Retro: My list of Atari ST 'canon' - games you simply must try before you can call yourself a nerd.
Tue, 20 Sep 2005
This is a non-exhaustive list of games I played or found otherwise interesting or significant on the almighty Atari ST. Of course I physically played hundreds more, but these I found interesting or amusing enough to comment about and thought they might help give focus to folks who never had an ST or the resources (*cough* BBS piracy *cough*) to see them all personally. This is of course just my list, and so won't include a lot of great titles other people enjoyed.. but what can you do?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This took *way* too much time to put together![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Around 200 games
For details and screenshots, head over to the very good Atari Legend site. BBS games and applications like Cubase will be in another posting someday.
Legend:
'?' Entries beginning with '?' weren't played by me, though I intend to fire them up in an emu soon.
'=' Format is 'game title' followed by '=' (equal sign) then description; no equals present if no description added. Yes, I'll toss this in a database someday![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
'*' They're not really marked by genre or score, so its less useful than it could be. I'll try and do that sometime. But howabout I lay in a *** for games that you should try first.
