When I hate the ST :o
Some people seem to think I love every single Atari ST. (It's hard not too!)
Well, I don't. There are some stinkers out there and I think you might be shocked by one or two I picked
Yolanda is only one... Click here for the others: https://ataricrypt.blogspot.com/2018/03 ... -hate.html
Agree? Disagree? But what are your stinkers???
Re: When I hate the ST :o
I hate xenon, because I only ever once got off level 1
I think lemmings in some respects is a great game, but I mostly get stuck after a few levels anyway
I don't like super Huey, I could never get the thing to take off, and I never liked Hunter either as it was just running around everywhere and that was it to happen

Re: When I hate the ST :o
Lemmings also felt like a lame port to me but Xenon?? Come on mate, surely not!!
Then again, I never got off "sector one". Not back in the day anyhow, only did it once or maybe twice the other year. Didn't cheat, honest.

Re: When I hate the ST :o
Xenon is a iconic game for sure, great game, but I still hate it as I never got off level 1 Pretty much like any other game

Re: When I hate the ST :o
what was wrong with Lemmings? I loved that game and spent a lot of time with it.
friend of mine had amiga, and there only one thing was
The only objection was less fluent zoom out animation:
ST:
A500:
I was curious, why they did cut that amimation on the ST

Re: When I hate the ST :o
That's a very good question, maybe they chopped a few frames out of it to save space?
720k Atari disk vs 880k Amiga?
I mean it's quite a big picture, i'm assuming they used frames and not doing some zoom trickery on 1 picture since it's all a animation?
Edit: Watch the whole animation the ST one looks a bit laggy, is that because of a crap capture and YouTube, I don't remember it being that bad?
Re: When I hate the ST :o
720k vs 880k sounds reasonable

Re: When I hate the ST :o
Maybe for a bit of fun compare the 3 versions PC, Amiga, ST, im sure there was a Mac version anyhow, compare the disk images see how big the files are and stuff like that, might provide a answer, I can't see there being a lot of differanec between the Amiga & ST versions, I assume it would have been a straight port anyhow.
Wikipedia says it was a Amiga 1st then ported out to everything else and anything else

Re: When I hate the ST :o
Oh how many times I've gone to wiki for various gaming info only to be told that the game I'm playing on my ST only came out on machines like the Amiga /etc/etc lol
It's sad if Psygnosis kept to the bog-standard 720kb disk rather than using 10 sectors. There's no excuses. But then again, they usually always cut corners for the ST. Never liked 'em!
