Le Casque Des Forgerons, an old french game

April 6, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image After the recent break of the site, we start now to wake up (slowlyyy...). We saw recently a request from our friends of aitpast.com, who looked for the game Le Casque Des Forgerons. It's a very rare stuff but it was already supplied by Shredder on both STT files some years ago and released on missing.atari.org. Looks like the site has disapeared now and the game has vanished. Dam webmaster Smiley

The game wasn't protected so the STT format was useless. cb has merged both disks into one, and voila! Please note Le Casque Des Forgerons was released by an unknown company (Coconuts?) in the early years of the Atari ST. So if you have any information about it, feel free to drop us an e-mail.

Take a look at Le Casque Des Forgerons to grab the disk. Of course, expect for more release very very soon!

Two rare demos by Czex

April 2, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image We are a bit late this time because the bandwith was exceeded and the site was unavailable for more than a week. Sorry for the unpleasantness, we are trying to find a solution.

The problem isn't the storage of the .ZIP files (which doesn't use so much bandwith), but it comes from new features. We have recently installed a new Cpanel which is very cool because it brings many more possibilities to edit games details, but it uses too much bandwith.

Our team of coders are working on a solution. We wish them all the best! Of course the bandwith allowed will be probably increased in the next months considering the new coming sections. You'll see them soon Smiley

While the site was unavailable, Lotek Style and Sedma sent both demos that were shown at Demobit'95 but weren't spread so far.

The first demo is a 10k intro done by Czex that reached the third place. It's named Coders Desillusion.

The second one is a full demo created by Czex, too. It's entitled Fanta Morgana. This production won the first price of the party!

Both demos may be downloadable by clicking on the following links: Coders Desillusion and Fanta Morgana.

The release fest continues...

March 23, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image To satisfy the daily needs of all the ST games collectors out there, we bring you another gem today. This time it's an adventure game and probably one of the earliest commercial titles for our beloved machine:

Treasure Island

The plot in this game is of course based on the famous book by Robert Louis Stevenson (you have heard of him, haven't you?).

Fred_R cracked the original disks and Klapauzius patched the game to run off one disk and also from hard disk. Additionally, this version does not require an extra disk for saving your games. The intro was coded by our friends from MJJ-Prod.

Watch this space for more scarce games from the same development team! In the meantime, click here and enjoy another rare classic!

Defeat the evil Mukor!

March 22, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image You don't know Mukor? Shame on you! Time to meet him in

Blasteroids!

Our great cracker Avenger has managed to bring you a cracked, filed, packed and mega-trained version. In addition to the usual infinite credits/energy stuff, the trainer will also allow you to activate extra weapons while playing!

The intro was coded by simonsunnyboy from Paradize and features additional graphics by Mug UK and muzak by Marcer.

Grab this deluxe version here, blast away and give Mukor a run for his money!

Revise your lessons with Mathex

March 21, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image Sometimes it's good to come back to school. Or, for those who have children, it's more fun to make them learn on your Atari ST. The machine has an impressive library of educational softwares.

So our French hacker Fred_R has worked on a rare title named Mathex College - 6e-5e-4e-3e - with thanks to Shredder for the original disk.

The game is in French, but the exposition is quite easy to understand. Please note that many titles in the Mathex series. You'll soon find one more here very soon, but the others are still missing.

Where to get the game? All you have to do is to click here now!

EDIT: the disk has been updated. The game doesn't request any confirmation anymore at the beginning. This is the final version, please download again and sorry for the initial confusion Smiley

End of Capture!

March 20, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image All previous versions spread around (by Superior, The Medway Boys or the Replicants) offered only v1.0 of the game. Because of a serious bug in the mission 0002/level 2, Captive can not be completed. Fortunately Mindscape released another version (1.2), which corrected the problem, but this one remained un-hacked until ... today.

After some hard work, here is a fully cracked version of Captive v1.2.

Avenger managed to remove the protection, file the disk and add a trainer mode! Believe us or not, this time the game wasn't so easy to crack.

The game has been successfully tested with various configurations. It also supports two drives option for more cosiness.

You're just three mouse clicks away from the download. Will you accept the mission? If so, let's go!

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...
