Hello,
Today we got a juicy surprice for you all. An interview with the man who must have made the most shareware/freeware games on the ST ... Dave Munsie. Read all about his history in computer games, why he never released commercial games and when oh when his Choplifter game will see the light of day ...
Enjoy.

Yesterday a new version of SainT with Pasti support was published. Today the Pasti DLL reaches the version 0.2e (still beta release). Remember Pasti allows to run protected games and demos. The Pasti images have .stx extension. At the moment, just a few images are available but no doubt the collection of .STX files will grow once the Pasti-imager will be released officially.

A new version of Pasti Dll has been released. Version 0.2e integrates a couple of bug fixes. One of them is important for running certain images under Saint.
Just Download the new Pasti DLL, uncompress it and put it in the directory of SainT or Steem.

Since we have recently obtained the agreement of editors such as [url=../games/games_search.php?developer_id=295]Generation 5[/url] and [url=../games/games_search.php?developer_id=372]Myriad[/url], we have uploaded more games on the site. 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!

Hello ST fans,
Some of you might have noticed that we have started to release our own cracks overhere at Atari Legend. We have released a few games so far (labelled 'game of the weekend' and 'game of the week'
. And now we have opened up a seperate page in the game section called The Vault. This will be the place we're you'll find those rare games we have dug up. So you don't have to bother looking up the game using the search features, just simply click the Vault link at the top of the page!
Oh, and of course, these games are made available with permission by the authors!
Enjoy it, and have a great weekend everybody!

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 
Finally it's a nice new screen by the mythic ULM. And... Gunstick announce also a forthcoming demo!
Download now the 238 sprites demo by Unlimited Matricks.
...but smooth graphics, incredible music and a deep, complex, intriguing plot easily make up for this small flaw. Oh well, not really a flaw after all; a true hard-boiled adventure player will finally find a real challenge with Maupiti Island !

Read the review of Maupiti Island"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
