Atari STe games [part two]






Making more use of the enhanced hardware

I'm sure you were expecting this video. I've put together a second recording that features even more Atari STe games from the Crypt archives. Once again, just a few seconds of each is shown, accompanied by the same groovy background tune by Tomchi. If you missed the first video, click here. Enjoy!!





Let's check 'em out...

  • Uridium - Peter has performed his usual magic and transformed this clunky shooter into a beauty.
  • Operation Garfield - I dare you not to laugh at this silly shoot 'em up!
  • Zool - Good on the ST and even better on the STe. Different to Sonic and fun for a few hours.

  



  • Giana Sisters - One of the best-enhanced games, 10x better than the original.
  • Chronicles of Omega - More colours on the STf but smooth as silk on the STe and with DMA audio.
  • Substation - Doom for the ST? Well, no, it's not, but it's still a BRILLIANT game.

  



  • Stardust - Now we're talking, play this Asteroids and tell me it's not mind-blowing!!
  • Heartland 2000 - An Easter Egg with legs, but look how smoooooth it runs!!
  • Zero-5 - The STe goes Star Wars on us, and it's utterly superb. What a cracking game.

  



  • Pac Mania - The original was good, but this blows it out of the water!!
  • R-Type Deluxe - Good old Bod did us proud. I miss him and thank him for the pics.
  • Team - I ain't a soccer fan, but check out this in overscan. Wow!!

  



  • Sliders - Looks weird, scrolls like silk, but can you play it? One very odd game.
  • Obsession - The best pinball game? Very possibly because this is a jaw-dropper, alright!
