When I first started playing Parasol Stars, the gameplay felt very familiar - which is a good thing. However, it soon became clear that this game is actually Bubble Bobble on steroids. There is so much going on it makes your head spin. Baddies are flying over the screen, stages get constantly filled with bonus goodies, sometimes you just don't know where to look first, but you get used to it. After 2 sessions I had the feeling I was missing out on things and had to read the manual again before I could continue. And I find this a bit of a negative for a game of this kind. Simplicity should be key.

68000: Power Without the Price. Crowdfunding from 8-30 June 2024. A new exciting non-fiction book by Marco Breddin is in the making. This time we travel back to the split of Tramiel and Commodore, follow the founding of the Atari Corporation behind the scenes and explore what made Atari’s ST computer series so special. We speak exclusively with former Atari employees, a wide range of programmers and artists, and deliver a retrospective 400-page work with fresh thoughts, data, facts and stories about the 68000 computer revolution. “As one of two expansions to The Flame Wars, the next 68000 anniversary book provides a detailed account of the core competences of Atari's 16/32-bit ecosystem and reconstructs the evolution to market dominance in the 1980s. The competition for the only 68000 system characterised this home computer era like nothing else. We will turn back the clock, breathe in the golden silicon era and report first-hand as to what happened in the Atari labs before and after CES 1984.” If you are interested: please support the project!

This collection contains polished post-jam releases of some of the games that were entered in Punyjam #3, which was held in February of 2023. A jam means the authors have a limited time in which to finish their game, so the games often lack a bit of polish. The authors of the games in this collection all spent some time after the jam, reading through the feedback they got from the judges and improving their games, while also making sure their games run as smooth as possible on 8-bit platforms. The rules of the jam required all games to start in or next to an airlock. The authors came up with clever stories around this premise. You can download all seven of these adventures for your Atari ST (and all the other platforms) in a single 17MB .ZIP file from the Airlock website. They won't be added to the AL database just yet as we'd prefer you visit their website to appreciate the work by the various game authors.

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!

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.

From the ashes of demo team Aenigmatica, rose Synergy Software Development. This Dutch group, which included 12 talented individuals, released the Synergy Megademo, one of the best demos on the Atari ST from Dutch soil. And if that wasn't enough, they are also reponsible for the best Pac-Man clone on the system called Crapman. Today we speak to member Arnoud Kinderman/Wingleader, Tjeerd Bruinsma/MCA and Joris de Man/Scavenger about the good old days of the Atari ST demoscene.
