Sad news

March 4, 2007 by muguk

News illustration image Two bits of sad news have appeared on Atari Forum over this weekend.

1) Andreas Wahlin - a.k.a. Perihelion - was killed on February 24th 2007 by some attackers. He will be fondly remembered for his 68000 coding tutorials which had taught a lot of beginners to 68000 on the joys of coding directly with the hardware instead of via an interpreted language.

Leave your condolences message on the forum here.

2) Richard Joseph, chip music composer on many machines, including the Atari ST, passed away in France due to complications from his chemotherapy he was receiving to help his battle with lung cancer.

All within the Atari community pass on our condolences to both families of the above. You will both be missed.

News illustration image Happy New year 2007!
Well this time we don't come with our own release: our friend Maartau (webmaster of The Empire site) has posted a new version of Bio Hazard 2 that he cracked. He has also patched the game with GGN's Stosfix, so the game now runs with all TOS versions. Nice work!

Enjoy Bio Hazard 2! See you soon for more rare stuffs ;-)

Random review

And oh boy, you WILL need skill and luck! You control the speedboat using the joystick, use the fire button for the machine gun and the ALT key for missiles. Right from the start you will notice there is A LOT going on in this game. The waterway is just filled with obstacles like rocks, mines and logs. Apart from this, we have enemy boats, rocket-firing turrets on the side and bullet-spewing planes in the sky. If you hit a rock or mine, you explode. If you collide with an enemy boat, you explode. If you get hit by incoming fire, you explode...
