Menace Remastered
Menace is a pretty decent Psygnosis shooter, and ever since Peter Putnik created the White Star upgrade (B5!), I've enjoyed it even more. But it's been a love-hate relationship. While the new ship is great, the status panel takes up far too much valuable screen real estate and limits the viewing distance.
So, ever since I teamed up with my new best friend, Claude, I've been itching to fix their lukewarm shooter. And I have: an improved framerate, LOADS of optimised code, DMA music, and (you've guessed it) a full-screen display. Okay, you're wondering why there are still YM effects? Well, two reasons: 1) I like them and 2) they sounded better than the sampled effects that ultimately ruined the cool background music.
All credit to DMA Design (although I don't know why) and to Peter Putnik for his amazing White Star hack. This is a free download, but, as always, there may be bugs and niggles here and there. Let me know if you liked it or ran into any problems. I think it's pretty cool now, so enjoy my version of Menace STe!
- This great new download is at Atarimania and AtariUpToDate.
- I have made lots more slop that you can download by clicking here.
- There are a tonne more games supporting the Atari STe, so check 'em out!
Yeah, I have a cool, totally not AI intro screen. :^)
You won't see this annoying and pointless intro anymore!
So for comparison, here is the original game (with the White Star)
Now you can see further ahead in your White Star ship.
