ParanoidLittleMan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Some people doesn't find some games just because know them with different title than it is where looking for. So, I think that it is time to put together aka list of Atari ST games. All known titles in row, with little space between them, for 1 game. She-Fox Vixen Nitro Boost Challenge Super Stuntman Buggy Boy Speed Buggy Formula 1 Grand Prix - some came with title: Microprose World Circuit - no such at Atarimania. Was it distributed in USA with it ? Please don't come here with titles in other than English language. Of course that there is lot of it. That's not the point of this thread. I expect that will be more than 10 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Good idea! Nebulus by Hewson had a US release as Tower Toppler if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNameOfTheGame Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I wish Atarimania had a database api. It would make it pretty easy to get all of them from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNameOfTheGame Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I sent an email to atarimania admin to see if they could pull those games out of their database. Hopefully they can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 New list: Here to note that we have opposite case too: Different games with same title, so need to add publisher too Another World aka Out Of This World - second not present at atarimania Barbarian (Palace) aka Death Sword - I will not write full names here at this stage . Barbarian 2 (Palace) aka Axe of Rage Buggy Boy aka Speed Buggy E-Motion aka Game of Harmony, The - The goes to end because of sorting Galdregon's Domain here it's getting interesting: aka Death Bringer (Spotlight SW) . At atarimania is error - there writes that Deathbringer (as Death Bringer there) from Empire is Galdreg... with different title - wrong.

Lostdragon Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Not a footy fan but seem to remember.. World Cup Italia '90 in UK became World Championship Soccer in USA? We also had: Shadow Warriors -- European title Ninja Gaiden in USA. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the UK, Myth:History In The Making. System 3 (never finished on ST) Conan in USA? know the NES version was. The Chaos Engine became Soldiers of Fortune in the USA. Not 100% sure on this one... Cluedo: Master Detective in UK, would that of been Clue:Master Detective in the USA?. Driller in UK became Space Station Oblivion in the USA.

+DarkLord Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 "The Chaos Engine became Soldiers of Fortune in the USA" Huh. Did not know that. When I bought my copy here in the USA it was "The Chaos Engine"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Me too. I think it was just renamed Soldiers of Fortune for the SNES and Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh did wonder if it was just the console versions, only had first had experience with the MD version, sloppy port that was as well Scratch that one from the ST list then.

That used to annoy me, I see the imported ST games with really cool names only to have them changed to lamer ones when they come on the 16-bit consoles in the States. My personal favorite was The Killing Game Show becoming Fatal Rewind... Edited July 21, 2022 by MrMaddog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killing Game Show name always reminded me of Climbing For Dollars from The Running Man Fatal Rewind by comparison was just such a lame title ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Olympiad aka Winter Challenge World Cup Soccer Italia 1990 aka World Trophy Soccer That would be 23 games with different English titles, published Atari ST family versions, so far. I did not add all posted here - for instance at atarimania UK and US versions of Cluedo ... have same title. Then, Teenage Turtles has 2 parts, and second is with different name. Well, maybe there were some less known releases accessible only in limited areas, shops. Would be good to give more details about such. And I find it strange that Eu, UK release has word soccer instead football - it is known that they hate it ? Then, it seems that in USA word Olympiad is 'hated' . And it looks that Epyx is firm which liked to give unique titles to games which they distributed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of "Revenge of Defender" before, but I did find cover art of Revenge of Defender at mobygames. Hmmm, Epyx yet again.. starting to sense a pattern here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Yes, but that's for C64 version. Really don't want to deal here with titles for non Atari ST platforms. Goal is to have list of all published Atari ST family games, with alternative titles in English (and that is what is often used for non-English releases too, in diverse countries). That will help people to locate specific games easier, to make more complete game starter APPs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I don't think Another World was ever released as Out of This World in North America for the ST. It seemed like it was an import title in the US for the ST. I've never seen Out of This World for the ST anyways back in the day at retail or all these years on eBay. Strike Force Harrier was released in North America by Midscape, initially as High Roller and then Harrier Combat Simulator. Dragon's Breath was released by Cinemaware in North America and called Dragon Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanx Major . So, we have game with 3 titles, and Mindscape self released 2 of them - took some time to make their mind up 🙂 Dragon Lord was unlucky choice since there is different game (platformer) with same title from 16-32 Diffusion. Both released in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 And one more, just spotted while checked for mine unfinished adapts: Skateball aka Skate Wars - on some places it is 'Skatewars' EU and US releases by Ubi Soft .

Lostdragon Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Seem to remember Edge in it's "Making Of Alpha Waves" feature, claimed the game was known as Continuum in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
