1.44KB you say? Mate, that must be the smallest disk drive known to man!  The rest of us lucky atarians were fortunate to use 360 or 720KB+ floppies!  

Anyway... As for my favourites I'd have to say Oids, Xenon (not Xenon II), Wicked, Backlash (I still prefer this to the uber-rare Encounter), Nebulus, Puzznic, Wizzball, Paradroid 90, Rainbow Islands and all the more-recent Resevoir Gods/Paradize games too.  There are loads more, and one of the things I love about D-Bug's fix packs is that there's always something new I haven't played before - Quartz and Return To Genesis have been particularly enjoyable surprises.

Good point GGN, you've got me thinking now though...  What games, in D-Bug's opinion, really pushed the 16 Bit atari to it's limits?

No Second Prize?  Zero-5?  Stardust?  They're my suggestions...

Oh yeah - of course.

I have to admit that I've never quite got my head around Virus though - the limited field of view and control method result in the game being a little too awkward for me.

D-Bug already did G2 :>
Dunno the number but was the menu released at Outline 2007.

Hehe, I agree  But it houldn't impose a problem 

I´d say it was Lethal Xcess. Enhancements for every hardware available, tons of sprites, superb music, excellent graphics...for me the best ST game ever!

I am surprised that the most OBVIOUS of game collections has not been mentioned.
Who here has not played a version of SOLITAIRE from Hoyles 1 or Hoyles 2?

Also a great strategy game called ANTAGO which is virtually unknown. (Devil VS. ANGEL)
I think that it is French in origin. I come back to this one frequently.

There are so many that have merit, such as ATARI games "9-LIVES" with cute graphics, great music
and superb platform puzzle playability.
MS.PACMAN and the SUPER SPACE INVADERS kicks ass for frantic actiion and speed.

I also like BLOCKOUT which is a 3D take on the old game of pong. It has an addictive nature and
fast gameplay.

GOBLINS 2 is just a hoot and has brain teasing puzzlers as well as comic action. You get to choose
between characters and try to make them work together.

For sheer graphic beauty, GUY SPY has that quality cartoon appearance and digital sound.
I have DRAGONS LAIR 1,2,3, and 4 and love the look. Game play is something of a  joke though.
I cannot say how 3 and 4 play since they are still sealed in cellophane.

Oh yeah - I remember that one.  Fantastic 3D engine.  As I only had a cracked copy (and no manual) I never knew what I was supposed to do in it though...

This Topic was moved here from Random Access [move by] ggn.

Better than SOTB in any rate though

I didn't know the Jaguar coloured glasses came in Atari ST flavour as well.  You, sir, are an idiot

other games good on ST :

Prehistorik
Prophecy the viking child
shadow warriors
Prince de perse
Monkey Island
Loom
Croisiere pour un cadavre (cruise for a corpse)
Future wars
Operation Stealth
Twinworld
Navy Moves
Wings of Death
New zealand Story
Super Wonderboy in monsterland
Enchanted lands

I vote for flashback on the ST. Oh wait, that's not out as well. Pity...

(of course I can play it on my Falcon, and soon on the Jag)
