This is great fun to play. Of course there are better beat 'em ups these days, but "Barbarian" will always be special to me. One of the better fighting games of its era. If you're into this type of game, you should definitely check it out.

New browser-based offline disk toolbox available!

June 14, 2026 by muguk

To give this excellent tool its full name, it is the Atari ST Floppy Image Toolkit and it runs in your browser. All of the magical coding was done by Frederik Lindholm. It supports: *) Opening .ST, .MSA as well as these types of disk image inside .ZIP files up to 11 sectors per track. (Make sure there's only the disk image inside the .ZIP file otherwise there will be an error) *) Import and export .ST and .MSA formats. *) Create standard images (single or double-sided with 9 or 10 sectors per track) *) Extract a few files or the whole contents of the disk (in a .ZIP file) *) Shows if files are Hidden or Deleted (and with an option to recover deleted files if all parts are available) *) View and extract image data / pictures within the disks or any other files (Degas, Neochrome etc.) *) Unpack and examine executable files packed with known packers such as Ice, JAM and others with more packers in the pipeline to be added. *) View/extract text messages / hex dumps from the file(s). *) Look inside compressed archives that are on the disk (.ZIP, .LHA/.LZH, .ARC & .ZOO) I used the latest version of this tool on the Flame of Finland / Superior disk images to help me extract the scrolltexts for their entries in our little old Atari Legend database! For the above use case, I requested quite a few additional features for this program, some of which are already on the list above. There's more to follow including an anti-virus tool (a preview of it is situated in the simulated C: drive). Previously I'd used a combination of Total Commander (Windows tool) with the Jacknife plugin by GGN. I found this newer tool to be much easier to use when doing bulk jobs like this. (When the .PRG depack library is extended, I won't have to dive into STEem to depack files, then use WinHex to get the scrollers out!) To use it, save this link to your favourites. Believe me, if you mess around with any kind of Atari ST disk images, you'll love this new tool! Get it from here: https://flab.se/ataristimagegem/

Zone Warrior

February 12, 2023 by AtariCrypt

Once again, pesky aliens are giving us Earthlings lots of grief. We previously fought them off but they managed to pinch a time machine so are using that to alter history and wreak havoc by taking crucial hostages from each period in an attempt to halt their influence. From the invention of the wheel in prehistoric times to England's King Arthur uniting Britain! And where would any of us be today without Japan and its technical wizardry? Yep, we cannot allow this - the fight is on!

Son Shu Shi

March 21, 2021 by ST Graveyard

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.

Random interview

Lately, some great Atari-related books have been released for all of us fanatics. One of those titles is Atari : A Visual History from one of my favorite graphics artists, Darren Doyle. Although this book is not Atari ST related, it covers all there is to know about the Atari 8-bit. Knowing Darren's work I participated on the Kickstarter and boy, ever since the book arrived, I have been hooked. Darren is also responsible for the amazing digital magazines Atari Gamer and Atari ST Gamer. Recently he started a game publishing company called BitmapSoft. Read all about it in this in-depth interview.
