Four years ago, Thomas Ilg released a new version of his first PD game Laserball. Originally released in 1990, this new version was available complete in cardboard box! And thus making one of his ambitious dreams come true. That wasn't the last we would hear from Thomas. 2 years ago he teamed up with Alan Tomkins and created the crazy Anarcho Ride! Time to talk to this very interesting person, don't you think? July 7, 2018 by ST Graveyard
A few weeks ago Terry Mancey joined the fun in the STOS Facebook group. He is most well known for the game Steg the Slug. After playing this amazing platform puzzler, I wanted to learn more about its creator. I contacted Terry and he agreed to an interview. Check it out! July 3, 2018 by Brume
A few years ago (it seems like an eternity today), I met Cédric Bourse at a coding party over here in France. I was very impressed by his game Elansar for the Falcon and when I saw its sequel Philia, I was more than convinced this guy was an amazing programmer. I thought he was mostly interested in adventure games like Myst, but I was wrong: Orion_ (which is Cedric's nickname), has more tricks up his sleeve. An example is the amazing platformer Alice's Mom's Rescue (available for Windows, Linux, the Atari Falcon, the Jaguar CD and Android) which has quickly become one of my favorites. This game is superb and if you have never played it, check it out at once!
Now Cédric has just released a brand new game called Escape 2042. After publishing a full review, it was now time to talk to the creator. Orion_ gladly agreed to share some details about his work on the Atari and other machines, the games he has created and his other projects...June 28, 2018 by ST Graveyard
Tord Jansson was one of the programmers at the amazing Unique Developments Sweden. He helped to create 2 of the most iconic games during the final years of the ST's lifespan, Obsession and Substation. Tord was a member of UDS from the very beginning, up until its demise. During the years, Tord did not only work on ST games, he was also programmer and project lead on numerous other big budget titles for many systems. You want to learn more about the history of the company that pushed the boundaries of the STe? Or ever wondered who created the fastest tracker player in the ST demo scene? Look no further...June 1, 2018 by ST Graveyard

Visit www.atarimania.com"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
