Jack The Jester is back!
It's been years since I featured Black Lamp on AtariCrypt. As you all may remember, I said this was one of my favourite Atari ST games. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's great fun (albeit with a cheat for extra lives) and features aesthetics to die for. The sprites alone are absolutely superb, but the graphics/audio are fantastic throughout. Anyhow, you can easily check out my ancient review by clicking here. Go on, click that link!!
It's a joy owning a piece of history, and a while back, I got myself a copy of Black Lamp. It's in near-perfect condition, so I figured a couple of photos were needed to share my warez. Simple as that, really.
> Atarilegend has all the floppy disk downloads and I highly recommend Zuul #63.
I've shared over 40 of my Atari ST games in our Box Art section, which you can see listed on the right. Okay, I bet you're dying to see what's inside the box? It's not exactly bursting with goodies like a typical RPG, so don't expect too much! Enjoy my photos, and I hope you guys (re)play this fantastic platformer immediately.
Let me know in the comments below if you freed Allegoria from those nasty monsters...
Behold, the floppy disk in all its glory! lol
I'm getting a little arty farty with these photographs.
I love how the manual comes with a "map" of Allegorid.
The manual is excellent and right at the centre is a MONSTER GUIDE!
The loading screen is absolutely superb (and I love that it's not a black background!)
Another day, another onslaught of baddies to kill... and we love it!!
ARGHHH, he looks nasty? He is!! Run away from the slayer!!
Turning around might be slow but the firepower isn't. It's fast and furious!!
Oh no, just look at that big boy! The graphics and their movements are gorgeous.
Thanks for "sharing your warez" , for some reason the word warez automatically brings a smile on my face, love this game on both the 8-bit and the 16-bit. Astounishing graphics !
ReplyDeleteHey Erik - thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate that :) And yes, warez is an olde term I guess... from the days I bothered with programs on my Mac ;) Now all I need is Tempus Text or Everest and my NetUSbee hehe
DeleteIf you drag the ST across the tabletop and let the rubber feet "stutter" the FDD at the right time while Black Lamp is loading, it drops you into an interactive memory dump routine... in the Black Lamp font, even. Wouldn't really suggest it these days, but as a kid it blew me away.
ReplyDeleteThat's gotta be you TOM!!
