Absolutely top notch shooter which is one of the few games that really show what the STE was capable of and the number of sprites on the screen at times is incredible but never a hint of slowdown. Visually it is a feast for the eyes with a wide variety of imaginative enemies which move in balletic precision across the screen and more colours on the screen than the ST has any right to display at once. Music by Jochen Hippel is fantastic too as well as the sound effects including lots of digitised sound. Not too keen on the mocking laugh when you die though seems like too much salt in the wound for what is already a mega tough game. A real tour de force and deserved to be more heralded than it was but it came late in the life of the ST but stands the test of time as a true great in the ST library.

Au debut on choisi le nombre de joueurs :
touches "A" et "Z" pour chosir son perso et "W" pour valider
dans le jeu à chaque fois que l'ecran flash il faut appuyer sur une touche
quand il y a un jet de dés : taper une touche
"1" et "2" pour se deplacer à droite ou a gauche et "3" pour valider
(pour certain sort c'est "4" pour sortir)
Quand vous lancer un sort il vous demande son numero (parmis une liste qu'il donne)
il faut valider avec "entrée"
"E" et "D" pour scroller les armes et objets
"Z" pour avoir les statistiques
et dans les stats :
"A" et "Q" pour scroller les armures
"Z" et "S" pour scroller les compagnons
"E" et "D" pour scroller les armes et objets
"espace " pour sortir des stats

It looks and plays fantastic. Sad that is only a dev/demo version with no sound and music. Sure it would have been a great game if it had been released.

Eckhard Kruse
October 26, 2021 by ST Graveyard
In 1986, Eckhard Kruse wanted to program in assembler on his Atari ST, but he could not find the software, so he build his own version of the assembly language tools for the system. He managed to create a music editor at the age of 16. But that was just the beginning. This is the story of one of the pioneers of the Atari ST scene. His Grafik und Sound demo is considered the first of its kind. He is also responsible for possibly the most famous monochrome game on the system, called Ballerburg.

In 1993, Matthieu and his friends witnessed Alien Breed on the Amiga. They wanted this game on the ST, but Matthieu had only programmed in BASIC. This wasn't good enough, so he started to learn assembler, and slowly, Alien Blast was created. It took a whole 3 years but by 1996, the game was released as shareware. Want to learn more about the details of its creation? Look no further.Read the interview of Matthieu Isorez

Marcus Platt is the creator of the hidden gem STORM '94. His game was based on some old game logic he once made in the 80's on a ZX Spectrum. But it never turned into a game. Until he witnessed Alien Breed on his friend's Amiga. STORM '94 is a fantastic game that deserves way more attention. You have seen the video, now it is time to learn even more about the man behind the game. Read the interview of Marcus Platt

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. The second and last game released by publisher Caspian Software for the Atari STe. Andrew Gisby proved he was an amazing assembler coder. If you want to learn more about this amazing title, put on your space suit and get ready to kick some Morphon butt because this is the story of Zero-5. Read the interview of Andrew T Gisby
