The Magnetic Fields' classic Lotus Turbo Challenge was recently enhanced and released for the Atari STe. This has taken the scene by storm and even impressed the Amiga community. This version of the game was programmed by Jonathan Thomas, with the help of Jamie Hamshere. Jonathan had done a similar thing in the past with the release of Pole Position STe, and Jamie did a great update on the classic Droid. But today we are talking Lotus and as a complete coding NOOB I tried to ask deep technical questions ;-) If you are interested in the making of this amazing release, look no further...April 14, 2021 by Brume
Today, we had the chance to talk to Orion, the second person we interview from the famous Replicants group. But there is more, Sébastien was also a member of Fuzion. These days he is very active in the scene and lately he was responsible for releasing the obscure Son Shu Shi, a game thought to be lost in time. If you want to learn more about the French cracking scene in its hay days, this is something for you.March 27, 2021 by Brume
Son Shu Shi is an obscure platform game that was thought to be lost in time. The ST scene only had a corrupt version. Until today. With the imminent release of this classic it was time to get in touch with its creators and test their memory. This is a tale of two Belgian brothers who got bored of constantly playing games, so they switched sides and started creating them. And luckily for us, their machine of preference was the Atari ST.June 24, 2020 by ST Graveyard
The Atari ST scene doesn't pay much attention to the more serious side of things, and that is a shame, because some really amazing business applications have their roots on the ST. In Germany, that ST was mainly sold as a business machine to begin with. A few weeks ago, I met Frank Schoonjans in the Atari ST Facebook group. Frank created the spreadsheet 3D-Calc on the Atari ST. This program was added to the 'Atari business pack', a software bundle by Atari BENELUX, together with That's Write and 'Astodat IV'. Globally, the program was distributed by Michtron.

These days with social media, it is so easy to get in touch with almost anyone. And when I saw the name David Walters pop up on my Twitter feed, I instantly knew who he was. David created one of the most infamous FPS games on the Atari ST. Hellgate has gotten a lot of hate and praise at the same time over the years. This game might seem a bit slow compared to Wolfenstein or Substation, but taking into account it was programmed in STOS, you can't deny the accomplishment that was made.

MoreIn the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
