Unofficial Saboteur III released (Atari STE)

lilalurl · 19 April 2012, 12:13

Recently an unofficial new game in the Saboteur series (released notably on C64 and CPC):
http://www.mobygames.com/game/saboteur
http://www.mobygames.com/game/saboteur-ii

has been released for Atari STE. Here is the page where you can find a .msa disk image and the source code (if anyone ever think of porting it and/or improve it):
http://saboteur3.blog4ever.com/blog/...s_sources.html

Here is one of the in-game videos if you want to check how it looks:

Here is the manual (in French but I guess you can copy and paste in a translation program):
http://saboteur3.blog4ever.com/blog/...le_manuel.html

I tried it a bit yesterday. I found the music quite annoying (even by ST standards

).
Gameplay seemed decent, although it seemed linear at first (after a few screens you start to get different paths).
The flying kick seems to be far more useful that the other combat moves...

I'll give it another try I guess but well right now can't really recommend it.
At least fans of the first two games can give it a try.

I don't like it. It looks worse than ZX Spectrum Saboteur I. In other words - it is typical Atari

Amiga1992 · 19 April 2012, 12:39

Amiga conversion anyone?

clauddio · 19 April 2012, 16:29

which is the best atariST emulator for windows?
I just tried saint and the game does not works fine

Galahad/FLT · 19 April 2012, 16:33

STEEM without a doubt

s2325 · 19 April 2012, 17:11

STeem or Hatari.

clauddio · 19 April 2012, 17:28

thx for the info but steem or hatari don't run saboteur 3...it boots but then crash
at least saint run the game but works with gfx glitches

lilalurl · 19 April 2012, 17:31

It worked fine for me in Steem. I used the 1.06 TOS (UK).

tomcat666 · 19 April 2012, 17:32

Uff, while I loved the first two games on Spectrum this just doesn't feel right at all

A shame... was looking forward to huge sprites and great playability.

On first glance it looks like the main character sprite is from Ninja Gaiden.

Liking the tune. Looks similar to Navy Seals! lol
