Atari Legend Presents Willow

July 3, 2005 by Marcer

News illustration image We are proud to present to you an old classic for the Atari ST. Based on the movie with the same title, [b]Willow[/b] is a rare classic by Lucasfilm games. This game was, to my knowledge, never available on the well known compact discs. We, games hunters at Atari Legend, hope to keep the memory of this title alive by presenting it to you. You can find out more detail here. Make sure to post your experiences in the comments section of the game page.

Even though this is considered abandoneware by most, it is not our intention to dissatisfy the creators. So if anyone has anything against this release, let us know and it will be disabled.

Enjoy it.

Atari Legend presents Dungeon Master

July 3, 2005 by Marcer

News illustration image For those of you who haven't noticed it, we really have some crazy Dungeon Master freaks on the AL bandwagon. They recently uncovered the German (v1.2) and French (v1.3) versions of this game. So these are now available at this site. Even though this game isn't commercialy available anymore, this still isn't shareware. So if there are people who want this thing removed, please let us know and we'll do so. You'll find more info on both releases at our Dungeon Master page.

H2O finally released!

June 27, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image Sorry, a bit late to post this news. We weren't in town in the last few days. So, here is one the biggest news of the year: H2O, the mythic game for Falcon, has been released!
Here is what Protos and Xerus wrote about the game:

Everyone knows that, there were only a few games on Falcon030, some of them are prety rare and never go outside they onw contry.
To such an extent that many Falcon030 owners think about some of this games they never existed!
H2o from EKo in fact is one of them, it really exists, do you want a irrefutable proof?
Then go here: http://eko.planet-d.net
H2o is there and it's a EXCELLENT game, have a good fun with it Smile.
Do not hesitate to write your greetings to the team, especially if you enjoy this game, thanks for them!


So follow their advice and feel free to download the game on H2O/Eko website! Also don't miss the videos of the game and of course the guestbook.

Atari Legend Presents Dungeon Master 2 - Legend of Skulldeep

June 23, 2005 by Marcer

News illustration image Dungeon Master 2 - Legend of Skulldeep

Info:
This is as close as possible to the original Dungeon Master 2. I wasn't able to recreate some puzzles, but they are mostly replaced with my own versions. I didn't have maps for the cellars and caves so I have made them as I remembered (not well). Also items are mostly from memory.

The outside area is mapped closely, but it is not entirely accurate. I had to make some areas smaller and if you try to map it on paper, well, good luck. Some areas won't mach properly. Skulkeep itself is nearly 1:1. I had to fiddle a bit with stairs and such.

Shops work very different from DM2. When you enter you'll see the shop guard (stone golem in The Town, knights in the village) and a coin slot. Put a gold coin in slot and door opens. You can then browse the shop. To buy simply step into the same square as the item. You'll figure it out. (Oh, yes. The shop in the second village needs a blue gem).

The Town, clockwise: your house, the teleport room, armor shop, tavern, and weapon shop.

The 2nd Village: Tavern and equipment shop.

The Armorer sells a full plate set (two pieces per purchase), chain set and two full sets of clothes (elven and wizard). Tavern sells torches and food (and water). Weapon Shop has Axe, Sword, Mace of Order, Crossbow (& arrows). Put a coin in second slot and you can buy delta and diamond edge. The equipment shop has The Inquisitor, The Hardcleave and full Armor of Lyf on sale for one blue gem a piece.

You use the Mirror of Dawn to teleport at some tech eyes. Stairs work as usual. Ladders are substitued with teleporters. If wall behind the teleporter is marked with a dent then the teleporter is ladder. Upper dent means up and lower means down.

Ok, thats about it. If there's still something, I'm sure you'll figure it out :-)

Have fun!

Random review

Look, up there! It's a plane, it's a rocket...No, it's Super Man! eeerrrrr...Wrong scenario there...It's the almighty BOMB JACK !! Yeah, that's more like it. "Bomb Jack" is one of those good old arcade classic conversions. A game from the days when gameplay came first to graphical beauty!

Did you know?

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