Game of the week-end #2

November 13, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Most of you waited for more news about the forum. Sorry, it's still down but it should be back very soon! We have found a new host and the upload is on the way.
This week-end we put another rare game as we promised it. This is another french game (we have a bunch of them) and it was published by Carraz Editions. This time, the Atari Legend team provides Roman Policier which let create your own stories like a thriller writer. Funny concept for every kind of public. This is one of the rare stuffs made by Carraz which isn't an educational game. Already a big thank you to the fine people of Carraz for making this possible!

Go there and download Roman Policier. Also more Carraz games will be available very soon ;-)

16*16 sprite record

November 7, 2004 by leonard

News illustration image Hi,

Phantom has beaten my previous 220 sprites record with 222. (To be honest, the sprites are a bit close together, witch make the clearing easyer, so I don't think he can display 220 of them with my curve).

Anyway congratulations to him, it's not an easy task to display more than 220 sprites.

As I promise, I'll give you the password for my actual *secret* record. I'll post the password the 15, november. So if any coder re working on the record they have time to publish their demo before I release the password.

Of course you can still try to crack the password till the 15 november ! :-)

Game of the week-end #1

November 6, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image We inaugurate here a new feature of the site: the game of the week-end. This feature will offer you a rare game each Saturday. This game may be a disk found in an old box, or a game newly cracked by us. In both cases it has never been spread before.

And guess what? The first game we offer now is a Loriciel title. It's not a new crack, but a new patched version of Quasar. The disk previously worked on french TOS only. Our best cracker Klapauzius has managed to remove the bug, translated into the english language and has also trained it. It's probably not a big game (it goes back to 1986) but it was a shame non-french-TOS users couldn't play with it.

So go to the Quasar page to get the Atari Legend version! French users won't miss the Troll & co. version, that works on french TOS only.

Random review

The release of Titus the Fox is also a bit of a confusing one. I remember my friend, who had a 386 PC back in the day, coming up to me during lunchbreak at school, telling me about this new cool platformer he acquired called Moktar. I never heard of it, but decided that, after schoolbell rings, I would go check it out at his home. When I saw the game, I couldn't believe my eyes. This was exactly like the screenshots of Titus the Fox I saw in my magazine. Even the title screen was completely the same apart from the depiction of the main character. And it was kinda fun to play as well...even on a PC ... without soundblaster ... and with keyboard (for crying out loud).
