Paulo Simoes releases another fullscreen in 2004!

December 1, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image After the 16x16 sprites attempt, Paulo Simoes is just coming to publish a new demo. It features 70 balls that are displayed in fullscreen with a nice module of... 8 voices!
The mod is replayed at 15.65 KHz. The Oktalyzer music was remixed by the crew Tranquilizer back in 1996. For emulators users, please run the demo under SainT 1.80 or 1.85. The current version of Steem doesn't yet replay the music correctly.
The result may look oldschool, but it's a great screen we'd like to see more often.

Feel free to download the Panic Demo by Paulo Simoes now.

The final 3 Grazey Zak Hacks disks released

November 29, 2004 by Grazey

News illustration image 1990-1 was the year when I released my first music rip disk on the ST (GZH #1). 14 years later the series concludes with disks 37, 38 and 39. The most striking thing about this release is the definitive Mad Max collection (459 tunes)... now also nicely linked (e.g. 29 Turrican 2 tunes in one SNDH file) and Falcon/CT60(!) compatible.

On disk 39 you'll find my full SNDH list... I never realised I'd converted so many tunes... 2264 SNDH files equating to 4855 tunes.

Interview with Dave Munsie!

November 29, 2004 by ST Graveyard

News illustration image 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.

Pasti DLL v0.2e for emulators

November 24, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image 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.

The author Ijor wrote:
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.

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!
