When Sega released its Master System, it came bundled with the game Alex Kid. To this day the game remains very popular, loved by many. One of those people is Terry Lloyd. More so, Alex Kid was the main inspiration for the Atari ST platform classic Axel's Magic Hammer. But that is just one of his many accomplishments. Terry has been around the block. Working as an artist and game designer at the beginning of the 80's for Gremlin Graphics, he then moved on to Core Design, which he helped get off the ground. During the 90's he contributed to founding the company Malibu Interactive. On the Atari ST, Terry's resumé include Dynamite Dux, Car-Vup, Rick Dangerous 1 & 2, Torvak the Warrior, WarZone and many more.

Aengus Jankowsky was the founder of the group Gravatics. Although he was never a coder or hacker, his menus were simply a way for him to save disk space by compressing commonly used programs.

Gravatics was the only menu disk series from Ireland to ever make its mark on our beloved Atari ST. Learn more about this fascinating chapter in Atari ST history in the interview that follows.

A few years ago, I watched an incredible documentary about Mortal Kombat. It took me right back to the days of playing The Ultimate Arena on my STe, and it got me thinking—was this Atari game really made with live actors? No, that couldn't be… or could it? So, I began searching for the elusive creator of the game, known only by the initials T.R. Buz. After three years of searching, I finally found the man himself. I had a boatload of questions. This interview may seem a bit chaotic, as the exchanges between Théo and me spanned several weeks, but I didn’t want any details to be lost to time. So, I’ve shared everything. Read on for the full story behind the making of the only Mortal Kombat clone on the Atari in this extensive interview!
