Less than a month after their latest release, the legendary D-Bug guys are back! This time they offer both games with docs:
- Realms of Reality
- Osmosis
And more revelant information: the main menu was coded by Cyrano Jones (aka The Law from Automation and BBC). It features a fullscreen with 512 colors and a big zoomer! As always Showaddywaddy compiled the whole menu and he packed/fixed the games.

Gamebase ST allows any game to be readily available to play in the emulator of your choice by just clicking on the game name, thus removing all the fuss of manually loading the emulator and game by hand. Gamebase ST's interface allows you to browse the games in your database. When you click a game, you get to see a two or more screenshots of the game in action, along with options to play the game and listen to the game's music. Various fields in a Gamebase database hold information on the games, such as Publisher, Year Published, Musician, Programmer, Genre, Number of players.

The Overscan Demo was the last production on the Atari ST which was never imaged because of the format used. It has crossed the ages without being spread very well, so just a few people had it in 2004. Now it has been actually imaged and patched by the author himself! So it can be easily stored on a real floppy, or it can be ran with an emulator. Steem users have to employ version 2.61 of the emulator, since version 3.0 doesn't display the graphics of the demo. That same author Paul Simoes has also published some unreleased goodies, mainly devoted to replay routs.
Get the Overscan demos here: http://pacidemo.planet-d.net/atarilegend/OVERSCAN.ZIP
And the old screens here: http://pacidemo.planet-d.net/atarilegend/OLD_SCRN.ZIP
I treasure some precious memories about this game, and I bet I'm not the only one here. Once the intro picture pops up on the screen, and the famous "glory of love" song by pop artist Peter Cetera starts playing through the speakers, you're immediately dragged back to the good 'ol days...

Read the review of Karate Kid Part 2The creator of the ST was a guy named Shiraz Shivji, who was also the main engineer behind the Commodore 64.
