Uridium





C64 rulez

Do you remember the embarrassment of Uridium? The cruel C64 peeps laughing their socks off at our "superior" computer? Rightly so because we have a terrible port with sluggish controls and lifeless scrolling.

You shall be glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel for the Atari STe. Peter Putnik has fixed the dodgy parts with responsive controls and also the option to stream sampled music using the DMA coprocessor (hard drive or Ultrasatan required). At last, a version of Uridium we can be proud of.

Uridium has miraculously been transformed from a bummer into an exhilarating, fun shooter!!

Miss this at your peril - download now!!

Prince Of Persia





A 16-bit classic gets updated!

Prince of Persia is incredible, but today it receives an audio upgrade using the DMA coprocessor (to play the effects). They sound much cleaner and without any slowdown because the DMA is a coprocessor, working independently. This means that the gameplay is uninterrupted when playing the sounds.

All credit to PP over at 8BitChip. This is a pretty cool update for all Atari STe gamers :)

Download right now. Yes, now!!

Dungeon Master





Crawling with audio clarity

Peter Putnik has just updated Dungeon Master to use the Atari STe's DMA Audio hardware. This is huge news for fellow adventurers! Playback is much clearer, and this won't impact the computer's performance. Peter informs me that Chaos Strikes Back is next in line for the STe treatment - and I cannot wait!!

Download the new upgrade from 8BitChip.
