F-19 Stealth fighter The one I had had a bug in it where the fighter would flip on its back if you waggled the joystick too vigorously ... or is that built into the real thing due to its inherent inflight instability? Nebulus Another World The Secret of Money Island Sensible Soccer (Kick off suxxxx forever!!!) Xenon 2 Gods Speedball 2 Cruise for a corpse Cadaver Daleks (yay!

Volfield Stardust Sleepwalker Indiana jones 3 (the adventure) *Wets his pants at some of those* Makes me wanna dig out one of the STs but space now being taken up by my 8-bit gear again (hooray!!). Oh .. and there's: Midwinter Carrier Command Rainbow Islands (the BEST arcade conversion I've ever played on ANY system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You can score pretty much all Atari ST games over at TAT... then take a look at the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_ Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Time Bandit THE best ST game of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Typhoon Thompson was another really awesome game - I loved the small animation touches in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmeow Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Why do the Atari ST (and Amiga) games/joysticks only have one button?? This is so frustrating for gaming! Its like I love Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond, and it plays great on Apple II, but on the other computers, its so hard because of the one button joysticks. It seems like these advanced computers would have at least 2 button joysticks. Apple's weren't perfect, the entire 8/16 bit line, only had 1 joystick port, so that sucked for 2 player games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Why do the Atari ST (and Amiga) games/joysticks only have one button?? Why wasn't there an internal hard drive as standard on ST/Amigas? Why no VGA output? Why no PCMCIA? Why no true SCSI devices? Why no laser printer support out of the box? Why not Greek support out of the box? Why do the joystick ports reside on a weird place on ST? Why using the same case for Falcon? You got me, I can't answer any of these, including yours! Most probably economic issues though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Why not Greek support out of the box? I second that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadmeow Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 The lack of Greek support still gets me to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd like to have Greek support as well, just to be able to see what's so great about it that you want to have it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobogod Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 LOL We are all gone off-topic after that joystick question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you see the methods we use to have Greek in our machines, you wouldn't be surprised LOL We are all gone off-topic after that joystick question. Well, at least I did my bit and typed down some games, where's your excuse? Post your lists people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The STE supported sticks with not just two buttons but about 17. Hardly anone used them though. I guess for games that really required more than one fire button there was always the keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 OK here's my list, in a somewhat reversed chronological order. Roger Bold Chu chu rocket Ishar II messengers of doom Cannon Fodder Goal!

ggn Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Ultima This reminds me, have you tried grabbing the d-bug version of ultima 6, installing it to floppies and then copying them to hdd? I think it should work out of the box. As a matter of fact I'll try it right now EDIT just tried the d-bug version on my falcon and it seems to work a-ok Edited January 5, 2007 by ggn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
