Found this last night.



It's pretty hard, but I miss these types of games and keep coming back to it.

I remember that one, it was tough, but rewarding. Skulls was another that springs to mind, mostly the music. I loved games like that, that pushed a basic ST to the limit, I had a 2.5MB STFM back in those days.

I can't get past the 4th level. It needs a hack. :lol:

I seem to spend more time fixing things than playing with them... Monopoly was the first game I got into on the MegaSTE after I reinstalled the hard drive last month. Bloody addictive. I suck at shoot em ups, I used to be mediocre, now I'm just rubbish at it.

That's been me with both the PC and Atari :lol: Although in my defense I am making everything more reliable/stable.

I'm probably not that good but I like things where I don't have to think. Games are too thinky now. I got GTA5 for the PC and don't even do the missions. I just drive around like a nutter. :lol:

I can type listings on the 130XE in faster than the Xbox 1s can install. I still fall back on the MegaSTE for most games. The unmolested one, that is.

I have also been playing Dune on the CT2 Falcon a bit, that's quite frustratingly addictive.

Do you know if that run ok on a non-accelerated Falcon?
Used to play Dune on an old PC back in the day but would love to try it on my Falcon...

[atari030]

It will run, but like its like wading through treacle. I think it might be playable on a TT. It is a fair bit of eye candy for an Atari though.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Ah. OK...I might leave it for now then...and work out how I can accelerate my Falcon for a reasonable (i..e. relatively small) sum...can't afford a CT60 or anything like that. :(

I did get a Nemesis for it...but never had the time to fit it back in the 90s...might come to light at some point while sorting through all my old kit I suppose. :roll:
