Must play games

Post by AtariCrypt »

Gaming seems rather quiet on this techie forum! So let's dumb it down a bit with a games page that I created. This lists many ST games that I think are "Must Plays". However, it's NOT the usual list of Dungeon Master, Gauntlet, Oids, Xenon, Speedball, etc., etc., etc., etc., that you've probably read from many 'experts' out there. No, these are games that might have slipped by you, or maybe you've forgotten. So, check it out and let me know if you are gonna try any: https://ataricrypt.blogspot.com/p/must-plays.html (oh, it's a WIP. I'll add games as and when I think they're worthy)

That's it, the ST has a bucketload of games doesn't it. Some killers... but I didn't want to include games like Vroom, Zynaps, etc as everyone probably knows about them. But it's interesting you picked Starquake. I love that, really good version of the Speccy original :)

Venus the fly trap. So much swearing when you flip orientation and fall upwards off the screen ceiling to your death...

Don't really recall that but i remember it being a pain when the controls reversed. That does my brain in!

I love Venus the Flytrap. Great animations and that soundtrack - really cool, IMHO.

Never got very far in it, but always enjoyed playing it. :)

All good games by all, but perhaps I should have been clearer in my OP?
Sry, it was a list of games people might not know about or miss without ever playing. Rather than the usual run of the usual commercial titles.
Anyhow, elterwater - Wolfchild, really? Wow :dizzy:

I sooo wished they had released a track editor. Maybe as A. I. Advances it can figure it out. I did manage to decompile STOS loader with AI but that wasn't large and took some doing. But maybe in a year or 2 it will get better.
