Maxymiser Compo

October 3, 2006 by Marcer

News illustration image To celebrate the latest version of maxYMiser, and to answer the requests of maxYMiser users, I announce a competition for maxYMiser music!

Any style or effects are allowed, as long as the music is playable on a standard Atari ST or STe.

Entries from emulator users and non-sceners are strongly encouraged!

The deadline is on the 4th December 2006, and there will be a decent prize for the winner. The winner will be decided by a public voting relating to a demo and MP3 release of the music in mid-December.

There are hardly any rules, but for more information visit the compo website or send an email.

Thanks, and good luck to all entering!

ST Frontier now for PCs

September 28, 2006 by JamesRC

News illustration image There are dozens of remakes of ST era games floating around on the giant combination curiosity shop and flea market that is the Internet. There are so many, in fact, that any attempt at a list of them would no doubt immediately consume all the space on the Atari Legend server, bringing down the site, and indeed all other sites hosted within a twenty mile radius, as well as leaving the administrators with a bandwidth bill equal to the net worth of two small nations.

So I best not do that, eh?

What is worth a mention, however, is Tom Morton's lovely GLFrontier. What Tom has done is to have taken one part original disassembled ST Frontier code, one part lovely open source Hatari code, a dash of GL and 3D lighting spice, and whisked the whole thing together in a big bowl before baking for a few months at 400 degrees.

The result is a Windows (or indeed Linux) version of the classic Elite II - Frontier which is based upon the original ST code, and yet can run faster and in higher resolutions, to boot!

You can grab a copy at his website, and really, why wouldn't you?

Random review

I remember getting this classic for Christmas ages back, probably in -92 or -93. Back then, the manual felt enormously thick and the map gigantic. Now when I look at it, the manual feels like a quick install note and the map more like a pamphlet, time flies…
