SCREENSTAR

Super Cycle is one of the first games I ever played on my Atari ST. Seeing it again after so many years really brought back some great memories. I used to play this a lot with my little sister. I remember never being able to beat it. Now, almost 15 years later, I finished it in 20 minutes on the "easy" level.

PRESS RELEASE

Interview with Dma-Sc

October 16, 2019 by ST Graveyard

Dma-Sc is a nick that regularly pops up in the scene. In real life, this chip musician goes by the name of Mathieu Stempell. I met Mathieu at the STNICCC party in 2015 and while he is one of the most important Atari ST chiptuners of the past years, he has such a nice and down to earth personality. Check out the interview to learn more about his past and his future plans.

Interview with Reimund Dratwa - Ray .tSCc.

October 2, 2019 by ST Graveyard

Ray seems to be one of those guys who have done the impossible. In his case, it was converting the amazing id Software classic Wolfenstein 3D to the Atari ST. Everybody who has played this version on his humble ST will agree with me. And we had the chance to talk to the scener who is responsible for one of the coolest accomplishments in Atari ST gaming history.

New interview with Stefan Benz / Lotek Style

September 17, 2019 by ST Graveyard

If there is one man who has done his share of contributions to the Atari ST scene, it must be Stefan Benz. He is the founder of projects like Fading Twilight and Fujiology, main Atari ST archivist at demozoo.org, full time YM Rocker and member of The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Box scanning and buying originals!

September 13, 2019 by Marcer

In the last few months, I was lucky enough to borrow Krilar's complete originals collection, for dumping and box-scanning.

Now he has got into dumping and scanning too and he has supplied his own preservation dumps too. Many thanks mate!!

A big batch of rare menus on Stonish

July 4, 2019 by Brume

This is not directly related to Atari Legend but rather its small sister site, Stonish.net. We are really proud to announce we've recently imaged most of the Supremacy menus, which is probably one of the rarest collections ever made.

March 5, 2019 by ST Graveyard

INDEPTH REVIEWS

Live And Let Die

January 13, 2019 by ST Graveyard

Now all of this might sound a bit much, but that really is not the biggest problem with Live and Let Die. In Buggy Boy you had checkpoints to reach in time. In this game, they have taken it all a step further...or maybe better, a whole leap further. You see, you run out of fuel when moving forward. And you run out of it fast, way fast. To solve this problem, fuel pods are scattered all over the waterway. Grab them, and you win yourself some time. Miss them and run out of fuel and guess what ... YOU EXPLODE!

Lethal Weapon

December 28, 2018 by ST Graveyard

I don't know what it is exactly, but for a lot of us 80' kids, the Christmas holidays are in some strange way connected with Hollywood action films. During the 'most wonderful time of the year', I never watch any Santa Claus movies, no, I'm looking for stuff like Die Hard, or Gremlins. It is becoming a strange cliché, but I love it. And I'm not the only one. Kim Justice just did a great youtube video on the subject and he inspired me to do this review.

Frogs

December 4, 2018 by ST Graveyard

Frogs is made for multi-player madness. There is no real level system in the game, you may select whatever option or screen you like from the start. And while the game is nice as a 1 player game, it gets a bit boring rather quickly. The AI is splendid, a great accomplishment for Thomas, I'm sure. Still, maybe some kind of mission system or goal could have solved this. But in the end, that is NOT the point AT ALL.
