I've seen the announcement for the patch a day which is really great news.

I just wanted to thank you for getting this together.

A big thank you from me as well!

Although The Sentinel never was my personal favourite, it is a classic ST game that deserved a proper HD patch.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming calendar and it is good to see that the ULS consortium is not dead :)

Great patches! I never did finish Seymour Goes to Hollywood all those years ago, I need to try it again, I'm older and wiser(??) now� ;D

I've just read Klaz's cool story about Battlezone, an emulation of a 6502 arcade machine no less.

Cool stuffs indeed, I must get on with some downloading. Cheers again. 8-)

Hi CiH,

actually it's only the game flow that was computed on the 6502 in the original arcade. GGN told me the arcade machine was also using custom processors for the 3D graphics and these are of course not emulated in the ST version.

The graphics differ anyway, bitmap backgrounds on the ST, etc. :)

Cheers for the extra info Klaz.

Still, pretty damn cool how it was made.
