Fans of rare games are probably conversant with the issue of the Thalion game Dragonflight: the game was never hacked in the early days, but it was spread as a patched version by the author Udo Fischer in 2004. This version required a hard-drive to work and 2 MB to run. It wasn't fully playable without the original docs because one of the protections was still there.
Our friends in D-Bug presented a brilliant version some weeks ago - but it was for German readers only. So here we are! Atari Legend is proud now to offer a fully hacked version of Dragonflight... in English!
Both disks have been fully hacked/filed/trained by Avenger: the game can recognize both drives, it needs 1 MB to work and it is fully playable till the end!
It has been tested by Avenger & Klaz for hours and and all known bugs have been fixed by Avenger.
We have also tested the game on various machines: 1040 STF, 1040 STE Steem, CastCE, etc.
With the help of ijor, the compatibilty of the game has also been increased with various hardware and all configurations of Pasti but, of course, the magic PASTI.DLL file isn't really needed since the game has been fully hacked.
Last but not least the intro features a cover tune by Marcer... We'll let you listen to the tune which was used! Great pixel work in the intro by Cyclone/X-Trolls. Also thanks must go to Lotek Style of TSCC for the savegame ![]()
What else to say? Hard to offer a better hack! So let's go and feel free to download the game! Also don't hesitate to post a feedback on the forum, our team is greedy for feedback, bug reports and... greetings of course.

We present you 2046 SNDH files with a total of 4783 tunes to listen at. All original Atari tunes with no crappy StSound-conversions. Grazey have been in overdrive mode in the last year to rip and rip and rip, resulting in this phenomenal rebuild of the archive.
To make sure that the collection doesn't stagnate like the last time, we now have a database driven admin tool which simplify a lot of things, and will help us keep the archive up to date with minimal effort, even with dual-filename versions.
Ok, enough babble, visit the SNDH-page! The Resource for Atari ST chip music on the internet.

In our usual efforts in preserving and improving the 'oldies', we bring you a French adventure game this time, entitled Qin. It was hacked by Hofa in the early years but their crack was unplayable on a real STE, Steem and SainT. Only an old STFM and Stew were able to launch the game. Last but not least, the Hofa disk available on the web had corrupted graphics... Too bad if you wanted to fully enjoy the game...
So our great collector dungeon.master sent working pasti images of the original disks to Klapauzius. Klaz cracked the game, fixed it for the STE and made it hard disk compatible. Qin is now playable with all emulators and should work on almost all real machines!
For all the non-Frenchies, an English version, translated by AL, is already in the making.
Actually a real pleasure is waiting for adventure lovers on this page. Just click on it!

It's time once again for Roger Moore to get the suit on! Not as the Saint, but as Bond.... James Bond.
I believe this game was the last featuring James Bond on the Atari ST. Actually it seemed like a little-too-hard game to complete for some. There are some trained versions out there, but they didn't do the trick!
Here you now get a proper trained version of this game. Here we give you:
The Spy Who Loved Me .

Megadeth - the coder and painter of both crews Pendragons & Prism - is just coming to post a new megademo never published before.
The demo was made in 1992 and mainly features animations done with Quick Ray Tracer.
It also features good graphics drawn by Megadeth and a... monochrome screen!
Also we learned some days ago we may expect for more unreleased stuffs by Prism & Pendragons in the next months. Indeed!

In the 80's, the hero Batman came back to the comic book scene with the help of Frank Miller. After this great success, Warner decided to celebrate merrily the 50th birthday of the caped crusader: the company gave the hero a fantastic movie that featured Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger. This was in the heady days of 1989.
As usual, Ocean bought the copyright and produced a Batman - The Movie video game. Whilst some games licensed by Ocean were really crap, this one wasn't so bad!
Avenger has cracked the game and added a helpful trainer option, that brings unlimited lives + unlimited energy + timer off. Hard to do better, isn't it?
Don't wait! It's time to go back to 1989 and play Batman - The Movie.
Anyway, don't expect this game to be anything like real soccer... to my knowledge, the first game to look and play like the real thing was Konami' s "Winning Eleven" for Playstation. Sensible Soccer, with its fast and furious action, feels more like a pinball game, or an improved version of Pong.

Read the review of Sensible Soccer - European ChampionsThe Atari symbol is known as the "Fuji" because of its resemblance to Mt. Fuji.
