There can be only one
I hate questions like, "What's your favourite game". An impossible question to answer because it doesn't take into consideration the genre or even my mood at that moment. Plus my answer changes daily! However, people still ask me which is understandable but also quite infuriating. Or am I in a grumpy mood?!!
Possibly!! Yet I'm actually wondering what is my favourite Atari ST game! We have a ginormous library so how can I answer? Here goes: I'm ignoring ratings. I'm ignoring genre. I'm ignoring my mood. I'm ignoring everything to make this the most pointless article ever. Wait, it's wrong to pick Dungeon Master, right?
NO!! I cannot choose that because it's the game everyone automatically plumps for. Rightly so, but...
Anyhow, what about Defender of the Crown? What about Stardust? What about Rogue? Then there is Prince Of Persia, Gauntlet II, Joust, Magic Boy, Borodino, Zero-5, Stunt Car Racer, Speedball, Populous, Golden Axe, Time Bandit, The Secret Of Monkey Island, Death Chase, The Pawn, Rick Dangerous, Hostages, Kult, Resolution 101, Stormlord, Midwinter, Hunter, Legends Of Valour, Carrier Command, Mr Do! Run Run, Captain Blood, North & South, Starglider, Oids, Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, Turrican, and Out Run.
The list goes on and on and on... (I was joking about Out Run!)
So, with my back against the wall and a loaded gun held against my empty head, the dreaded question is asked. It demands an answer. I'm starting to sweat. What game might come out trumps? Well, after great thought (honest) I've made my decision - knowing full well this is a pointless venture that makes no sense.
Nobody will read this rubbish website so I'm perfectly safe from ridicule.
I've done it and picked the best Atari ST game.
Do you wanna know what it is? Really, are you that bored? Right, scroll on...

The CryptO'pinion?
I have picked Domark's Shadowlands as the best Atari ST game. Not only was it ahead of its time but created, designed and produced to near perfection. It offers the player a fascinating, atmospheric, and captivating world to explore. What, you completely disagree with me? Well, there's a shocker!! Am I really that wrong?
I don't care :p but click the above link to read my review? Hang on, can I change my mind? lol
Yes, this was silly and a pointless waste of our time. Regardless, if you had a gun held to your head and forced to make that dreaded decision - what Atari ST game would you choose? It can be absolutely anything at all except Dungeon Master. I'm eager to hear your thoughts so let me know in the comments below. STay Atari.

The title screen is superb and nicely animated too, which this screenshot fails to show!
The opening level outside is quite lame but don't enter the dungeon without looking around first...
Once inside, the game perfectly introduces you to the lighting, puzzles, and monsters.
The first baddie is this fella but, don't worry because he's really easy to kill.
Another baddie and some pick-ups too. Hang on, is that a key I see?
Replaying this game again, from scratch, is proving to be fantastic. What an adventure!!
Make sure you read the manual. There are more than enough helpful hints to get you started.
