Bolo




Brick Blast in STyle!

Tons of Atari ST games run in high resolution and one of the best is Bolo, a Breakout clone. It takes the familiar concept and improves upon it tremendously with lots of extra features, like the ability to move the bat almost anywhere. There are also gravitational effects that are cunningly effective, different brick types, and the ability to change the physics of the ball's speed/direction. Bolo is an awesome brick-blaster. It's brilliant!!

Grab it from Atari Legend who has many menu disks to choose from.

SysInfo





In need of tech support?

SysInfo is a useful utility that can display a whole raft of details about your Atari ST (it recently helped me diagnose a problem with my Mega STe's audio!). It can diagnose everything from TOS/GEM details to the more technical aspects like the Cookie Jar, VBL, traps & other mind-boggling jargon.

Helpful and perfect for geeks! You can download SysInfo at Atarimania.

Maggie

Best leader



Can you believe this?

After FAR too long, Maggie 25th Anniversary issue was released this weekend!!!

Wow, a lot of time has passed since the previous issue but, the latest edition is now available to view off/online. I'm about to download myself a copy and spend some time reliving my older ST days by reading this ace diskmag. Yes, it's been far too long and I'm incredibly excited!! My congrats to everyone involved!!

Download Maggie #25 for your Atari computer (I prefer this). Or download an HTML version to browse anytime. Also, you can find everything over on their website and the Maggie Team are featured on Demozoo.
