New version of the Atari Legend website now online!

December 6, 2020 by ST Graveyard

The whole site has been recoded by our developer lynXX using Bootstrap, but keeping thru to the original design. This way, we hope the project will be more accesible to other future coders. If you want to help out, let us know.

You can also find us on GITHUB if you want to participate in the future development of the project.

Random review

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.

Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
