+DarkLord Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Gonna mention something that I hadn't though of before, but danged if it wasn' something I used almost every single day. All the archivers....from ARC, through LZH and ZIP, ZIPjr, especially STZip (the graphical one). These tiny little apps made my Atari computing life so much easier. I'd always install ZIP as the default and when TOS 2.06 came out, I went hog wild, installing defaults for every file format I could lay my hands on. Awesome stuff. PS Especially as a SysOp of a BBS! PSS Sorry if someone had already mentioned these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) My first Happy upgrade too bad the cart didn't have the RTC option installed. Leisure Suit Larry what game this is! LOL ST Xformer and PC Ditto are my first emulators! Chip's Challenge! All the Lemmings games! I was broke when I had my first ST so I had 2 CD-ROM's full of Public Domain software that keep me busy for some time.

Amimitl2 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 As a kid I used the Atari STE mainly for playing games. Games I remember playing at the time was: Sierra games: Police Quest, Colonel's Bequest, Codename: ICEMAN, Space Quest III. Lucasfilm games: Zak McKracken, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Super Cars 2 Ikari Warriors Down Fall Exterminator Double Dragon Air to Air Combat Metro-Cross Llamatron Revenge of the Mutant Camels Vroom Horror Zombies from the Crypt Turbo Cup Blood Money Blue Angels Total Eclipse and of course many more I find it a bit difficult to make a short list, to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari74user Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Better late than never, maybe? In order of appearance and changing use of Ataris through the years, if I can recall correctly, these defined my Ataris use: The reason I was happily gifted my Atari ST as a Christmas present, as a gaming machine: Xenon Speedball Xenon II Kult Blood Money Speedball 2 Turrican Turrican II Sensible Soccer As a music machine: Quartet TCB Tracker Stereo Master Breakthru Replay 16 Cubase As a word processer / DTP 'pro' use...: ICD Pro Utilities Calamus Atari Works Papyrus NVDI ST Hardware (worth a mention, because it changed the way I used my Atari): ICD Link II For the Falcon as a music machine: Cubase Audio with FDI Clarity 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Talking about Fastcopy Pro - it was one of rare which worked not well for me. Years later we found the reason - it had some bad timings, and worked not well with some floppy drives. In any case, I can freely say that that program is overhyped. There is plenty of copy, format SW for Atari ST, what can do at least same as Fcopy, and some are better in copy - like Acopy later versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBO Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think it switched to acopy later. Fastcopy, I only used it for "small" games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Sensible Soccer - probably one the most addictive games ever made. unlike the OP - i never found this "hard as heck" - we use to have mini-leagues and i had one killer move that always worked goalie - to right-fullback straight short pass down the touchline to winger, who takes ball and runs parallel to touchline. once midway between halfway line and goal line swings curling cross toward far post attacker slides in at far post (Lineker-like) to tap in easy goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 it's been a long long time...probably last time i played the game was on a winders PC - maybe 95? after my ST had long since been mothballed i'm pretty sure the mirror version of that move would work also - ie down left-hand side of pitch - but i never got the hang of left-side play. there was a second version of the move that worked - after you've scored twice in one game with it - oppos would get wise to it... so i'd then make a short pass out from goalie to defender in "D" on edge of my own 18-yard box....oppo then thinks you're doing something else so then you promply pass the ball out the winger on the halfway line - and then finish the move as before it's still all a little "route one" - but it's slick and effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
