Too quick for an old man
Running this humble website means that I get to play tons of Atari ST games – it’s hard work, but somebody’s gotta do it!!! Quite often, I revisit games that I remember being good at, hoping they will make for a good review. So, I thought it would be a good idea to play the amazing Anarchy by Psygnosis.
Anarchy is a shameless Defender clone, albeit with tremendously fast visuals and great audio. It’s fun and challenging, running at a jaw-dropping 50/60fps (to think WJS didn’t use the Blitter!!). Yeah, I remember this as a wonderful example of what the ST was capable of in the hands of a developer who cares.

However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to realise there are some games I shouldn’t boot up anymore. Games that push my reactions too far, and Anarchy has proven to be my new personal gaming nightmare!! Yep, I was all over the place, wondering what was going on as I died over and over again.
In the end, it was fun but disastrous - thank you, Wayne Smithson/WJS for making me realise my age!
... So, what's your "Anarchy" ??
But, damn, that cover...
