1989 was the year I saw my first Bond movie at the cinema. I went with a friend, my nephew (who still is a major Bond fan to this day) and ... my mom. I was 9 years old, so I guess that's normal. The hype that went on prior to the movie being released was just incredible. MTV must have played the Gladys Knight video every single hour of the day. Why my ears never started to bleed is beyond me.August 14, 2018 by ST Graveyard
With Rainbow Islands Taito created something completely different, not my cup of tea. Parasol Stars takes the ideas of Bubble Bobble and added some extra flavour. And although still a very good game, I feel they overcooked it all a bit. It has become a bit of a nervous experience and while not rocket science, it lost some of its simplicity and charm.August 7, 2018 by ST Graveyard
What might be news however, is that Anarcho Ride isn't a racing game at all. You see, Thomas does not consider himself to be a good programmer (I'm sure most of you will disagree when you look at this game), and he knew his game could not measure up to the true commercial racing games on the ST. But instead of giving up, he shuffled the cards. He starting thinking out of the box and came up with a completely crazy idea turning this into an interesting title. Thomas managed to turn a weakness into a strength. You wanna know how? Read on ... July 1, 2018 by ST Graveyard
The first few levels are a breeze, with difficulty increasing gradually. After the first level, the barrels will roll faster, Donkey Kong throws more bananas, wind effects will make your life miserable... That kind of stuff. By level 6 you really want to grab a banana and shove it up that ape's *ss. Believe me, this game becomes frustratingly difficult. A real challenge. To boost your score, there are also bonus items scattered around the level. June 23, 2018 by ST Graveyard
I don't really know how they pulled it off, but Escape 2042 almost looks like one of those Indie games we have today on our consoles. The animation of the main character, albeit small, is very nicely done and when there is horizontal scrolling happening, it is super smooth. The levels feature a nice array of colors and each world looks very different than the other. Between levels we have short cutscenes explaining bits and pieces as the story unfolds. I'm actually very impressed by the quality of it all.
Doodlebug is one of my all time favorite platform games on the Atari ST. A little known game, which for me is a hidden gem. Its creator Adrian Cummings, an Amiga developer, tells his intriguing story of ups and downs, and shares a lot of details in the making of this beautiful game.

Read interview of Adrian CummingsWhat does ST stand for? Some people believe it is an abbreviation of "Sam Tramiel", head of Atari. Others say it is short for "16 32", cause the ST was the first in a line of 16 - 32 bit computers by Atari!
