Back in 1989: the editor Silmarils released games such as Targhan, Wind Surf Willy and Maya (or Le Fetiche Maya). Until today the last one was mainly spread in French.
Some weeks ago dungeon.master found the English version in his Ali Baba's cave. Klapauzius worked on it, and guess what? He fixed it completely: so Maya now works on Atari ST/STE and Falcon (yes!). Also you can install it on your hard drive if you like.
Klapauzius also added two trainers: unlimited gas/oil and no energy loss. Last but not least: hit H to toggle 50/60Hz screen refresh (not on Falcon), and L to toggle Falcon's internal loudspeaker on/off.
Thanks must go to Jace/ST Knights for the intro, ST Survivor for the picture, Ultra and Tao for the tune.
All you have now is to download Maya. Hope you'll like this game if you still don't know it!

Who said that old games have yet spilled out their secrets?
Les Voyageurs du Temps (aka Future Wars Time Travellers) is probably one of the most famous adventures on Atari ST. The great soundchip tune, the cool graphics, the fantastic story... well, no doubt one of our favorite games!
A few users discussed many times about a version of the game with sampled musics on Atari-forum and Yaronet board. We had never seen this version and we all thought they mixed up the Amiga and the Atari ST disks.
But it's true! We found this version! Les Voyageurs du Temps includes sampled musics! You need an Atari STE or Steem+Tos 1.62 (or higher) in order to listen to them!
Still not convinced? Just collect the 3 disks available here and listen to the music!
Please note the disks are still protected: you will need the codes . A cracked/patched version by us may appear one day, stay tuned. And who knows? An English version, why not?

We had forgotten to put a brief info about a new interview with Dr. Felix Brandt. Back in the 90's, Felix has hugely contributed to the ST scene.
He's also known for a great website created in 1996-97.
In case you don't know this famous name, we let you discover who he is.
Thanks must go to Keili for the interview!
Read the full interview now.

Reason about this?
Well, they got banned on Atari-Forum, and now they requested to get their news and infos removed from our site! I don't really understand this request, but let's try turn down the level a bit and try find a better path by doing this request then.

A new issue of the famous diskmag has been published at the Evoke party. Alive #14 features many articles written by sceners: you'll find here reviews, news, reports of parties, etc.
The gfx were painted by Cyclone (X-Troll) while the musics were composed by Marcer (Atari Legend), CrazyQ (DHS), Stu (Dropdabomb), and 505 (Checkpoint).
The diskmag can be downloaded here. An online version is viewable on this page. A floppy version should be available shortly.
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.
