Jinks

This looks sucky!

Jinks appears as a horizontally scrolling 'Breakout', but is technically one of the worst ST games ever. Rainbow Arts’ port of this game is a disgrace. The incredibly jerky scrolling is enough to make your eyes bleed after just a few minutes of play. It’s that awful, and I feel sorry for anyone who spent their money on it.

Thankfully, Peter Putnik has attempted to improve the code by using the Blitter (as shown in the video). However, all disk images of Jinks contain the same bad data. Therefore, Peter is seeking anyone who can provide an image of the original floppy disks. This will allow him to repair this piece of history for his enhanced version.

Please get in touch if you have the original disks and can help...

• This new Blitter-powered version is downloadable from Atarimania.
• If you want to torture your eyeballs, then download the original at Hang Loose.
• Trusteft has a humorous recording of the original jerky game!!

Collaboration Two

Oh no, not another disk?

Following on from last year's success, Collaboration #2 has been released. The STatariART gang has been busy, creating more funky pixel art by many different people who kindly submitted their Degas dabbles. You will even see a few images from yours truly. Brace yourself for that horror; don't get your hopes up :o)

A lot of hard work went into this production, and it's always fantastic to see so many people coming together like this. People like us aren't often associated with the "scene", so let's hope we see many more disks. Any ideas? Contributions? Get in touch. Until then, Clickety-Click and download Collaboration #2 via Demozoo.
