Wings of Death
April 4, 2002 by ST Graveyard
Thalion are known for their awesome software. They're responsible for "Enchanted Land", by some considered to be the best platform game on the ST. One of their last efforts was "No second Prize", a fast 3D cycle sim. Their software products made your ST(e) sweat, getting everything that was possible out of the machine. And "Wings of Death" is no exception... as you would expect from some of the best demo-coders on the Atari ST(e).Read the review of Wings of Death
Beyond the Ice Palace
March 31, 2002 by ST Graveyard
I think "Beyond the Ice Palace" can be considered as the mother of the jump 'n' run genre. This very old classic was some sort of follow up to the legendary "Ghosts 'n' Goblins". It's the first decent platformer released for the ST. This game was in the first batch of games I played on the ST when I was a kid. And it was one of the few I was scared to play. Now, when playing it again after so long, I understand why. It's nerve wreckin! The story is the usual. The balance between good and evil has been disturbed and it's your job to get rid of the evil demons and save the people of the forest! Stupid story? Who cares?Read the review of Beyond the Ice Palace
Maupiti Island

Right from the beginning, you' re gonna be impressed with the incredible amount of things you can do in this game. Detective Lange can interact with objects in many ways; he can even smell them, or feel their surface with his fingertips. He can collect a whole load of items in his inventory, and sometimes it' s hard to tell an useful one from a dead weight in his pockets. He can talk with everyone on the island, and ask questions about everything and everyone. He can even memorize what they say, and contradict liars...Read the review of Maupiti Island
Pipe Dream
February 10, 2002 by Lorenzo
Simple and addictive. Your goal is to let a green liquid flow around in a grid through a series of pipes; as you go on, things get increasingly difficult, the liquid flows faster and you' ll have to build longer pipeworks in order to go on to the next level; some pieces of pipe allow the liquid to flow on only one direction, some parts of the grid are broken, and stuff like that...Read the review of Pipe Dream
Zool
January 27, 2002 by ST Graveyard
So, is "Zool" a "Sonic" beater? Definitely NOT! If you want to play "Sonic", you have to buy a Sega (or download an emulator). "Zool" is a great game, but not as good as "Sonic" IMO. But that doesn't change the fact that it is one of the best, most colorful and fastest platformers for your ST! I prefer "Fire and Ice", but if you're looking for fast action, "Zool" is your game!

In the 80s, France produced a huge number of games for the Atari ST, some pretty mediocre, others very successful. Eric Safar's games belong to the second category. Eric participated in titles such as Ranx or Les Portes du Temps on the Atari, before going to Cryo to work on MegaRace... But he's also the author of an adventure game that became a real hit: Atlantis. Today, Eric is still passionate and continues to develop games for our old machines. After releasing Athanor 1 a few years ago for 8 bit machines, he is about to release Athanor 2 on the Atari ST. Let's give him the chance to tell us his story in great detail. Be ready for one of the most captivating interviews on this site!
