store them on the long term and make them available more generally, outside of Atari Legend. If you posses magazine collections, please consider scanning them and uploading them there!

After the release of the video a few months ago, Bitmap Soft is now ready to do the announcement. A beautiful boxed definitive edition of the MP Lord classic Droid will be released in time for Christmas. This release will contain the original ST Format release, the STe enhanced version by Jamie Hamshere and a final version of Droid 2, with a few bug fixes done by Miles Lord himself. And of course, as in true Bitmap Soft tradition, some extras like a nice booklet with author notes and more. If you want a boxed ST game underneath your christmas tree, you can pre-order here. From my side, I hope to release a 'making of' video and company profile video on the AL TV channel in the coming weeks. And friends, there is more to come in 2022! STAY ATARI

Game pages now feature game tunes! Checkout the music player on the right side of Turrican for example. The player has been added some time back but it took a while to associate each tune with each game. The music comes from the SNDH archive and the recordings are gracefully provided by sndhrecord.atari.org (Thanks Adam!). Check out this site to listen to a lot of other non-games tunes (demos, etc.) Enjoy the sound, and let us know if you spot any mistakes!

Zero-5 was one of the most ambitious games during the final years of the Atari STe's lifespan. An incredible spaceshooter which really showed what the STe was capable of. Find out more in our in-depth interview with its creator Andrew Gisby here.

The last chapter in our little SCUMMVM adventure. We talk to Anders Granlund, the man who made it possible to run the Lucasarts classics Monkey Island 2, Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle on a standard ST. Check out the interview for all the juicy details.

Once again, pesky aliens are giving us Earthlings lots of grief. We previously fought them off but they managed to pinch a time machine so are using that to alter history and wreak havoc by taking crucial hostages from each period in an attempt to halt their influence. From the invention of the wheel in prehistoric times to England's King Arthur uniting Britain! And where would any of us be today without Japan and its technical wizardry? Yep, we cannot allow this - the fight is on!

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.

From the ashes of demo team Aenigmatica, rose Synergy Software Development. This Dutch group, which included 12 talented individuals, released the Synergy Megademo, one of the best demos on the Atari ST from Dutch soil. And if that wasn't enough, they are also reponsible for the best Pac-Man clone on the system called Crapman. Today we speak to member Arnoud Kinderman/Wingleader, Tjeerd Bruinsma/MCA and Joris de Man/Scavenger about the good old days of the Atari ST demoscene.
