Atari STe games [part two]

Making use of that enhanced hardware!

I'm sure you were expecting this video :@) I've put together a second recording that features even more Atari STe games from the Crypt archives. Once again, just a few seconds of each is shown accompanied by the same groovy background tune by Tomchi. Greetings to all my fellow STe Nutters out there!

Let's check 'em out

 + Uridium - Peter has performed his usual magic and transformed this old clunky shooter into a beauty.
 + Operation Garfield - I dare you not to laugh at this silly shoot 'em up!
 + Zool - Good on the ST and even better on the STe. Different to Sonic and fun for a few hours.

  

 + Giana Sisters - This is what the original should have been like all along! One of the best-enhanced games.
 + Chronicles of Omega - More colours on the STf but smooth as silk on the STe and with DMA audio.
 + Substation - Doom for the ST? Well, no it's very different but it's still a BRILLIANT fps game.

  

 + Stardust - Now we're talking, play this Asteroids and tell me it's not mind-blowing. Superb shooter!!
 + Heartland 2000 - An Easter Egg with legs but look how smoooooth it runs!!
 + Zero-5 - The STe goes all Star Wars on us and it's utterly brilliant too. What a cracking game this is.

  

 + Pac Mania - The original was good but this blows it out of the water!!
 + R-Type Deluxe - Good old Bod did us proud right until the end. I miss him and thank him for the pics.
 + Team - I ain't a soccer fan but check out this in overscan. Wow!!

  

 + Sliders - Looks weird, scrolls like silk, but can you play it? One odd game this. Very odd...
 + Obsession - Best pinball game on any ST? Very possibly because this is a jaw-dropper Christmas cracker!

  

Atari STe games [part one]

Let's get ready to rumble!

I've put together a video recording of 14 Atari STe games. Of course, this isn't complete because there are more games. In the interest of keeping things short and sweet, my video shows a few seconds from each game. With a groovy background tune by Tomchi, which is just gorgeous! I hope you enjoy my humble presentation?

Come on, man! Get to the games...

 + Bombaman - Everyone loves Bomberman and this is a Christmas cracker we both loved.
 + Escape 2042 - I bought this and so should you. This is incredible. Frustratingly incredible :)
 + Pacman On E's - The little yellow fella pops ecstasy pills for a furious take on the classic!

  

 + Alien Blast - Skip by those old bugs to enjoy a tremendous Alien-infested shoot 'em up.
 + Death Chase - Quite possibly one of the best games I have ever played. Pure gold this one, folks!
 + Ultimate Arena - Punch like Chuck Norris and kick like Bruce Lee in this beat 'em up.

  

 + Pole Position - A near arcade-perfect conversion of one of the best racers ever. It is superb.
 + PouifOuf - Those graphics might look familiar but the gameplay is furiously different - Wow!!
 + Top Banana - The graphics make your eyes bleed and the sounds are... different... but it's weirdly good.

  

 + Crackman/Dealer - A different twist on the old pill popper and something you will love instantly love.
 + Whitewater Madness - Ignore the demo that's been around for years. Play the full version - an AtariCrypt first!

 + Roger - The STe shows us exactly what it's capable of and Spot shines for a truly superb game.

  

 + Jinks - Something my mind cannot fathom and PP totally destroys that jerky STf original.
 + R0X - Zoom through the heavens, scaping giant rocks, all for a massive arcade adrenalin rush!

  

Volume 3: Return Of The Borders!

Return of the... book

How time flies, it was only last October that I remember giving Marco's planned project a Crypt-push and today (YES) it became a reality. After several days of resentfully watching many ST nutters flaunt their Trilogy collection, I finally have my own copy!! Yup, this morning I received that familiar brown parcel which I excitedly opened.

I've just had a flick through and love what I've read so far, I'm sure to enjoy reading it properly over the coming weekend. If anyone missed out on the support & funding of this project, then don't despair because you can still purchase any or all three volumes. My gratitude goes out to Marco and everyone involved in this hiSToric achievement!!

And you thought this book was just about demos? Yeah, it's Jeff Minter!!



Stardust is one of the best 16-bit games ever released and a divine Atari STe release.

Say hello to Jan, one of our amazing Patreons!! Hello Milhouse :-)



Iron Soldier is outstanding, what a game that was/is. I wish I still had my copy...

I love Scavenger so I'm really looking forward to reading this interview.



I cannot afford one but that doesn't stop me from loving the Atari Falcon!
