Turrican II - The Music





Check this out!!

Turrican II: The Music by Black (aka Scott Clifford). A music disk for both ST computers shows just how great this game's tunes are. Included is a selection of stereo remixes for the Atari STe, so what more could you want? I've recorded this video, and it plays about a minute from ten random tracks. So, you should nab the download to hear all the tunes properly. It's best experienced using a real Atari STe. Crank up the volume!!

Credits and the download...

Burger Dream






You are what you eat

Burger Dream is Reisoft's spin on 'Clowns & Balloons' with a Ronald McDonald lookalike collecting flying burgers. Imagine Breakout with a dollop of Space Invaders - but replace the aliens with hamburgers!

Ronald is left to feel the wind in his wig because we control a couple of goons who move a trampoline contraption that allows him to bounce high in the air and collect burgers. These are scrolling across the screen to make it extra difficult. However, try not to drop Ronny otherwise, or he ends up in a crumpled heap.

The mouse is used for left/right movement and is perfectly implemented for smooth & precise control. Sadly, the graphics aren't exactly 16-bit, more like something I would have drawn! Only the blind will appreciate these pixels! Burger Dream is hideous and repetitive, but I admit it was surprisingly enjoyable.
