Pang
November 6, 2002 by ST Graveyard
When I hear the name "Pang" , I'm not only thinking of an addictive, little game with big balls...I'm also reminiscing of summer evenings with friends (the summers that seemed to last forever), playing this game as a team. One particular friend that, sadly enough, passed away about two years ago. I immediately start to hum the catchy intro tune, which sticks in your head forever. That's the beauty of these old games, I'm not only playing them again cause they are a lot of fun, but they also hold some precious memories. Read the review of Pang
Hero's Quest

All big hit Sierra games are named “something quest”, right? Police Quest, Space Quest, King’s Quest and so on. So, logically, this game was called Hero’s Quest. Then comes Gremlin, with this license thing from MB Games. MG Games had just created a nice board game called Hero Quest (in which you are four champions killing monsters). Gremlin says, you can’t have that name, sorry. Sierra graciously abided, renaming the game Quest for Glory, but the Atari version is called Hero’s Quest. Read the review of Hero's Quest
Barbarian
September 8, 2002 by perihelion
It’s a game with a cool atmosphere, and it’s a bit different. It’s not fast, furious action, but a little slow and contemplative. However, it all gets a bit boring after a while, and extremely frustrating. With this package comes some bugs as well, that can sometimes destroy your game play. But don’t let this discourage you completely, just because it’s such a different and innovative approach to action platform games, it deserves a try, you’ll soon discover if you like it or not.

TGGS is a fantastic game, no doubt about it, and the ST version is just fine. The graphics are average, the music is good and the gameplay is awesome. If you always wanted to play Mario on your ST, this is your chance. TGGS is just as good. When you play it, you'll understand why Nintendo got the heebee geebees when this came out. But if you're not just an ST fan and wanna play the best version of TGGS, get your hands on the C64 version of the game!

Team Yankee
August 3, 2002 by ST Graveyard
"Team Yankee" was the first in a respected trilogy of tank simulations by Empire Software ("Pacific Islands" and "War in the Gulf" being the follow ups). The game is based on the book of the same name by Harold Coyle, which was a New-York Times number one bestseller. In the book the Russians have decided to heat up the cold war and start a campaign in Europe. You are captain Sean Bannon, commander of the tank company Team Yankee. With 4 tank platoons under your command, it's your job to wipe out all Russian activity, which is situated in Germany. An intruiging story...But what about the game? Read the review of Team Yankee
There were not many famous programmers for the Atari ST in Germany. Guido Henkel is one of them for sure. Games like Hellowoon, Ooze and Lords of Doom on the ST or the Das schwarze Auge trilogy - aka the Realms of Arkania in English - and Planescape: Torment will be unforgotten. ‘Hellowoon’ was the first game, that I bought for the ST, I had the idea to do this interview over a year ago and to my pleasure, Guido agreed with the words: ‘Yes, of course. Thanks, that you still remember me’.
