We still try to contact editors, authors and publishers, so we all expect for more downloads in the next weeks.

Also thanks to kind answers we received from people of Generation 5, Myriad, Lankhor, Carraz, etc. We really appreciate your help and your agreement. Keep the oldies alive!

November 18, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image As the forum was down, Gunstick didn't publish his record until today. It's a pity: he managed to beat the old record by Leonard with 238 sprites on the screen!
30 sprites more, and he could reach the current record (268 by Leonard again). Let's the contest continue Smiley
Finally it's a nice new screen by the mythic ULM. And... Gunstick announce also a forthcoming demo!

Random review

Three dimensional gaming on an Atari machine was an altogether mediocre experience. Games like Castle Master pushed the genre to its boundaries, while other titles barely justified the use of the contemporary graphic structure. However some individuals saw the potential in a truly 3D environment, one such pioneer was Paul Woakes- creator of Mercenary.

The Atari symbol is known as the "Fuji" because of its resemblance to Mt. Fuji.
