This game is dated, no doubt about it. But hey, if you wanted great graphics, you wouldn't be reading this review in the first place. It's all fun to look at. This is where it all started. The graphics aren't bad, but there isn't much variation. We get some different backgrounds, some changing obstacles...and that's about it. Remember that this game was originally created for the Commodore 64! July 2, 2001 by ST Graveyard
As a big Star Wars fan I thought it was about time to check this Atari classic out and give it a go. This game is a bit before my time, I suppose. It was the first Star Wars game ever to grace the screen. Originally created by Atari Inc. for the arcade industry (with loads of success) it was later on converted to the home market. The Atari 2600 being one of the first machines for it's release. Today this game has the status of being a cult classic. My first experience into the Star Wars games was the PC version of "X-Wing". One of the best space combat sims I've ever played. So I wasn't really expecting much from this title. But admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised.

I always thought I'd seen about everything on the ST games scene. As usual, I was wrong. I've been playing games on this system since 1986, been buying magazines since 1992, yet had never heard of a game called "Ork". So when I read about it a few weeks ago on the net, I thought I'd check it out. I've been hooked ever since. Playing this little gem every time I found some free time. At the moment I'm completely stuck, still I think I've seen enough to help immortalize this title with a review. It was released by Psygnosis, a company that was responsible for some of the best games on the ST. I was (and still am) impressed by this "hidden treasure"...June 18, 2001 by ST Graveyard
This is a really good game. You either have the option to take on the challenge against the computer, or another person can join in the 2 player modus. The latter one is especially fun. The game offers a wide variety of moves, which are easy to learn. Especially the "Death Sword" move, when properly executed, is very cool. Before going into battle, you can also enter a practice mode to get the hang of it. June 17, 2001 by ST Graveyard
As you might have already noticed, I love this game. To me, there isn't a better vertical shooter game made since its release. Like other Bitmap games, it laid new standards for other companies to break. Some came close (Thalion's "Wings of Death"
, but in my opinion, it hasn't been beaten. The great gameplay, the superb power ups and the cool final stage bosses make this a dream to play. A must! Xenon 2 remains the king of the shoot 'em up genre, shining high on its throne! 
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!

Read interview of Oskar BurmanIn the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
