Updates and progress reports from Retro Blitter Team.
We’ve added three more Atari STe games to Quick Download: P47, Prince of Persia and Silkworm. All use the Blitter and DMA sound. P47 also adds raster effects, and Silkworm brings the Amiga sound effects and music.
North & South also has a new, corrected version for the STe, now with a music player.
Retro Blitter Team is thrilled to announce the next milestone in the Hired Guns Atari STe port development. After intensive work on the front-end, title screens, and character selection system, the demo version is now ready for download. The title screen, main menu, and squad management system are fully operational in stunning STe glory—featuring custom graphics, smooth animations, and an interface built specifically for what STe can do. This isn't just another conversion: the port preserves every ounce of tactical depth from the original Amiga version while pushing STe's graphics and audio capabilities to the limit. In the demo, you'll experience the squad customization system and prepare yourself for the tactical mayhem waiting in the full release. Each mercenary has unique skills and weapons loadout—assembling your team is strategy from the first second. STe's DMA audio creates an immersive atmosphere that captures the essence of the Amiga classic. These are exactly the projects that prove Atari STe still has something vital to say to the retro scene. Download the demo now and experience tactical gameplay at its finest. Hired Guns — supremacy through strategy!
We've added a new release to the Projects section: the Polish fan edition of Supremacy: Your Will Be Done for Atari ST. Probe Software's classic space strategy game is a game of conquest, where you build colonies, manage resources and develop your fleet. You also train armies to take on four alien rivals. Every decision counts as you balance economic growth against military ambition. In this edition, the interface, messages, unit descriptions and graphical panels have all been translated into Polish. The title screen gets brand new 16-colour artwork for the standard Atari ST. The main C64 theme plays through Cream's SID emulation, so the music is closer to the original than ever. The disk opens with Retro Blitter Team and Druid feST logos. The original gameplay is fully preserved, and the whole game fits on a single disk. It runs on both Atari ST and STe and is free to download from the game's page.
The new Retro Blitter Team website is up, and it's better looking than most of the games we grew up on. Every game gets its own page with screenshots, downloads and a counter, so you can finally see how many of you are playing our stuff instead of pretending you don't. We work with no crunch, no managers and no deadlines, just good whisky, an Atari STe and people who actually know what they're doing. The About page tells you exactly who is responsible for what, so you know whom to blame (or thank). It even works on phones, so you can ignore your real life from anywhere.
The project is approaching its release milestone on Atari STe.
