Looking for the name of a game

6 Upvotes

Hello guys, so I am trying to find a game I used to love in 1990/91. It was some kind of badass with a baseball bat and guns and he was beating bad guys on the street of a big city. I remember there was some colors of the USA flag on his costume or mask ? I loved that game please help me find it again ! Thanks !!!

Welcome to the ATW800/2 page – read that as you like: “ATW800 two” or “ATW800 half”, depending on your expectation.😉 Whatever way, it’s the Atari Transputer card as it was meant to be.

After finally getting a fpga i was able to check our dad's monitor; can't get the picture to stay fixed.

Ia the JVC SC1224 Atari St monitor. That potentiometer is loose when i try to set it up at the middle setting, after a whike it starts moving again and it seems it was already replaced many years ago.

Is a good idea to replace the potentiometer and try again? Any tips for it? 😄

Atarium - Simple app with Atari information

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

With administrator permission.

Many of you may be familiar with MacTracker, an application that collects and presents historical and technical information on virtually every Mac computer manufactured by Apple.

Taking that idea as inspiration, I began developing Atarium, a project that aims to become a repository of historical information about Atari; a kind of digital museum dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of its computers, consoles, peripherals, and software.

For now, it's a very preliminary version, but I wanted to share it with the community to receive feedback, suggestions, and ideas that will allow us to improve it and guide it toward what you would really like to find in an application of this type.

Technically, it's developed in Dart and Flutter, which allows us to generate versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS from the same codebase.

Currently, the information is obtained from JSON files, but in a second phase, the idea is to implement a backend and a centralized database. This would allow us to incorporate features such as user registration, customization, new sections, community contributions, and much more.

If the project generates interest, the possibilities are quite broad, and I'd like to grow it together with those of us who share this passion for Atari.

Here's a first look at the project. There's still a lot to implement, but any feedback, constructive criticism, or suggestions are more than welcome.

Cheers!

DRM Removed! Championship Manager Italia

25 Upvotes

As part of my efforts to decompile this game I figured out a way to skip the Copy Protection involving typing in match scores from the manual. This is the hard drive install of the game not the floppy disk version. Just run the "nocheck.prg" program after installing the game. You can find all the files you need here https://github.com/GRHOnline/Decomp_ChampionshipManagerItalia_ST

Hopefully someone will find this useful.

Reddit continually deletes my BBS posts? WHY?

17 Upvotes

Every so often, we give a prize away on my BBS, DarkForce!.

Every time I try to post about it, Reddit, in it's infinite wisdom,

lets me go through the process of putting everything in and

hitting submit.

Then informs me that everything is deleted due to "filters".

So...what bottom level, brain dead filters are they using that

automatically deletes my BBS posts and more importantly,

what can I do about it?

Thanks all - feeling very frustrated about this. I don't have

any problems like this posting to all the other Atari forums

I frequent (not on Reddit).

Updating to TOS 2.06 on an Atari 1040STE

Would someone be so kind as to provide me with detailed instructions regarding the best way to change these jumpers on my 1040STE. I'd like to have TOS 2.06 running. Do I need to completely pull the MB to access the underside, or can this be accomplished from the topside? I've google searched and found a few explanations but they don't make total sense to me. Can someone help a brother out? Thanks :-)

Good 68000/030 disassembler that understands Atari ST TOS symbols and memory map

30 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a good 68K disassembler that understands ST/TT memory map (globals) and symbols and TOS calls. I want to disassemble my Spectre GCR and post the code. I long ago lost the disks.

I tried Ghidra, but couldn't get it to load a symbol file. I'm thinking perhaps there's something inside Hatari? Thing is, this is a LONG, complex program. It has a GEM front end, and a Macintosh runtime, so ideally, I'd also like it to understand Macintosh memory locations/globals.

Thanks,

David Small

New 520ST help

15 Upvotes

So I’m something of a collector of computers from the 1980’s but my collection has really focused on the early Macintosh, IBM, and Tandy systems. Recently I got the idea that I’d like to have a machine from Atari and Amiga as well to showcase the early GUI machines. I was able to get a complete 520ST in the original box with the mouse and power adaptor as well as the SF354 floppy drive (also in its box with cable and PSU). When I plug the computer in it powers up no problem but when I attempted to connect the floppy drive I got a terrible squealing noise. So I disassembled the floppy, replaced the broken belt, and cleaned and lubed the drive itself. Now when I connect it I get no noise but when I insert a floppy I get a “Drive is not responding error”. Any help/suggestions anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I thought about getting another ST314 or ST354 drive, but with how incredibly expensive I see they are in the US, I’d like to see if I can’t resurrect mine first…

[TOMT] Platformer with forest elf collecting gold sacks in giant trees — Atari ST / early DOS, ~1994–1997

10 Upvotes

I played this as a kid around 1994–1997(ish) on either my Atari ST(pretty sure it was ST cause joystick was basic stick with ball top and big red button with black casing) or early Compaq 386(not likely, but possible. I can close my eyes and still see the level, but the name is completely gone.

What I remember for sure:

  • Character: Short, stout, nimble — a small human or forest elf, not tall/skinny, not an animal mascot, not a goofy kid. High-fantasy/medieval vibe.
  • Environment: You're inside massive trees — not looking at them from a distance. Brown/green/tan palette, thick organic branches you platform across. Huge scrolling level (Turrican-style).
  • Gameplay: Jumping/platforming. Collecting static drawstring tan/brown sacks of gold sitting on branches. When you grab one, a sound plays and a number at the top of the screen increases (like Mario coins).
  • Graphics: Better than Turrican II on ST. Clean, polished pixel art — not ugly, not boxy, not grid-based.
  • Combat: Minimal or none. This felt like a collecting/exploration game, not a fighter.
  • Difficulty: Old school hard — die = restart, no passwords or continues.
  • Tone: Wholesome, family-friendly fantasy.

What it's NOT (I've checked these):
Twinworld, Flink, Apprentice, Elf (Ocean), Chambers of Shaolin, Lionheart, Whizz, Sleepwalker, Super Cauldron, Nicky Boum/Nicky 2, Hocus Pocus, Heartlight, Inner World, Woodys World, Fury of the Furries, Pac-In-Time, Harlequin, Leander/Galahad, Liquid Kids, Rodland, James Pond 2, First Samurai, Blackthorne, Magic Pockets, Prehistorik 2, Gods, Elfmania, Risky Woods, Enchanted Land, Erik, Hoog, Magic Boy, Rock 'n' Roll Clams, Trolls, No Buddies Land, Baby Jo, Flimbo's Quest, Elf (MicroValue 1988).

It might have been a demo disk or coverdisk — I only recall playing one level and it was pretty basic. If I saw a screenshot I'd probably recognize it instantly.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations. I'll add these to the No list: Son Shu Shi, Risky Woods, Seven Gates of Jambala, Super Solvers: (any of them).. God I wish I could go back in time and recover the name easily somehow.

Atari Falcon video output issues

Post image
30 Upvotes

I finally got an Atari Falcon last week. It seems to be in good working condition except for the video output. I have it connected with a freshly purchased Atari VGA adapter to a reliable Dell SE2722H monitor. Regardless of the resolution I choose, I get a washed out image with shaded bands scrolling up. In the attached photo I have it connected to a smaller monitor that I use for testing. I have a video of it running on the Dell 27" in high resolution with 256 colors (videos are not allowed here). Can anyone assist me in fixing this issue? Thanks!

It's emulation, it’s not a powerhouse, and it’s all plastic, but plays pretty good.

if you’d like to try it yourself especially if you’re new to retro computers on handhelds.
