Atari Legend first release

April 6, 2004 by Brume

Just a short news to announce our first release. The game is named 'Le Petit Lecteur' and was published by Carraz in the Eighties. It's a french game for kids. Not so bad, graphics are cute.

It's a co-operation release: the intro was made by Bigfoot more than 12 years ago but wasn't spread so far. The game was supplied by Felx and cracked by myself.

We will release more stuffs in the next weeks. We have already hacked some rare stuffs and we are in the process to crack more. Beware D-Bug, we are in the place! Just joking of course...

'Le Petit Lecteur' is available only at ST Alive website (happy birthday!).

Atari Legend site update

April 4, 2004 by ST Graveyard

Hello everybody,

It is with great pleasure I'm announcing this new update of the AL project. Over the past weeks loads of screenshots and boxscans have been added to the game section. And we have made it all available for your viewing pleasures. To see how much is online, you can checkout the new statistic page in the game section.

Updates :
- Greatly expanded the search functionalities in the game section. From all the game detail pages you can click on any piece of info (eg. developer, publisher, coder, musician, release year ...) to perform a deeper search on the info in the database.
- If you have an account and are logged in, you can add comments to your personal favorites. A new game comment section is available.
- We have added a small statistic page so you can check for yourself when/if new game multimedia is inserted in the database.
- A game info submit page has been placed online (you have to be logged on) so you can send us info regarding games. This way we can complete our database. You can also simply use the forum.
- The game boxscans are now online.
- We have added more functionalities to the screenshot pop ups. Now you can zoom, switch between shots from within the pop up and watch a slideshow of the screenshots!
- Everytime you load the frontpage, a new intro pic and quote is loaded on screen ... Just as a little extra!

I would also like the thank the guys in the AL multimedia team and at Atari Forum for sending so many screenshots and boxscans! We could not have made this site what it is now without you guys. Continue the great work! Thanks very much!

Enjoy the update. That is it for now.

This is the AL team signing of ...

Houba demo (preview) by Zuul

March 23, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Another day, another rare demo sent by Ken of Zuul! How could we thank him enough?.

This time we received the preview version of the Houba demo, probably the last Zuul project on Atari ST. This is a multipart demo and it contains mainly 3D objects. It was never finished since Stix - main coder - was working on a game at the same time. But it looks great, and the gfx are well drawn, too.

Since it was never finished, the demo has no end. Don't be scared if the last screen is black, so. For the non-french readers, 'Houba' is the only word spoken by a caracter named 'Marsupilami'. It was created by Franquin in the comic 'Le Journal de Spirou'.

Golden Age demo by Hysteria!

March 22, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image The Golden Age by the French crew named Hysteria was never released. It was mentioned shortly into the Evil screen in the Ventura demo (thanks to Lotek Style/TSCC for this information), but it hasn't actually reached our screens until today. Shame on us.

Fortunately Ken of Zuul sent some days ago a bunch of demos and... it includes most of the screens of the Golden Age! Keep in mind it has never released, so some screens aren't finished and the main loader crashes. Luckily they all work from the desktop. Thanks to Ken for this piece of treasure.

Random review

The visuals aren't the best I've seen from my lovely Atari ST which isn't due to their quality but the lack of variety. The backdrops are nice but could have made better use of the palette for things like destructible blocks. Most sprites are well-drawn and detailed, especially the stripy dinos from the Prehistoric Zone.
