International Karate Plus (IK+) is one of the best beat 'em ups ever. Period. Even by today's standards. This game is the follow up to the legendary "International Karate". Although the first game was never actually released on the ST, we did get to see an updated version by the name "World Karate Championship" (System 3, 1986). This is one of those games I used to play all the time with friends. And since I discovered ST Emulation, I still start it up now and then. They just don't make games like these anymore...August 26, 2001 by Lorenzo
In 1980 an american woman, Roberta Williams, together with her husband Ken, released a game for the Apple II called, quite simply, "Adventure", written and programmed, as she says, in the family kitchen. It was a text adventure with graphics, like many others, but for the first time graphics were not just standing still on the background, they were truly a significant part of the gameplay. Shortly after, the couple released te first chapter of the King's Quest saga, a game that was going to leave a heavy mark on gaming history, the first great graphic adventure...

Ikari Warriors is one of the many rambo-like wargames that graced the computer screens in the 80's. This game is known to be the follow up to the legendary "Commando" game. The latter one has always been considered the first vertical scroller "one-man-against-an-army" game and it inspired an entire genre. "Commando" was released in 1985 by Capcom for the arcade market, Ikari Warriors followed only one year later in 1986. It was then converted to almost any home entertainment system. In 1987 the ST version saw the light of day. Ikari Warriors introduced something new. It was now possible for another player to join the war fair! August 6, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Have you ever heard of a little game called "Pong"? If not, well then you must have been on Mars for the last 30 years or so. This classic Atari game dates back from the 70's. In "Pong" you had to play some sort of tennis. There were 2 bats and a ball, and it was your job to try and bounce the ball behind the opponents bat. It happens sometimes that a game, derived from a classic idea, gets even better than the original. This is a bit the case with the following game. "Arkanoid" is the mother of all breakout games. We all know the concept by now. In this type of game we only get one bat and a ball, and it is our job to destroy the bricks at the top of the screen, by bouncing the ball at them. Once you miss to return the ball, you lose a life. It's really simple, and addictive, I can assure you. Originally released by Taito for the arcade market in 1984, it was converted to almost any home system at the time. August 5, 2001 by Lorenzo
All seems quiet in an old edwardian mansion. A party is going on, and people seem to get on ok, more or less. But then, all of a sudden, a shot... a scream... someone has been murdered. And you, of course, are the master sleuth who' s been called to solve this little annoying problem, but be warned, you' ve only got 2 hours to find the killer before the police comes in.
Last year we did an indepth documentary (This is the updated bonus version of this video from 2022 - The original can be viewed here) on an obscure platformer called Son Su Shi. At the time a few interviews were conducted and this one got stuck in translation limbo. But now, with the imminent (?) release of the complete version of the game, it is finally time to release our talk with Saïd Hadjiat (aka Zaè). He was a member of the French demo crew NeXT but maybe even more important, the founder of publishing company Expose Software, best known for releasing the tool Audio Sculpture and much more.
