120 Atari ST Games

[@Wasabim]

At 09:23 I made a mistake in the editing and put video from Lethal Xcess (Wings of Death II) instead of Wings of Death , sorry.

[@noop9k]

Could add a few more. Say, Metal Mutant or Escape from the planet of the Robot Monsters

[@magellan94]

James pond 2 robocod Torvak the warrior

[@nolake]

Awesome memories. The best machine ever to me. I still have the ST and Amiga, both are obviously great but always preferred the ST.

[@MarsKilla]

Well, both machines have their strong points... I also prefer the ST(e).

[@nolake]

Indeed. And other stuff like Dune 2, Beholder etc. Too sad they even didn’t try. Don’t tell me a ST can’t run Eye of the Beholder…

[@gregferguson7737]

Multiple games have their best version on ST such as Defender of the Crown and Dungeon Master. Some desktop publishing progs and MIDI were unsurpassed for a very long time.

[@fwabble]

I had both - I can't understand why you would prefer the ST.

[@fwabble]

@@MarsKilla I went from STe to Amiga because of the sound in games, very very VERY few games were either enhanced for the hardware of the STe or developed with the STe in mind. I loved my STe but in the end what's the point if the software was basically ST software. This was a hard learnt lesson for me early on.

[@AtariCrypt]

Just managed to finish watching this. Makes you realise the variety and quality of ST games. I liked how each clip was short too. Makes for better viewing. Great work mate 👍🏻

[@wleon4068]

I can't tell you the hours I spent with my Atari ST. The memories this brings back to me are wonderful. Although the games were only kilobytes of memory, on floppy discs, many of them - in fact nearly all of them - had that replayability. My go too games were: Speedball 1, and 2, Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix, I.k. Karate, 1988 Olympics, Dungeon Master, Populous, Damocles, S.S Jayne Seymore. Battlechess etc etc.

[@ridiculous_gaming]

The original Dungeon Master back in 1988 was a jaw dropping experience. I never dreamed that such a game could be created on one disk. You could even throw a shuriken at enemies, and some would go through the metal bars. Migrating from the Atari 8 bit line, this was simply magic. Fantastic!

[@MrPetari]

On one single sided disk actually - 400 KB one. Plus works with half MB, unlike Amiga v. Price is there: loading and starting of game take pretty long time - over 1 minute, and the reason is 2 level packing. I made version without packing, and it fits on 720 KB floppy.

[@lilayork6410]

14 levels, umpteen monsters, awesome puzzles….all on one floppy. First time I fought a screamer 😂😂😂.

[@sdl98]

Amazing nostalgia, I remember playing about 90% of these games during my youth. Thank you for sharing!

[@philippebeaureilles2416]

Excellent, que de si bons souvenirs en condensé ! Merci !!!

[@darrenberkey7017]

Oh man, how I remember my Atari ST collection. I had a custom made cabinet to hold the 1500+ 3.5inch floppy discs, and I forget how many games there were, most of them went unplayed, but I had a printed catalog to help me locate them in the cabinet. Many (but certainly not all) were obtained through a friend of mine who had a contact in Europe who would ship over bootleg copies of games even before they were released in the US. In fact, some of them were *never* released in the US and there were a few that were in foreign languages.

[@handaxe3143]

Wow, this really takes me back. It was amazing what they could do with just 16 colours at a time!

[@sengchan7713]

Thanks a lot! A few favorites: Stunt car racer (I played all night and my mum caught me in the morning), speedball, xenon 2, sim city, etc.

[@MansaMusa50]

love it. so so many happy memories watching all of these again.

[@KorenTheDark]

Games I remember I possessed : Arkanoid ; Bubble Bobble ; Buggy Boy ; Cybernoid ; Barbarian ; Joust ; Mission Elevator ; Bomb Jack, Xenon and many others I don't remember.

[@hundgirridchannel]

Great selection of games, awesome work!!!

[@Wasabim]

Thank you :-)

[@triton4541]

Bonjour et merci Wasabim, J'ai toujours mon Atari 520 STE étendu à 1 Mo de ram avec 2 barrettes SIMM de 256 ko.🌹🌺 🍀Cordialement

[@guts6157]

miss my Atari and my childhood

[@laurentguillou3755]

Certain jeux ont pris un coup de vieux, surtout si on les compare aux versions arcades. Je m'estime chanceux d'avoir connu cette grande époque d'évolution. Merci pour tout ce travail d'archiviste.

[@dweston76]

Great list

[@jasemhustej7552]

Thanks for a great video!

[@29Twinsen]

Good selection. I have play all games of the video. 😉 I like the Atari st. It's my first computer.

[@sirenia755]

i played most of those game, there bring back good memories.

[@luislodosm]

Great recopilation.

[@gilou275]

Bob Winner, Badlands, Overlander, Sidewinder, Altered Beast, Outrun, et probablement bien d'autres qu'on oublie avec le temps... Merci pour ce voyage dans le passé 🙏

[@lenobleherve6664]

tx for all this memories. I played at half this game. Tx u

[@jeffc4207]

Merci je regarde bcp tes vidéos sur des jeux de mon enfance qui me font remonter pleins de souvenir mais la avec ta dernière vidéo tu as carrément déterré certains jeux que j'avais complétement oublié ou oublié le nom merci pour ce rafraichissement de madeleine de proust ^^ je reprendrais bien un épisode 2

[@Wasabim]

De rien, merci à toi ! Au début j'étais parti sur 50 jeux puis 100 et je me suis arrêté à 120 mais j'en ai écarté plein :-). Donc oui je pense qu'il y aura un épisode 2 plus tard ^-^

[@mwaawm]

Wow so many great games on our good old Atari ST!

[@N_O_R_R_I_E]

very nicely put together, thankyou ! a lot of great memories 🙂

[@danm3570]

dude that game nebulus, I've been trying to find out what that was called for decades, thanks. Just nostalgia, played it at friends house in early 90s 👍

[@warrenjenkins9246]

I had a game on the st when I was a kid but I colud not remember its name but seen it on this video so thank you. It was magic pockets going to look for it now

[@TomCarbon]

Nice selection most of my favorite games are there... except a few ones such as Boston Bomb Club, CrackDown, Infestation, Nitro, Rocket Ranger, Storm Master

[@Wasabim]

Fan de Silmarils ? ;-) Oui j'ai du faire des choix pour me limiter à 120 jeux... Mais je ferais une partie 2 prochainement et certains de ta liste y seront ;-)

[@Mecha_Gear]

MIDI Maze should be worth a mention, cause it predated LAN parties.

[@janhallholm9043]

Great games and very good video very short about games 👍👍👍👍

[@Wasabim]

Thank you :-)

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

People like to downplay the Atari ST as not being as good as, say, the Amiga, but don't mention that it was considerably cheaper and it had much better game performance than what most Americans would have had at the time, an IBM PC or clone with CGA graphics and the dreaded PC speaker. The Tandy 1000 models had 16 entire colors and a similar 3-voice sound chip to the ST, but were still hampered by the slow speed of the 4.77 MHz 8088 CPU. Oh well... sadly, market domination isn't settled by which computer had the best port of Oids though...

[@seelt]

Super vidéo ;) !

[@JoanOrfila]

Great video! Thank you (in Wings of Death you showed a Lethal Xcess fragment instead, by the way... :)

[@Wasabim]

Thanks :-) And yes you're right 😭 shame on me...

[@andrearigoni678]

Great! But I absolutely love Gunship

[@MarsKilla]

Great choice of games. Nice video !!! However at 09:26 I think it's Lethal Excess, not Wings Of Death (EDIT : but it has been said already, sorry for the "noise").

[@jps6704]

Ça fait vraiment du bien... merci.

[@Wasabim]

De rien ;-)

[@peaceformula5830]

Blood Money Hero Quest Space Hulk Gods Populous 2 Were some very memorable ones.

[@peaceformula5830]

Speedball 2 Sensible Soccer North and South

[@sulfux]

thanks !!!

[@AtariCrypt]

Woooooooo !!!!!! :O

[@KingCrimson82]

there was something special in trying to see the beauty in games knowing that it isnt the top of the game but still ok.. and especially if you read magazines and know all the titles from the pictures and chats with friends. Back then a gamer knew every title, a time where f19 stealth bomber was a name like "coca cola"

[@stephenquinn3950]

Awesome

[@scottblackadder2910]

Picked up boxed atari st,seams to work only loading games when i press reset button when i click on drive icon disc appears as empty,picture a bit grainy so getting rgb cable for it

[@originalfred66]

Great video summary of games! I was always disappointed that the ST did not have a decent collection of classic games from the early 80s. Where is Missile Command, Battlezone, Tempest, Asteroids, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Galaga, etc.? Even the IBM PC had Microsoft Arcade, Return of Arcade, and Revenge of Arcade. Those classic games could have been arcade perfect on the ST. That is part of the reason I never upgraded from my Atari 8-bit to an ST. I went with an IBM PC compatible instead because they seemed to be standard of the future.

[@Xenon0000000000001]

There were loads of PD/Shareware remakes of classic 8-bit games like those (countless Pac-Man clones). Plus, you could emulate some 8-bit systems to play the originals.

[@sunemanhispaniola]

I'm only missing Licence to kill, The spy who loved me and Player Manager

[@JPS19000]

Super vidéo !!! Ça me rappelle de très bons souvenirs tout ça. Par rapport à mon panthéon vidéoludique de l'Atari ST, il manque juste Barbarian de Psygnosis. Merci Wasabim ! PS : Petite question, la version de Capitain Blood présentée ici, est bien celle sortie uniquement en France avant la version définitive mondiale ? Je dis ça parce que la voix est en français, alors qu'elle est en anglais dans la version définitive.

[@Wasabim]

Merci à toi ! J'ai failli le rajouter ce "Barbarian" là mais finalement j'avais plus de souvenirs avec l'autre "Barbarian" :-) Pour "Captain Blood", c'est une version crackée de "L'arche du Capitaine Blood" de 1988 ;-).

[@JPS19000]

@@Wasabim Donc, c’est bien la première version commercialisée en France mais pas complètement déboguée. Merci pour la confirmation !

[@jimkrom]

Wow, looking at this I can appreciate how much better the Amiga was... Back in the day I only saw ST games in games magazines and always thought the two machines were comparable. Turns out, nope!!!

[@Gumplayer2]

For me Amiga games look better as well

[@KingCrimson82]

weird especially this selection belongs to the "comparible" segment of games. It always was up to the programmers money and time

[@CastleKnight7]

I preferred the look and sound of the Atari ST. The Amiga sounded muffled and tinny to my ears. When I saw games being played on an Amiga for the first time I wasn’t impressed, especially considering how much more they cost.

[@Del-Blanco-Diablo]

the sound quality let the system down badly i ended up swapping mine for a famicom , it seemed like a good deal in my 13 yr old mind and i never regretted it until i was a little bit older ,but still i did have a good time with the snes because it came with 4 tier A games included in the swap, street fighter 2, un squadron, castlevania dracula x, super mario world and F-zero, i suppose i did get a good deal the games were worth £200 on their own and the console was like £150 compared too a £300 atari st with a few copied games and no joysticks.

[@stephen-dev]

Bought my ST for the sole purpose of playing Sundog.

[@jond1965]

Have an Atari vcs, 800, 1040st and mega 2 st. Original owner all still work

[@colinthomson7518]

good st memories

[@n3r0n3]

I had never seen some of these in colour actually.. my screen was black and green!!

[@gregorylipinsky]

To były czasy!

[@lilayork6410]

Awwwww. Now I wanna get an old ST. My first real pc, kersniff. Dungeon Master, sundog, bards tale. And white crosses by the thousand count from DE pharmaceuticals 😂😂😂. Ah the 80’s

[@Volcano7935974]

Nice but where are technocop, shufflepuck cafe, operation wolf, flying shark, colonial conquest, les voyageurs du temps, winter games etc

[@Fanophil]

Oh c'est carrément la classe 😍😍😍 j'avais l'atari ste 1040. Il y avait aussi Sky Chase en fil de fer 😅 il était vraiment super !!!

[@Wasabim]

Merci :-). Je vois que tu as retrouvé le nom du jeu ;-) Je ne le connaissais pas. Je le mettrais dans la 2eme vidéo

[@chrisholland5138]

Out of interest, Obsession, Stardust and Substation were Atari STE specific games for the later enhanced ST.

[@julienbraudel7109]

Excellente sélection mais il manque la plupart des jeux Océan France : Ivanhoé, Beach Volley, Plotting.. je mettrais aussi les Blues Brothers, Black Sect, Epic, Panza Kick Boxing, Magic Boy, Nicky Boom, Metro Cross, Creatures, Ork, Jim Power, Risky Woods, Disc, E-Motion, Pick n'Pile, Rubicon, Awesome, Wrath of the Demon, et dans les jeux récents, Rox Zéro, Old Towers. Je crois que tu dois pouvoir arriver à en rajouter 120 de plus, voire 180.. merci pour tes vidéos.

[@Wasabim]

Une deuxième vidéo avec une autre slave de 120 jeux est prévu ;-) Certains de ta liste y seront :-)

[@julienbraudel7109]

J'ai oublié les jeux de Microdeal comme Airball, Jug, Gold Runner.. hâte de voir ta vidéo.

[@benford5088]

Ah the memories. Anyone know the ST game where you were a sort of robot chicken and you had to escape from a rising pink slime? I can’t find it anywhere.

[@jimkrom]

The killing game show???

It is a really nice video, and I wish I knew how to 'bend' the videos on screen. Really cool effect.

[@w.w.7148]

Easy to do with DaVinci Resolve.

[@TPau65]

I did something similar with my Xenon 2 Video (YT seems not to allow links in comments anymore, so see my channel). I prepared a scenery for OBS Studio with the monitor frame and captured the Atari footage together with that frame.

[@AtariLegend]

[@ARTCOURT1]

Bonjour j'ai justement a vendre ce type de materiel, Atari avec avec lecteur externe intergré avec disque dur plus un autre disque dur et écran, et une souris avec justement cubase et des jeux sur disquettes, mais je ne sais pas comment évaluer son PRIX, quelqu'un aurait t'il une idée????

[@Wasabim]

Tu peux essayer de voir sur des groupes facebook "Atari ST", il y a des personnes qui sauront te répondre.

[@f.k.b.16]

I always assumed anything from the 80's with the Atari name on it had a resolution of 54x96 pixels on screen. (Lots of color with no detail lol!) Why does it sound so good? I didn't think it had a sound card ability?

[@noop9k]

This is Atari ST, not Atari 2600 or Atari 800/XL/XE

[@f.k.b.16]

@@noop9k I just didn't know the ST even had the ability to accept a "modern" sound card. I thought it was limited to the "PC speaker" type sounds.

[@noop9k]

@@f.k.b.16 ST has built-in MIDI ports that were widely used for professional audio production . Also there were DACs connected to printer port, used by some games. But most of these games in the video are just playing digital audio through its built-in 3-channel PSG chip. It was not supposed to do that, but it is quite easy in practice, albeit with significant CPU cost. It is also possible to play decent digital audio using PC Speaker too. Some DOS games do that.

I dunno, after comparing videos of games on each, the Amiga games just seem like they are smoother....

It quite shocking how inferior most of the games look compared to Amiga versions. Perhaps not a fair comparison as Amiga's hardware was on another level to ST, but still.

[@mal-avcisi9783]

the sound was horrible, bedoners, when compared to the amiga

[@CastleKnight7]

The Amiga had a muffled, tinny sound with crappy fake guitar sounds. Give me the crisp, clear sounds of the Yamaha sound chip any day.

[@ApostelKrieger]

The Sound was allways shit, even C64/C16/Plus4 where miles ahead! For Gaming i would go with Amiga all day long!
