La Mascotte: another rare game in the basket

April 23, 2007 by Brume

News illustration image What, another french game?
Yes, but this one takes part of a famous french comic book: Lucky Luke. The game is based upon one of the caracters of the comic book Rantanplan "the stupidest dog in the universe".

The game was retrieved by Marcer. The disk was already hacked by The Magician (probably between 89-89). If you have already visited old Florent Coste website, you probably know how rare this game is!

So enjoy: go for a ride on La Mascotte page and welcome in American Old West!

Brimstone: another game found in the attic

April 10, 2007 by Brume

News illustration image Long time ago we received a very rare game from Belboz (pm: thank you for the disk!).
The game is named Brimstone - The Dream Of Gawain. It's one of the first games made on Atari ST. It belongs to the Broderbund/Synaps adventure serie. You play Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table... but maybe have you just entered into a dream-related world?

Intro of the release is signed Bod of Stax. Music is composed by Cube of Aggression.
Actually, just grab the game on Brimstone page.

DemoBaseST Celebrates!

March 9, 2007 by muguk

News illustration image DemoBaseST has hit a milestone just recently. SkylineDave (the proprietor and moderator of DemoBaseST) announced the other day that he'd hit the 100 Megademos mark that are included with DemobaseST.

If you're not sure what DemoBaseST is, then it's a Windows-based front-end similar to GamebaseST but, as the name suggests, it's for viewing all those classic ST demos from the comfort of one shell.

And to top off this bit of good news, he's also released a patch to give you even MORE demos! So go visit the site, download DemobaseST and the upgrade patch, sit back and just watch some of the best demos that ever graced our lovely machine!

Take me to DemoBaseST HQ!

Random review

"Weird Dreams" is something special, you might not enjoy it, it might be too frustrating, it might be too hard, but it is something you just have to see for yourself.

Read the review of Weird Dreams

Did you know?

In 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!
