Escape 2042 - The Truth Defender
June 23, 2018 by ST Graveyard
I don't really know how they pulled it off, but Escape 2042 almost looks like one of those Indie games we have today on our consoles. The animation of the main character, albeit small, is very nicely done and when there is horizontal scrolling happening, it is super smooth. The levels feature a nice array of colors and each world looks very different than the other. Between levels we have short cutscenes explaining bits and pieces as the story unfolds. I'm actually very impressed by the quality of it all.Read the review of Escape 2042 - The Truth Defender
Ozone
May 28, 2018 by ST Graveyard
Ozone is a game with an interesting history. Released in 1989, creator Nick Harper had always envisioned to make this a full commercial game. Everything seemed right. The game got a lot of attention from distributors, however, once they learned Ozone was created using STOS, all of them backed out one after the other. So in the end it was decided to release the game as shareware.Read the review of Ozone
Supa Zazai Da
January 21, 2018 by ST Graveyard
Supa Zazai Da is an old school horizontal shooter ... with a story! It is clear that the creators ate one too many mushrooms when coming up with this stuff, and I love them for it. You play as Dr. Floyd. Mario and Sonic abducted your girlfriend Maria Whittaker! (Say whut?) So now it is up to you to rescue your natural 36DD breasted girlfriend while shooting your way through hordes of retro game characters. Read the review of Supa Zazai Da
Fascination
January 8, 2018 by ST Graveyard
This game sounds like a porn movie! Yes indeed. We are treated with extremely moody, sampled music. Most of the time it is a short loop, but it does the trick very well. The music is composed by Moby. No, not THE Moby, rather a well known musician from the Amiga demo scene. It couldn’t be more fitting for this game. Great stuff actually!

Super Stario Land
January 4, 2018 by ST Graveyard
While some background graphics would have really added the extra punch, Super Stario Land just feels amazingly polished. Mostly due to the super slick scrolling (and oh boy what a difference it is after playing flip screen platformers like The Blues Brothers or Titus the Fox!). Super Stario Land plays like a dream on an Atari STe. The game is colorful enough, the sprites are nicely detailed, but most importantly, this just looks like a Mario game!Read the review of Super Stario Land
What? An interview with Yoda of the Marvellous V8? Unless you lived totally cut off from the world of cracking during the 80s and 90s, this group must at least ring a bell to you. The V8, who later moved on and co-created The Empire, is one of those very notorious names. Back in the day, this group managed to get all the latest games, even sometimes before they were officially released. The V8 was known to deliver quality. The person we will meet today is none other than one of the founders of the group and probably one of the most prolific pirates in the ST scene. In addition to hacking hundreds of games, Yoda also coded several intros as well as two demos. It is with great honor we present an interview with one of the most famous crackers on the Atari ST. Here we go!
