Enhanced Games [STe]

Enhance me, baby!

I wanted to create a single page that lists all the enhanced games - those that run significantly better on the Atari STe thanks to the hardware scrolling, Blitter chip, DMA audio, extra colours, and JagPags. However, I will ignore any game where the only upgrade is using the extended palette. Ugh, such a ripoff!!

So, whilst sifting through the archives, I quickly realised that the list would be much larger than I initially expected! In fact, I uncovered far more games than I had anticipated. Please note that this isn’t a complete list - it’s simply a quick-access guide to everything featured and reviewed here on AtariCrypt.

Note that some games are enhanced on the older ST computers - if a Blitter is present. Games like Puffy's Saga & Gauntlet. Also, Menace is the only game listed that works on both computers equally. Regardless, please remember that this page is aimed specifically at the Atari STe.

Each title is listed alphabetically alongside a column that indicates its main enhancements. Let me know if I have made any errors. I hope this list will be helpful to you STe Nutters? Happy enhanced gaming...
