Motelsoft games

February 14, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image With the help of some friends, we managed to find most of the games released by Harald Breitmaier and Heinz Munter between 1987 and 1992. We obtained then the rights to upload on the site all the games that they created under the labels of Motelsoft and Softwave. Both editors released sharewares and freewares mainly in german language. One of the games was translated in english by Grazey of PHF himself. Fans of RPG will probably appreciate most of the titles, but the duet also made some mind games.

Also please note we haven't uploaded Dark Stone Ritual since it contains damaged graphics. We are working on a fixed version at the moment. Of course, whenever you'd own a missing title, feel free to get in touch with [email=pacidemo@planet-d.net]us[/email] (every contributor is credited in the box of download).
Thanks to everyone who helped us: Purpleeagle01, Shredder, Marcer, Heinz Munter, Thothy and Lotek Style. Greetings to you, guys!

Visit the Motelsoft and the Softwave listings on the site, and complete your collection. Also a few more disks will be uploaded soon.

ST-Sound goes to OpenSource

February 11, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image Ten years after the first release he coded, Leonard of Oxygene is just coming to publish the source code of the famous ST-Sound. ST Sound is a sound emulator for Windows, MS-Dos, Linux and Be-OS. The program can also emulate Amiga FC musics, CPC tunes, etc.
After a clean up, a full package is so available on Leonard website. It contains all descriptions and also the full code to play .YM files on the PC. So everyone can now use it in his own application/demo/game Smiley
Looks like ST-Sound won't be updated by Leonard anymore, unless someone else brings the the project back (we recommend actually to use WinJam to replay ST musics in high quality).

Feel free to grab the ST-Sound on the Leonard website.

Penta: new game, great game.

February 8, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image The crew Paradize has released today a new game named Penta. It's a kind of puzzle game and requires a logical brain. It may look a bit difficult, but it's very funny to play.
Simmon Sunnyboy made all the code, while STSurvivor worked on the graphics and 505 composed the different tunes. The results is brilliant: efficient gameplay, good designs and involving music.
The game is STE enhanced, but also works on any STFM or Falcon computer. Also a joystick or a jagpad can be used, instead of the keyboard.

Enough to write! Time to visit the Paradize website to get the filed version. Or go on the Penta page of the site to download the MSA version.

Random review

So if you are 13 AND stupid, or if you like burping out loud at parties, scratching your balls in public and generally stinking like a goat, then this could be the game of your life.
