Talent + Atari STe = another new game
Samuel (aka Zamuel_a of Pac-Mania and Giana Sisters fame) is working on a third game for the Atari STe. This time it's based on "Metroid". Bear in mind, this is a WIP, we can walk, jump, fire, and explore the levels using a 16-colour-limit-busting display! The Blitter will handle the sprites with hardware scrolling being utilised for a silky-smooth display. Heck, even the analogue ports will be used (now, where's my Jag Pad?)
As you can see, it looks fantastic but Samuel is also asking for help: with music, sound effects, sprites, and level design. If you can help, please contact him directly via the Atari-Forum website. I wish him luck.
It looks like Samuel might have another winner on his hands! I cannot wait to see how this develops over time; it looks great so far!! Check out a couple more screenshots below and... watch this space...
