Goochman #2 Posted March 23, 2004 Time Bandit - this was so awesome and unqiue when it came out The Spy Hunter game was retty good too - Michtron put out some nice stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Sauron #3 Posted March 23, 2004 Too many favorites to really make one a top choice, but the two I've probably played the most are Dungeon Master and Pacific Islands. Superfly and GodPey have both sucked me in, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MasterMotorola #5 Posted March 23, 2004 Golden Axe was one of my favourites. My friend and I wrote a strategy guide for it about ten years ago and distributed it on BBS's. We also dumped many quarters into the arcade version at our university games room. Sadly, I no longer have the game. If someone has an ST version and would like to do a trade, please let me know. I'd love to play it again! - Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory DG #6 Posted March 23, 2004 Dungeon Master, definitely. I also like Llamatron, Starball, Wings of Death, & Frontier: Elite II. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stephen Moss #7 Posted March 23, 2004 I don't really play games much any more - too busy trying to program games and apps instead, when I did play them I really liked simulations as while being along one theme they are different every time you play so in reverse order.... 4rd) Silent Service 2 - those Destroyers can really give you a hard time. 3nd) Reach for the Skies - Intellegent AI with good return fire and text radio messages to draw you into the game. You will end up looking around for those 109's there damn dangerous in the latter stages. 2nd) Microprose F1 Grand Prix - car graphics are not the best but very realistic driving and track layout, you can even tell when your going up and down hill. 1st) Jimmy Whites Wirlwind Snooker - ok it does not have as much variation as the others, the computer does make some improbale shots, and you can't always get the best view for a shot your trying to make but the graphics and sound and general gameplay are all excellent.

Atari_Owl #8 Posted March 23, 2004 3. F1 Grand Prix 2. Super Sprint - countless university hours lost to this 1. Time Bandit - outstanding game The first i bought (and one of the very best ever imo) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oesii #9 Posted March 23, 2004 I've only been ST gaming for 1 year plus but my favorites so far are: Vroom Stunt Car Racer and the recently released STe game Roger: http://www.atari-forum.com/ftopic1775.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevens #10 Posted March 23, 2004 Has to be the following: 1) Dungeon Master 2) F1GP 3) Supercars 2 Richard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman #11 Posted March 23, 2004 Dungeon Master Star Glider Phantasie Series Arkanoid The graphical Rogue was cool Oids Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunstar #12 Posted March 23, 2004 I'm still relatively new to the ST, only had one for about a year-1 1/2, so I've not nearly played every game, but I love 3D games, even the old plain polygon 16-bit ones. That being said, I really LOVE NSP (No Second Prize); this is a particulairly smooth and fast cycle game, Atari should have gotten these people (Thailion Software) to do games for the Jag, their stuff is fantastic. I am curious about F1GP since it's already been mention a couple of times; is it a Polygon based racer or sprite/bitmap? I know I still have to try out TimeBandit, I've heard of it's praises since i first came out in '85 or so... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LYNXGUY #13 Posted March 23, 2004 I totally forgot about Dungeon Master, Star Glider, Arkanoid, Time Bandit and Spy Hunter Golden Axe is familiar but I just can't remember what the game looked like or how the game was played Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saikyo #14 Posted March 23, 2004 Pang Star Wars The Arcade Game Onslaught The Pawn Rock n' Roll and Mouse Trap BTW are any of those rare? oh yeah and starglider is cool too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LYNXGUY #16 Posted March 24, 2004 I know that there are st emulators out there so which one would anyone recommend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayreon #17 Posted March 24, 2004 Atari should have gotten these people (Thailion Software) to do games for the Jag, their stuff is fantastic Thalion was formed by people from the ST demo scene. Unfortunately Thalion went up it's arse before the Jag came out. Eclipse was more or less born from the remains, and released some ST games and the Iron Soldiers for the Jag, psx and Nuon. Lots of Thalion and Eclipse games are high in my fave Atari games list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtariDude #18 Posted March 24, 2004 Time Bandits, Dungeon Master, and Captain Blood were just a few of my favorites. I also liked Defender of the Crown although I never won the game if I saved the princess. The Pawn was also an awesome game when it was released for the ST. Has anyone ever finish that game? If so, could you send me a private message and tell me how things finished? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of Thalion and Eclipse games are high in my fave Atari games list. Well, then you see what I mean; if Eclipse was basically old Thalion, then I.S. and I.S.2 prove my point! Obviously Atari WAS smart enough to get these great programmers to do stuff for the Jag, even if they weren't a part of Thalion anymore. I just wish they had done a polygon racer for the Jag instead of Teque Software or Rebellion (WTR/F1, CheckeredFlag), just knowing what they pulled off with just the simple old 68000 on the ST with NSP, they could have done wonders beyond belief for the Jag...

Mocha #22 Posted March 26, 2004 I actually bought Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade adventure game before I bought an ST! Jeff That game was great!! I played it so much on my ST!! It kinda makes me wish I still had my ST running.. I think it's in the basement in a box though.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mocha #23 Posted March 26, 2004 Honestly, I spent most of my time logged on to BBS's when I had my ST. So the game which I probably played most was TRADEWARS. Oh the days of text based video games.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+DarkLord #24 Posted March 16, 2005 Gosh, there were many great ST games that I played (and play): Dungeon Master Chaos Strikes Back Bards Tale Ultima 3,4,5 Star Fleet 1 Stardust Arctic Fox Space Quest 1,2,3 Blood Money Falcon :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darius Nefarious #25 Posted April 15, 2005 (1) Oids--I can't believe only one other person has mentioned this game. Hours and hours of fun to play, and endless fun to create new worlds with the editor. (2) Virus--There were different games with this title; I'm talking about the one by David Braben. Beautiful landscape, excellent game play (once you master the controls). (3) Goldrunner--Speed and innovative scrolling up and down. (4) Carrier Command--Those were the days when I had time enough to play a real-time simulation... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
