Gunstar Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Yes, I've got a Virus on my ST...at least when I load it up, and it's Awsome!!! I'm refering to the game 'Virus' though... I got this game and have been playing it for a while now, the control is with a mouse and it is difficult, but it's very fun to learn! I'm getting the hang of it, but I haven't actually finished any levels yet, or even killed any enemies, but it's been fun just cruising around and crashing into stuff! It's kind of like a modern 'lunar lander' type game in 3D with really cool polygon graphics (considering the age of the game). I remember reading a review about this game eons ago in an Atari magazine, wishing i could pllay it, but alas, I only had an 8-bit back then. Now that I've got my 1040, I'm loving finally being able to try this game. A warning to you though if you don't have patience learning controls, this game is not for you. I personally think half the fun is just learning to fly the ship! I'll worry about actually accomplishing anything later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted October 5, 2002 Author Share Posted October 5, 2002 Speaking of St polygon games, what are some other good ones...I know about Damcles-the sequel to Mercenary on the 8-bit/ST, but As I recall, there were some others decent polygon games, I just don't remember what they are called...

Inky Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 A few of my favorites.. Empire Strikes Back Starglider 2 Archipelagos And I think I'm the only person who liked the ST version of Hard Drivin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 You can't forget the original STarGlider tho (even if it's just wireframe.. it's just poor mans polygons , I have the original and the novella was BRILLIANT, I must dig that out some time.. Oh and Interphase was very good too. And who could forget Cybercon 3 ? brilliant game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I really enjoyed "Let Sleeping Gods Lie". A weird mix of polygons and sprites. And how about Falcon!? A great flight sim, too bad I am hopeless at flying it though . What was "Skies of Arcadia" about? The name seems familiar, but I can't quite remember the game. And yes Inky, you are the only person who liked ST Hard Drivin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Not true. There are others who liked Hard Driving on the ST (We have formed a support group ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Not true. There are others who liked Hard Driving on the ST (We have formed a support group ). Ahh, so there's two of you . I for one was quite disappointed with Hard Driving. It was a car simulation slide show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I enjoyed HD also - Star Glider was awesome with the speech and music Falcon was also good - I spent plenty of time fly the 'friendly' skies back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh.. I forgot about Falcon. It's the only game I kept when I got rid of one of my two ST's.. Falcon kicks butt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Did anyone actually read all the manual that came with Falcon? I did like the way that on the easiest skill level you could park your plane inside the 'pyramids' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkoVitch Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I got to the 2nd level of difficulty and completed a few missions Could even land the thing without totalling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulsie Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 I thought Interphase was a pretty cool polygon game. Uh, that WAS a polygon game right? Or is my memory failing me... (I haven't played it in a while...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Yeah it was, very nicely done graphics. It had you flying around in a 3D representation of the security system, to help your girlfriend infiltrate the head quarters of the company that has got some nasty dreams stored in it's computers, that you want to get rid of (or something). Think they were putting evil messages in the dreams they were selling... anywho.. a damn fine game, (once you got into it)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
