Arkanoid 2 - Revenge of Doh
December 23, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Although the genre has been milked to death, you really gotta try Arkanoid 2. It's even better than its predecessor. The power-ups are a load of fun! This is without a doubt the best break-out game for the Atari ST...But it's also the most difficult! Draw!Read the review of Arkanoid 2 - Revenge of Doh
Vroom
December 14, 2001 by ST Graveyard
All of this might sound really dull, but what makes this game so amazing is the feeling of speed it creates. Never have a felt this before in a game. The scenery flies by at 50 frames a second! Racing through narrow sections and tunnels makes your heart pump faster. Driving on a hill at 200MPH, without knowing what to expect when you reach the top, is even a bit scary! It's a rush and a real test for your reflexes! Read the review of Vroom
Adventures of Robin Hood, The
December 5, 2001 by Lorenzo
The IA is quite good. Each computer controlled character has his own business to take care of, and each one has his own feelings towards you and the normans, that' s why a good popularity is so important in this game. The combat system, instead, could have been improved; you can only shoot arrows in front of you or fight with your sword, but once you' ve engaged a fight there' s little you can do to control Robin; either kill, get killed or run away as fast as you can...Read the review of Adventures of Robin Hood, The
Crazy Cars 3
November 27, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Your heart is pounding like hell. It feels as if it's gonna explode within seconds. Sweat is dripping of your face. In the background you hear those annoying sirens. You're completely focussed on the road, as the local cars fly by. You push the pedal to the metal...272 km/h...There, in the distance, is your opponent. You just gotta beat him, or he's gonna take all your money. But those damn cops. You just can't seem to shake them. They're coming closer and closer. Shhhhrrriiiieeekkk...They're trying to push you to the side. More damage inflicted on your precious Lamborghini. And all of a sudden... Bbbbaaaaammm...Read the review of Crazy Cars 3
Cloud Kingdoms
November 24, 2001 by Lorenzo
Probably one of the most underrated games in history, Cloud Kingdoms was by far my favourite C64 game, and one of the best platform games I've ever seen. The ST version doesn' t look as good as the C64 one, but it' s still very playable and addictive, and it also features a few more levels. Definitely worth a try.Read the review of Cloud Kingdoms
In 1993, 2 demosceners finished their first game, as an answer to the Amiga hype that was Turboraketti. Utopos became one of the most successful shareware titles on the Atari STe. And now, almost 30 years later, creator Jani Penttinen is working on a remake of the game for the Atari VCS system. If you want to learn more about history of Utopos, the demo scene and the game industry from the good old days, read on!

"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
