Deja vu
October 17, 2003 by perihelion
This is one of the big three, as far as I was concerned. The other two being Uninvited and Shadowgate. Three graphical adventure games that felt really good and cool, each one with it’s own strength. In retrospect though, all three pretty much suck, however not compared to other adventure games of their times. Does it show I’m not all that fond of adventure games? I’ll try to be fair.

Brataccas
August 27, 2003 by DBG
Derived from the legendary Bandersnatch, an unreleased Spectrum game ("mega-game"
, Brataccas was released in late 1985 or 1986. Being the first Psygnosis title for the ST, it was shown at the same time the original ST models were presented. A Commodore Amiga version was also released, and according to some information, a third version for the Apple Macintosh existed, although we have not verified that.Read the review of Brataccas
Battle Zone
July 20, 2003 by ST Graveyard
Everybody probably knows the famous game "Worms". In this game, by Software company "Team 17", you play as a team of 4 worms, battling it out against an other group on a playfield. The worms are armed with all kinds of crazy weaponry, like bazookas, grenades and much more. "Team 17" started programming for the Amiga exclusively, after the demise of the machine they went on to create games for the PC. Too bad they never considered developing for the ST, cause they are responsible for some of the greatest games on the Amiga. Another good example of their work is "Alien Breed". However, this company surfaced late during the second half of the 90's, when the ST was already dying. So that might explain their absence from the ST scene...Read the review of Battle Zone
Terminator 2 - Judgment Day
May 23, 2003 by ST Graveyard
Before playing the Atari ST version, I had seen the PC version at my friends. I was impressed by the graphics back then. Especially the digitized movie cut scenes in between levels were just cool. And I was a bit afraid if the ST could handle all this (what did I know of hardware back then). Until the day arrived and I received a copy for my precious ST. I popped in the discs and after some loading time ... My jaw dropped to the floor just by seeing the digitized scrolling screen of the T800 endoskeleton. Never before was I so proud to be an ST owner ... This was something none of my friends had ... Read the review of Terminator 2 - Judgment Day
Hard Nova
March 22, 2003 by perihelion
There aren’t that many RPG’s for the ST, fortunately, it has some of the best. Hard Nova is one of these; one of the finest RPG’s I’ve played even though it for some reason is quite overlooked. Hard Nova is the half-sequel to Sentinel Worlds, if you’ve heard of that game, also designed by Karl Buiter. I remember getting this classic for Christmas ages back, probably in -92 or -93. Back then, the manual felt enormously thick and the map gigantic. Now when I look at it, the manual feels like a quick install note and the map more like a pamphlet, time flies…Read the review of Hard Nova
Oskar Burman has had a lifelong vision of creating virtual worlds. In 2016, he made this dream come true by starting his own VR exclusive game company Fast Travel Games. Since February 2018 their first release, called Apex Construct, is available to the public. Before his endeavours with virtual reality goggles, Oskar Burman was head of Rovio studios where he was responsible for Angry Birds 2. He has played an important role in the creation of games like Just Cause 2, Battlefield : Heroes and Ignition, to name a few. But it is the very beginning of this man's carreer that is of most interest to us Atari ST fans. You see, Oskar was a member of Unique Developments Sweden, where he created the very first FPS game for the Atari ST ... Substation!
