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! ![]()

Jagware.org
July 16, 2005 by Brume
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
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.
Atari Legend presents Dungeon Master
July 3, 2005 by Marcer
For those of you who haven't noticed it, we really have some crazy Dungeon Master freaks on the AL bandwagon. They recently uncovered the German (v1.2) and French (v1.3) versions of this game. So these are now available at this site. Even though this game isn't commercialy available anymore, this still isn't shareware. So if there are people who want this thing removed, please let us know and we'll do so. You'll find more info on both releases at our Dungeon Master page.
As I said before, this is a simple game. Ok, not the state of the art maybe, but it' s immediately rewarding and fun to play. The problem is that there's not much to do, and you' ll soon get bored. Too bad, it could have been a good game with a few more options, an improved interactivity and a decent tune or two...

Read the review of Rock Star Ate My HamsterDid you know?
In the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
