Atari ST Multiplayer Games

Recommended Posts

Do you remember the thrill of playing multiplayer/link-up games in the times when it was a rare thing? I loved playing all the multiplayer games that I have on the ST and was wondering if anyone knows just which games are available/have been made for it. I have and know of some, but am hoping to find others from you guys in Atari Land.

 

I am primarily talking about either link-up games (via the RS-232 or MIDI ports), 4 player games (via printer port adaptor) and split-screen games (like Bloodwych).

 

4 Player games (via printer port 4-Player adaptor):

Gauntlet II

Leathernecks

ST Soccer

 

Split-screen games:

Bloodwych

Bloodwych Data Disc

Crackdown

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge II

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge III

 

MIDI games:

Midi Maze

Midi Maze II

 

RS-232 games:

Battlechess

Colossus Chess X

F16 Combat Pilot

Falcon

Flight of the Intruder

Flight Simulator II

Jet

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge II

Populous

Powerdrome

Prince

RVF Honda

Stunt Car Racer

Vroom

 

So my question is this: are there any other games that belong in any of the above mentioned groups :?: Can anyone add more games to this list?

 

I know of Dynablaster and that it is a 5 player game, but I'm not sure as to how it's connected. Printer adaptor as well (with someone using the keyboard)?

 

Also, I belive that Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge III is only split-screen and that they've removed the link-up option. If I'm mistaken then please post correction.

Ypu could play Flight Sim 2 over the modem, and don't forget Kesmai's Air Warriors over the (RIP) GEnie network.

 

D'oh! I didn't see you had FS 2.

Dynabusters use extended Joyports for STe and Falcon

 

Do not forget Bombsquad.

 

Do you count games for Falcon? There is great Bugger from Reservoir Gods.

Apparently substation used the midi port for multiplaying. Haven't tried it though. I'm sure its good fun, blasting your buddy away. 8)
