As mentioned above, Crystal Castles is a 3D Pac man game. As Bentley, It's your job to collect all the gems in a level, while avoiding all the nasties that guard them. You have the ability to jump, making you unreachable for the enemy! Or you can catch them while they're eating your precious gems. If you manage to do this for all the levels in the 10 worlds, you'll be rewarded with a happy ending to the story. November 13, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Most of you might already be bored to death by reading all of this, but you actually have to play this game to know what I'm talking about. Buggy Boy is a big winner when it comes to gameplay! It's very easy to learn. The joystick is used for controlling the car and the fire button switches between low and high gear. And that's about it! Controls are pretty accurate. Though it is still very frustrating to drive past a bridge! The game actually manages to give you a feeling of speed, but this also has a downside ...

In 1981, a man named Kevin Toms programmed a small game on a Tandy TRS80 , all by himself, and called it "Football Manager". It was, to my knowledge, the first sports management simulator ever, and a good one too. He converted it to run on a Spectrum 48k, and started selling it, with enormous success. He founded his company, Addictive, and year after year he released more Football Management simulations... until 1990, when he came out with "Football Manager: World Cup Edition". This game was mercifully spared by the critics after his first release. Now, 11 years after, it' s time to bring some justice...November 4, 2001 by ST Graveyard
n 1990, a guy named Manfred Trenz, created a game called "Turrican" for the Commodore 64. He introduced us to a new type of game within the platform genre, the jump 'n run/shoot 'em up. The game was an instant success and was immediately converted to the Atari ST and Amiga. In Turrican you were a lone warrior packed in an armor suite on to save the world. The game featured some breath-taking graphics and sound, but most importantly, fast, adrenaline pumping action! So, as always, it wouldn't take long for a sequel to arrive! Only 1 year, to be exactly...November 3, 2001 by ST Graveyard
Return to Genesis is the one game I was never able to play on my Atari STe. Don't ask me why, probably a faulty disc. Too bad, cause it's a great game. Created by Pete Lyon and Steve Bak ("The Dream Team"
, this game could be called the true follow up to "Goldrunnner". All the features that made "Goldrunner" so cool are implemented, together with some new touches to create a completely different gaming experience. But is it as fun as it's predecessor? let's find out! 
Tord Jansson was one of the programmers at the amazing Unique Developments Sweden. He helped to create 2 of the most iconic games during the final years of the ST's lifespan, Obsession and Substation. Tord was a member of UDS from the very beginning, up until its demise. During the years, Tord did not only work on ST games, he was also programmer and project lead on numerous other big budget titles for many systems. You want to learn more about the history of the company that pushed the boundaries of the STe? Or ever wondered who created the fastest tracker player in the ST demo scene? Look no further...

Read interview of Tord JanssonIn 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!
