A new interview with the creator of the game Ozone has been added to our ever growing database. Meet Nick Harper! Enjoy the interview.

Hello everybody,

After quite awhile, Atari Legend has finally gotten a new upgrade. We have been working daily. Lot's of stuff has been done on the back-end (which you can check out for yourself when you log in, should you be interested). However, the most noticable change is the new Articles section. I've written a first restoration article. I hope to do more of these things in the future and share my knowledge with those interested.

The next upgrade will be all about games. It will be worth the wait.

Take care.

Over two months have passed since the last announcement. Our team of developers is still hyper active and continuesly working on the project. Fixing bugs, enhancing the experience ... And also, as promised, new features should soon be added.
At the same time, our database team is constantly correcting data and adding new titles very regularly. We do not post an announcement for each change that is done (you could check the change log for an overview). We hope the database starts to give you satisfaction and is getting more complete. Feel free to post a comment if you see a problem, we'll correct it immediately.
Finally, at the beginning of the year, we also received a huge donation of 130 games and software from Maho in Lyon (Virtual Worlds on the left was one of the games he sent). A big thanks to him for the 5 big parcels we received. A real treasure! We are listing, dumping and scanning the whole thing. The scans of the boxes are added progressively on the site, and the dumps will be available as soon as the Download part will be operational.
So stay connected, because the best is yet to come

Templeton, one of the best coders still active in the Atari ST scene, has just finished his brand new shooter Supa Zazai Da! The game was first presented in December 2017 at the Silly Venture convention, but it wasn't yet completely finished and debugged. 3 weeks ago, Templeton got in touch with us and asked if we would like to do the announcement once the game would be ready for the public. He gave us a preview version of the STe/Mega ST release (This game uses the blitter!) while he continued working on the Falcon release.

Finally now, the Falcon version is finished also, and this is what Templeton had to say about it :

"I did not want to change the gameplay by adding more things compared to MegaST / STe versions so that the scores are identical on all machines, so I improved the realization and added options. It's a shame because according to my first tests ... I could have displayed at least 3 times more items!

The Falcon version has the real instrumental music of Nirvana (+ a new one for the last level). The music is in Mp2 format decompressed in real time by the DSP. Visually there is something extra like thicker particles, or more behind the Boss (not to change the gameplay), an animated boss, etc ...

Finally, I added options such as keyboard support and Jag PAD / Falcon PAD, an Overscan mode (stretching the image), a switch to 60/50 HZ with gameplay readjusted, VGA support with gameplay readjusted , and the ability to disable music and / or sound effects."

You can find more technical details in the txt files that accompanies the downloads. So here it is :
Supa Zazai Da in all its glory! You can find the download links in the comment section.

Oh, and even though my fingers got completely blistered by all the oldshool shooting mayhem, I was still able to write a full review of the game ;-)

Hope you all like it!

Eric Safar (aka Atlantis) has recently uploaded a tune that will be used in his new game: Athanor 2. You can listen to this tune at the Soundcloud website. Please note this is the CPC version of the track. The music is composed by Hervé Monchatre (aKa Tom et Jerry), a very prolific composer on the Amstrad CPC.

We've asked Eric if the tracks will be the same on other platforms, here is his reply:

Concerning the music, some themes of the CPC version will be included on the Atari ST / Amiga versions, but they will be reworked to take advantage of the capacities of these machines. Some samples will also make their appearances to ornament the game.

Eric also said that the game would benefit from the wide color palette of the Atari STE. And last but not least: he will work on a Falcon version, too!

The CPC version of the game is nearly finished. The cover is ready to be printed. Acccording to Eric, the CPC version should be ready for the AC 2018 (French retro convention), between March-April 2018. The Atari ST version will follow, but we have no date yet. In the meantime, do not hesitate to take a look at the graphics of the Atari version that Eric sent us last November. The finalized box of the game is also visible here.
