Thomas Ilg, the author of Anarcho Ride and Laserball 2015, is working on a new game. Frogs is an adaptation of a C64 title: after reading the title, if you said it's a new conversion of the famous game Frogger... that's not really the case.
If you want to discover the goal of the game, Thomas has published a full video on YouTube. This adaptation is STE enhanced and it looks very cool and fun. Can't wait to play it!
The game is not yet available, but we'll spread more information about this release as soon as possible. Don't also miss the interview we released some weeks ago with Thomas if you want to learn more about his previous games.

At HaxoGreen 2018 in Luxembourg, Gunstick/ULM released an updated version of his talk on all things chip-sound.
HaxoGreen is an international, 4-day open-air event in Luxembourg for people interested in technology or art. It provides a small but relaxed atmosphere for free exchange of technical, social, and political ideas.
At this event, Gunstick/ULM gave an updated version of his guide to the evolution of soundchip music on the Atari ST. It's a blow-by-blow walkthough of all things YM-2149: from the early days through to the modern era of music-making on our machines.
Watch it on YouTube.

A new interview with Terry Mancey, creator of such titles as Steg The Slug and Dizzy Panic, has been added in the database. Enjoy the read.
This game is true to the original version, almost pixel by pixel. The graphics were ripped from the Speccy and updated for the ST. Luckily, the pixellated look remains. The maps were designed from the ground up on the ST but created to be as accurate as possible to the 1983 classic. In the end, this gives us a very solid and fluent conversion, programmed in pure ASM, with an oldschool look.

Read the review of Manic MinerIn the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
