For me which puts jaguar on map is that quite many games had so very bad code class. didnt they know what 50 or atleast 25fps was? Because the Jag was designed with idea that the graphics chips would do most of the work. Nowadays that's just how things are done, but at the time no-one was used to i...

I quick checked my gamedvd of serious software and got there up: Imperial Conquest - 1993 ... Soccer Management Simulation - 1992 These two were a different PD author using the name Serious Software. I've no idea who used it first, but I definitely used it more! Other than that, the only things you...

A few more bits of info: Dates: Confusion would have been 1992 as it was written just before Cyclotron. Dice II was also 1992, it was one of my first STOS games (if you're wondering where the II comes from, the original Dice was identical but only supported two players. Again, it was never released)...

Ok, thanks for the infos :) I've never seen original Starhawk listed anywhere so as you say it might be unreleased. Was it also a vertical scrolling shooter? Yes, I wrote Starhawk and Cobra Strike at around the same time (based on the same code, obviously) and they turned out a bit too similar. Sin...

By the way, could you help us to fill the missing fields? For example have you done all the graphics yourself (except maybe that Porsche in Overdrive titlescreen?) and how about the sound effects? Thanks :) I'll see what I can remember. The Porsche, as you say, was ripped, and also the marine from ...

That's a tricky one as there were quite a few similar games. Lazer, by Martin Bent, was exactly what you describe, except it was a laser beam rather than a ball. Balls by Simon Carter was a similar game, but the ball was already moving at the start of the level, and you had to flip the existing defl...

Thanks guys. I got a pretty much instant reply from Steve at LaST - he is still running everything off a Falcon, which is a bit of a problem for me as I don't have anything with a floppy drive anymore. However, he is going to see what he can do about burning a CD. So if there's anything else in his ...

I guess you mean this page (http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/cache/369/serious.html). Well done for finding it. I hadn't been there for ages and it no longer comes up under a Google search for 'Serious Software Atari', so I ended up having to follow a link from someone else's old Atari page. I...

I've just reinstalled STeem (as well as Atari800Win and Stella - getting really nostalgic here) and found Atarimania. One of the things I've been looking out for is software that I wrote, and I notice you have one of my 8-bit games (Gridwars from a Page 6 coverdisk) but blank entries for the ST stuf...
