Atari ST exclusive games
 
http://www.atarilegend.com/games/gam...&game_search=1
http://www.atarilegend.com/games/gam...p?game_id=3532
you need only Atari ST emulator, disk images (planetemu.net) and TOS image version 1.62
Alien Thing & Alien Blast need more than 1MB of virtual memory
I don't know why Alien Blast is little slow under emulator (STeem)


Edit1:
Exclusive Atari ST games that were never ported to the Amiga

We know that the Atari ST was physically hardware inferior to the Amiga, but there were still quite a few commercial Atari ST games that never saw an Amiga release. This has always interested me because, even though the Amiga is and probably always will be my favourite gaming platform, the ST and all other gaming platforms always have their own special and unique games to play.

So far from the old thread Atari ST games that outshone the Amiga we have a few exclusive ST games mentioned, plus I've collected together quite a few more.

The list I have so far is as following (with links to Atari Legend entries):
* = need to check there isn't an Amiga version
+ = available now on Amiga, but never officially released
# = ported from the ST to the Amiga by meynaf in 2012:
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=797066#post797066


Are there any more anyone can think of?

They don't have to be exclusive to the Atari ST. Just not released on the Amiga. For example Star Trek was also released for DOS and the C64, but never on the Amiga.

I know that the early US ST released were mostly never ported, Early Activision, Ere Informatique, Hippo and Loricels games, Atari Corp games... will have to check the releases from those to see if there are any more that were not released on the Amiga.

Update: I've just found a load more listed on a few forums. I've updated the list above to include them. http://forum.classicamiga.com/forum/...stom/smile.gif Quite a few for us all to try and enjoy via emulation.

A really good Alien Breed clone is Alien Swarm, a free mod for Unreal Tournament 2004. http://www.blackcatgames.com/alienswarm.html

They were working on an updated mod using the source engine, but I dont know how much progress they made with it.

The best bit about the mod is doing 4 player co-op!

Wow, that Alien Blast looks like it ripped the graphics from Alien Breed.

The Alien Swarm i remember downloading about 3 years ago now, its pretty damn awesome, well the demo of it i played.

s2325 07 June 2008 19:07

I checked some games:
http://www.atarilegend.com/games/gam...?game_id=5409# no music, collision detection with some unexpected glitches, basic & odd sounds, good gfx, main hero is little too slow
http://www.atarilegend.com/games/gam...p?game_id=5042 nice Dizzy clone but jumping is horrible, you can hear music from Sanxion/Extirpator on title screen
http://www.atarilegend.com/games/gam...p?game_id=3521 Montezuma's Revenge clone, very similar 8-bit playability, but it's good game with weird main hero
http://atarilegend.com/games/games_d...p?game_id=4082 you can name it Flood 2 ;) bombs/grenades bounce & explode with similar effect

frikilokooo 08 June 2008 01:20

Hoog is very nice!,I never thought that the Atari ST would interest to me in its PD games.Its commercial games are all in Amiga except for some bad one.There were many users of Atari ST,the support of the users to the Atari ST is very nice!:)
