  1. Ahhh System 3.....

    Last Ninja coming soon on Atari 130XE said the magazine advert-yeah right (though i've since uncovered more on that story), then the reboot which was to appear on Dreamcast, PS2, PSP (formats seemened to change by the month), again, nothing.
    They even told a friend of mine that Myth did get a release on the Atari ST, when he was researching his article for RetroGamer magazine, had to 'correct' that snippet to him via pm after reading said article, closest it got was demo on ZERO magazine.

  2. @Popmilo:Very early issues of Zzap64 were pro-Atari in places.You had quotes from coders/publishers saying how powerful A8 range were, how they never understood why they failed to take off in UK etc, plus Zzap 64 used the A8 version of: Bounty Bob Strikes Back for the C64 review (made it clear it was A8 version mind).

    Then you had Archer saying just how superior the A8 version of Dropzone was, Ballblazer coders bigging up the A8 range, Jazza saying how much better A8 Elktraglide was.
    I've tried to get similar message across in artices i've researched.

  3. Not a coder, nor touched a real A8 in years, but i do try and follow the homebrew stuff best i can and just loving the look (and sound) of this.

    I've a lot of respect for those who jump straight in and get coding, like you've done here and wish you the very best with this project.
    I too, would personally prefer, fewer update video's, with bigger jumps in progress, if that helps. :-)

  4. Hand a slight hand in this myself (you can 'blame' me for the Lost games/8-Bit triva, A8 Piracy and Atari Computers In Europe articles), done my humble best to do my research and basically get stuff out there, which i've yet to see covered in likes of Gamestm or Retro Gamer and try and paint various apects of the A8 in a new light.

     

    I'm no Atari Expert, nor jurno.etc, just trying to give something back to the A8 community.Well aware of this site's ahem, history with a 'fellow writer'...but hope that's all in the past and your happy for discussion to take place on here regarding the magazine.

     

    Basically, i was bloody fed up with seeing no mention of A8 versions of 8 bit games in the mainstream press, so jumped at chance to try and do something about it.
