A lost game by Starbyte

May 28, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image Today we present you another very rare title for your collection:

Soccer Manager Plus

This game was somewhat more common on the Amiga, from which it was ported, but had remained a very obscure title on the ST. Only a very few die-hard collectors had this game in their collection and to the best of my knowledge it had never been cracked - until now!

The protection was removed by Klapauzius. We have also added the option to activate a built-in cheat menu to make your life easier, and made the game STE compatible.

The original was supplied by Alex of ICS, the colourful intro was coded by Jace of ST Knights.

And there's another first for us! When you run this game from your hard disk it will use routines from D-Bug's brillant ULS. Thanks must go to Cyrano Jones and Showaddywaddy for this great invention!

Just click here to grab this game ... and have a nice Sunday!

Dungeon Master v1.2 English

May 27, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image We're back again! :-)

Here's another piece in the puzzle of the Dungeon Master universe:

Dungeon Master v1.2 English

It was cracked, multi-trained and fully playtested by our great member and Dungeon Master specialist Avenger. The original disks were supplied by Kenneth Bazan. The beautiful intro for this release was coded by Zorro 2 of NoExtra.

Well, yet another version of one of the most famous games on the Atari ST. I think all the many Dungeon Master fans out there will be happy to see it. We should be near completion in the Dungeon Master series now.

Click here to download this new version.

Also stay tuned for one more goodie coming this weekend! See you soon...

A big thanks to our friend The U-Man!

May 9, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image Last weekend was a great rush for us! While Mug UK was at the Charity 2006 gig that featured Benn Daglish, I drove down to Saint-Avold (near Metz, in France) in order to pick up a Falcon 030 with a hard-drive, a lot of floppy disks (more than 500 of them!) and an impressive pile of magazines... I still haven't counted them, but there are at least 400 magazines devoted to the Atari ST and other machines!

The best thanks go to The U-Man who sold me the Falcon for a very nice price, and gave me the magazines for free. It was a real pleasure to meet him Smiley

The Falcon is a pretty good addition to our library of machines (we still got some, but we want to upgrade this one as much as possible in order to test latest releases). Who said Atari Legend will stay a 16-bit only team?

In the magazines there are many rare ones such as Arcades or Faucontact (in French). Also some German and English magazines

Of course, we'll do our best to scan them and offer them to our mates over at: abandonware-magazines.org.

Lastly, The U-Man was in contact with a member of The Avengers - known for their Gateway To Hexenland megademo. He managed to get some unreleased stuff by the crew, for both the ST and Falcon. We are currently sorting them out and imaging the disks, so expect a release of them as soon as we obtain an agreement to spread them Smiley

We're still alive...

May 5, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image Nothing new since April, 26th 2006? Well, not really. We are very busy at the moment because we recently received tons of rare games from a new contributor in Belgium (nickname: shadow!). We are sorting them out and adding them to the database, which takes a long time. You can be sure we'll announce them as soon as they are available for download!

At the same time, we finally updated the page of... Chimera!

This is one of the rarest games ever made since only 400 copies were produced. Please note that it has never been hacked, either. Do the new screenshoots on the site mean we finally managed to get a copy? Well, maybe yes, maybe not Smiley

Lastly, we are still working on the translation of games. We also have many interviews in the pipeline that will be very interesting but need to be translated, too.

And many more hacks, patchs and trainers will follow shortly. So who said we aren't alive anymore...?

Le Manoir Du Comte Frozarda

April 26, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image One of the first hackers on Atari ST was Tsunoo Rhilty. The guy was famous for his cracks, but also for his trouble with the law. He also worked for Atari ST developers/companies by coding file & disk protection systems.

Le Manoir Du Comte Frozarda belongs to this category of game by featuring protection by an ex-cracker.

So it was a nice challenge for our own cracker, Klapauzius. He hacked the game two years ago, but we never managed to find the time to release it on the site... until today!

Klapauzius also packed the game so it fits on one disk now and patched it to make it compatible with 4MB machines. The whole thing works like a charm now. This game is probably one of the rarest titles we ever provide.

Hope you'll enjoy this new release. Feel free to take a look at Le Manoir Du Comte Frozarda before going to sleep ... but try to have a nice dream!

At last Rody & Mastico 5 isn't missing anymore!

April 24, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image Back from the Atari Connexion 2006! It was a real pleasure to go there. The party gave the opportunity to meet finally good old friends such as Lotek Style (TSCC), Frost & Dma-Sc (Sector One), Zorro2 (NoExtra), Cooper (Paradize), Atari STE, etc.
We played to the next TSCC game on Falcon which supports 8 players at the same time, we saw the JagCF, some challenges were organized, etc. Also people at the party saw a preview of the next version of Atari Legend... oups... can't say anymore Smiley

So, back from the party with another rare stuff! The game is Rody & Mastico V. Guess what? We now have online the complete serie of Rody & Mastico! You won't find that anywhere else at the moment.

The original disk was supplied by Dungeon.Master (aka the man who lives in a flat full of games!). The protection was so easy to remove that it was hacked by your servant. Last but not least, a big thanks must be given to Bigfoot/MJJ Prod who sent the intro long time ago. Please note that all Lankhor games are provided on the site with the permission of Jean-Luc Langlois who created and managed the company.

Follow this link to grab Rody Mastico V. And hope to see you all at the next Atari party!

Random review

Let me start by saying that if you're looking for a super realistic simulation, you'd be better off with "Formula One World Championship" by Microprose! If, however, you are looking for some serious speed and want to see the scrolling capabilities of your ST, then you gotta try this baby!

Did you know?

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
