Artillery gaming!
Whilst enjoying my cuppa this morning (in my Atari ST mug) I stumbled upon a tweet about Ballerburg, a turn-based artillery game by Eckhard Kruse. It's an ST classic and offers addictive, strategical gameplay to blast enemies into smithereens using basic maths to calculate our weaponry's speed & direction.
Ballerburg requires the ability to read German and a monochrome hi-res monitor. But let's be honest, as ST users, we are familiar with language translating on the fly! There are programs to emulate the ST's high-resolution mode. As I type, my Atari STe is running Ballerburg and I'm (trying) to teach our 6-year-old daughter the basics. Sadly, that ain't going well so I know she will be an easy victim!

Yes, I'm the father of the year. I'm going to destroy her. Muwhahaha!!
