Good vs Bad

April 23, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image Antago is a cute puzzle game where a little devil and an angel try to get five balls in a row on a board. It's a jazzed up variation of the old "Four Wins" theme.

You will probably already know or even have this game in your collection, but this version is the first one that includes the undamaged sampled loading tune! Only one of the various cracks available (the Empire one) did originally have this music, but as it wasn't in a file it got lost at some time when copied carelessly. All images of the Empire version that you can download today have horrible noise instead of the music.

Avenger cracked this game and put the music data into a file, so it won't get lost again when copied. The great intro on this disk has been designed by NoExtra once more.

Download this 100% version here.

No need to visit the pub...

News illustration image ... if you're in the mood for a round of darts.

Bully's Sporting Darts

will do the trick quite nicely too!

This is a very late commercial game for your Atari ST(E) machine, developed by "Alternative Software". Although being released by a major publisher, this game has remained a very rare and obscure title on the ST.

The original disk wasn't copy protected, so all that was left to do for us was to incorporate some fixes for machines with 4MB RAM or more and to get it working with TOS 2.x - which we did. The game can also be installed to your hard disk if you like.

You surely know where to download this game.

Finally, I'd like to send my best regards to all Atarians at AC 2006. We hope to give you some more releases on the occasion of this event. :-)

The fight against terrorism

April 21, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image Today we bring you a game that was available in French before, but not in its original English format:

Mayday Squad

Yes, the famous Replicants cracked this game many years ago, but their hack was based on the French version of the game. Some of the pictures were in English, but the more important text parts were incomprehensible for all those who didn't speak French.

So cb supplied his original disks to Avenger who cracked, filed, one-disked and trained the game!

Also watch out for the great new intro by our friends from NoExtra! It was coded by Zorro 2 and the superb graphics were drawn by Mister A.

All action fans will surely like to take a look here.

And watch this space for more releases coming your way soon. :-)

Two in one

April 19, 2006 by Klapauzius

News illustration image Well, we were going to give you another Easter egg, but somehow this one had been hiding from us during the holiday ;-)

Now that we have found it we are glad to present you another rare French game:

Staff X-29

Don't worry dear non-Frenchies, this game is in English!

The original disks were coupled with another game that you may already know from an Automation menu. It's called "Le Margoulin". You will find a trained version on our disk.

Avenger has cracked both games and Klapauzius has fixed them so the joystick control will work with any TOS and Staff won't crash on 4MB machines.

The original disks were supplied by our giga-terra-mega collector The Beast, who's also known to mere mortals under the name of Dungeon.Master.

Get both games on this page! And a belated Happy Easter to everyone!

Atari Connexion 2006 invitro

April 15, 2006 by Brume

News illustration image In one week the Atari Connexion 2006 will begin near Paris, France. Since it is probably the biggest Atarian event in France this year, the show deserved an invitro. So Orion_ coded it with the help of GT Turbo/Azrael. All graphics were painted by Orion_ and odie_one. Last but not least, the music has been composed by naPO. The tune brings a nice suprise at the end (that only french dudes can probably understand).

Grab the Atari Connexion 2006 invitro. The demo can also be downloaded under its file format on yAronet forum.

Better late than never...

News illustration image 19 years have passed since this French game was originally published. Now Atari Legend is very proud to bring you the first English version of

Qin

This is a nice adventure game that takes place in ancient China. Some weeks ago, a 100% version in French had been released by us. Now, after 3 weeks of translating and patching, the English version is ready!

Many thanks must go to all the mates who had helped to overcome the various obstacles - you will find their names in the intro scroller!

Hope you'll enjoy this 'new' game as much as I did hacking it (well, it was a pleasure for the most part ;-) ). And don't forget to vote on the forum if you would like to see more titles translated!

Ooops, nearly forgot the most important bit: the game is of course available for download on this page.

Random review

If there's one thing to come out of the eighties and early nineties, it's... well, okay, it's crappy Australian soap operas. But if there are two things to come out of the eighties and early nineties, they're crappy Australian soap operas and an overabundance of Pac-Man clones[1].

Did you know?

The name "Atari" comes from a move in the ancient game of Go, a favorite of founder Nolan Bushnell.
