Something about Terramex screams "Budget game". The presentation is typically adequate and no more, and the gameplay, while entertaining enough, isn't particularly epic. The selection of five characters more or less serves as a gimmick, the choice affecting nothing other than the player sprite and the solution to a single room in the game.March 15, 2005 by indigo
Imagine 'SIM Music Manager' where you as the player are given the task of taking on some of the biggest names in popular music and overseeing their rise to the top. With names slightly altered to protect the developer from a law suit, the game features Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue parodies and a host of other eighties personalities.

Unlike the games that had gone before it, Sierra had included a mouse movement system and a new improved Parser interface (allowing nearly all words to be understood by the game). The quality of the graphics for the time was unmatched and the game won a prestigious 'Best Adventure of the Year' award in 1989.March 9, 2005 by indigo
Imagine waking in a cell which to your delight is momentarily unlocked, outside an alien planet- full of wonderful cities to explore. But how do you get to them? Walking or running would take hours- luckily this culture has introduced the useful idea of public transport. Taking a taxi to the spaceport lets you take in the sights while the driver happily gives you a quick insight into the local and system-wide news. Finally arriving at your destination, you sit in the space shuttle cockpit behind the pilot and watch nervously as you blast off into space, and then you think- I did all that in the five minutes?

We have all seen top-down shoot-em-ups before. But presented with the choice of having your character aided either by lets say- your best mate or directly controlled by the computer AI, the co-operative nature of the game was at the time unsurpassed. What also made this game unique was the scale of the playing area, while exploring a single level it could take you hours to eventually find all the secrets- a tribute to the deviousness of its creators. 
About 2 years ago, while I was busy working on this new version of Atari Legend, Alan Garrison Tomkins all of a sudden became a member of the Atari ST group on Facebook. I had never heard of him before, but the amount of historical info he was sharing regarding the ST game scene, was simply staggering. Alan was a pixelartist at the peak of the 16bit era and has worked for Probe, Mirrorsoft and later on for Eidos (working on the first model of Tomb Raider's Lara Croft!) and other companies. At that moment I knew I had to do something with all of this and I asked him if he would be up for an interview when the new site would be ready. Little did I know that would take another 2 years. Finally this month I contacted Alan again and here we have the result. If you wonder what life was like as an 80’s pixelartist, please read on…
