Return to Genesis
November 3, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Return to Genesis is the one game I was never able to play on my Atari STe. Don't ask me why, probably a faulty disc. Too bad, cause it's a great game. Created by Pete Lyon and Steve Bak ("The Dream Team"
, this game could be called the true follow up to "Goldrunnner". All the features that made "Goldrunner" so cool are implemented, together with some new touches to create a completely different gaming experience. But is it as fun as it's predecessor? let's find out! Read the review of Return to Genesis
Goldrunner
November 1, 2001 by ST Graveyard
One of the first ever released vertical shoot 'em up scrollers for the Atari ST, Goldrunner is known for its ultra fast action and slick presentation. And strangely, after this release, no other game ever managed to do the scrolling as well as in Goldrunner. The game was programmed by Pete Lyon and Steve Bak, who called themselves "The Dream Team", and it shows. Responsible for other classics such as "Leatherneck" and "Return to Genesis", the latter being a horizontal shooter of the same caliber. Read the review of Goldrunner
Midwinter

Basically, you' ll spend your time travelling between settlements, trying to recruit new members, destroy enemy vehicles and blow up enemy controlled warehouses and synth plants. At the start of the game you control 16 power plants; once they' ve all fallen under control of general Master' s troops, you' ve lost the game. Your main task, instead, is to reach general Master' s headquarters on the south eastern end of the island and blow 'em up, but it won' t be easy...Read the review of Midwinter
Viz - The Game
October 1, 2001 by Lorenzo
Ok, so Viz is a... how would I describe it? A racing game? An arcade? Well, let's put it like this: based on a popular British (adult) comic strip, this game features three quite disgusting guys trying to run to the end of the level, while avoiding obstacles of a not-so-hilarious nature.Read the review of Viz - The Game
California Games
October 1, 2001 by Lorenzo
A major hit on the old Commodore 64, California Games was an incredibly stunning game for 1987 standards. It managed to recreate perfectly all those californian clicheès: those hot breezes, the sea, the sun, sand between your toes... anyway, this is an extremely enjoyable multi-event sports sim in the good ol' Epyx fashion, probably the best one ever produced.Read the review of California Games
Ray seems to be one of those guys who have done the impossible. In his case, it was converting the amazing id Software classic Wolfenstein 3D to the Atari ST. Everybody who has played this version on his humble ST will agree with me. And we had the chance to talk to the scener who is responsible for one of the coolest accomplishments in Atari ST gaming history.
