Chaos Engine, The
March 8, 2005 by indigo
We have all seen top-down shoot-em-ups before. But presented with the choice of having your character aided either by lets say- your best mate or directly controlled by the computer AI, the co-operative nature of the game was at the time unsurpassed. What also made this game unique was the scale of the playing area, while exploring a single level it could take you hours to eventually find all the secrets- a tribute to the deviousness of its creators.

Crapman
March 5, 2005 by ST Graveyard
Well, we all know the story by now, I guess. Pacman was conceived by Toru Iwatani while he was eating a pizza. When he looked at his plate, after he had eaten a slice of his pizza, he came up with the idea of creating the main circular and yellow character we all know and love today. That was in 1979. Once the game was released for the American public in 1981 by Midway, it all became a major hype. Pacman was everywhere. Read the review of Crapman
Ishar 2 - Messengers of Doom
December 13, 2004 by Shredder
This is a role playing game which is played like Dungeon Master. You move in a universe of three dimensions. You have the possibility to create a team including up to five members. The subtlety of the gameplay consists of creating a team of individuals with extremely different personalities (Elves, Dwarves, Human...). You can manage each individual by clicking on his bust and assigning different objects to him or her. Management can prove to be tiresome for a beginner but once you learned the controls of the game, you'll be happy with it.Read the review of Ishar 2 - Messengers of Doom
Sheer Agony
December 10, 2004 by Shredder
My comments are tough but still, I appreciate this game, because the story is interesting and it's quite a thrilling game. Unfortunately this game doesn't use the possibilities of the ST by far. But Sheer Agony is still a good game. If you have the opportunity, play the Falcon version in true color. Read the review of Sheer Agony
Driventure

Indeed, Driventure truly sucks! This must have been the first game that gets a bare minimum score. Hey, lets hope the creator learned something from his programming efforts and went on to achieve major goals! And I also bet we got this little game for free! So why complain, he?

In the 80s, France produced a huge number of games for the Atari ST, some pretty mediocre, others very successful. Eric Safar's games belong to the second category. Eric participated in titles such as Ranx or Les Portes du Temps on the Atari, before going to Cryo to work on MegaRace... But he's also the author of an adventure game that became a real hit: Atlantis. Today, Eric is still passionate and continues to develop games for our old machines. After releasing Athanor 1 a few years ago for 8 bit machines, he is about to release Athanor 2 on the Atari ST. Let's give him the chance to tell us his story in great detail. Be ready for one of the most captivating interviews on this site!
