Games ready to be downloaded

August 7, 2005 by Marcer

Since couple of weeks I have been very active at uploading and sorting out PD/SW games.

I was really irritated over the small amount of games we got online. I think there were 150 games when I started.

This had to change. So now look again. 701 games!
I have been uploading and hunting for the latest versions etc..

If somebody has a more up-to-date version of a game, please contact me at:
www.atari-forum.com

Please enjoy the games, and more is comming! Smiley

Jagware.org

July 15, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image A new website about Jaguar console development was officially open some days ago. Nothing Atari ST related but... the website and the forum are maintained by a crew of various developers, which includes among its members GT Turbo from Cerebral Vortex Software Development (mainly known for the game Tiles Osmosis and the demos Jade and Mental Deflagration). It's a nice place to discuss about coding, hardware, etc. Also here you can find a preview of Poong... for Jaguar of course!

Go to Jagware.org but don't be to frighten by the French language ;-)

Atari Legend Presents Willow

July 3, 2005 by Marcer

News illustration image We are proud to present to you an old classic for the Atari ST. Based on the movie with the same title, [b]Willow[/b] is a rare classic by Lucasfilm games. This game was, to my knowledge, never available on the well known compact discs. We, games hunters at Atari Legend, hope to keep the memory of this title alive by presenting it to you. You can find out more detail here. Make sure to post your experiences in the comments section of the game page.

Even though this is considered abandoneware by most, it is not our intention to dissatisfy the creators. So if anyone has anything against this release, let us know and it will be disabled.

Enjoy it.

Random review

Let me start by saying that if you're looking for a super realistic simulation, you'd be better off with "Formula One World Championship" by Microprose! If, however, you are looking for some serious speed and want to see the scrolling capabilities of your ST, then you gotta try this baby!
