So, is "Zool" a "Sonic" beater? Definitely NOT! If you want to play "Sonic", you have to buy a Sega (or download an emulator). "Zool" is a great game, but not as good as "Sonic" IMO. But that doesn't change the fact that it is one of the best, most colorful and fastest platformers for your ST! I prefer "Fire and Ice", but if you're looking for fast action, "Zool" is your game!

Rock Star Ate My Hamster

Did you ever dream of becoming a rock star ? Well, forget it, it' s not all bells and whistles, you know... 99,9% you' re gonna end up playing in a few pubs, in front of a bunch of guys much more interested in their beers than music, earning less than what you've got to spend on instruments...thankfully, Codemasters gave us "Rockstar ate my hamster" to make our dreams come true !Read the review of Rock Star Ate My Hamster
Super Cars II

I still remember those rainy days, playing computer games all afternoon with my buddy. First playing as a perfect team, but the further I progressed in the game, the higher the tension got, and the more heated the conversations went. Until I finally snapped! My friend did something which prevented me from entering the next round! Just great ... I think this sounds familiar to most of us! This effect can only be caused by playing a tension-filled game ... and Super Cars 2 is such a game! Read the review of Super Cars II
Addams Family, The
December 30, 2001 by ST Graveyard
The Addams Family is a game with an extremely high frustration factor! This game is so big, you sometimes feel like giving up. All the rooms are crawling with annoying enemies. I don't understand how you can finish this game without cheating! I've been playing all day long and I managed to free one member. And I have to admit, I used the save state feature in WinSTon a lot!Read the review of Addams Family, The
Battlehawks 1942
December 28, 2001 by ST Graveyard
I thought it would be really nice to review this little gem, not only cause it is a good game (though obviously dated), but cause it also has some great educational value. You see, this was the first flight simulator released by a company then known as "Lucasfilm games". Written by Lawrence Holland, a programmer who is responsible for some of the best simulations ever. "Battlehawks" was the first in a great WWII trilogy, the predecessor to "Their Finest Hour" and "Secret weapons of the Luftwaffe". Sadly, the last mentioned was never released for the ST. But "Their finest hour" was, and the roots of "Battlehawks" can clearly be seen. Read the review of Battlehawks 1942
A few years ago, I watched an incredible documentary about Mortal Kombat. It took me right back to the days of playing The Ultimate Arena on my STe, and it got me thinking—was this Atari game really made with live actors? No, that couldn't be… or could it? So, I began searching for the elusive creator of the game, known only by the initials T.R. Buz. After three years of searching, I finally found the man himself. I had a boatload of questions. This interview may seem a bit chaotic, as the exchanges between Théo and me spanned several weeks, but I didn’t want any details to be lost to time. So, I’ve shared everything. Read on for the full story behind the making of the only Mortal Kombat clone on the Atari in this extensive interview!
