Lots of games have cool intros but Domark's Race Drivin' must surely rank high as one of the best? It may only last a minute or so but it's a zany mix of Wacky Races and a dollop of Carmageddon thrown in for good measure. A brilliant intro for what is one of the toughest racers - can you drive in a straight line? Well, I know I can't!! O_o

The History of ULM
U..L..M..!!
I saw a stupid tweet the other day about the Atari ST demoscene by someone who is obviously an Amoeba user. Rather than rise to the bait, it inspired me to write this quick piece. Besides, we know the ST has a belting scene that is alive & kicking! (View recent masterpieces like We Were @ + Strange roboTS). Powerful STuff!!
Additionally, there is a web page by Georges Kesseler of ULM. It details his interesting ST-history, which I thought was pure gold. I wonder if it was originally part of an older website? An intriguing read of great ST devs.

Page 6
Page 6 is a great slice of Atari history and has a website for the magazine. Their PD Library software is even available to download. I remember buying disks from Page 6 when I first became an Atari ST addict. Of course, their magazine had been going long before then and continued until 1998. True enthusiasts.
"Page 6 is remembered fondly by many Atari owners as a unique and invaluable resource, supporting enthusiasts in the heyday of Atari home computing" - I'd say that sums up Page 6 rather nicely!
