Whitewater Madness - Move over Toobin you've got destructive competition (Atari STe)

I'm pretty sure many of you remember the Arcade game 'Toobin' by Atari Games, a game which featured two player fun in a competitive river race as you bounced off each other avoiding obstacles to get to the finish line. But now imagine a very similar game but this time you're in a powerful ship of some kind travelling through time to collect energy cells while also shooting at deadly hazards such as giant water beasts. Welcome to ' Whitewater Madness ' a game which was under development in 1989 by Scott Williamson and Ed Schneider designed specifically for their new Atari STe computer!

Prince Of Persia - Hit classic is audio and performance enhanced on the Atari STe

From 1989 onwards Brøderbund released the hit classic action platformer game 'Prince of Persia' on a multitude of systems such as the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST and MS-DOS. A true brilliance for its time and still worth playing today, featured many platforming levels and high danger which was usually met with falling floors, sword wielding enemies, crashing grates and at worst deadly spikes. This incredible game however has again appeared in our news feeds, but this time thanks to a heads up by AtariCrypt has been audio-enhanced by Peter Putnik for the Atari STe.

8-way scrolling system teased for Atari STE game development

We don't usually feature Atari STE games simply for the fact that I am mainly an Amiga gamer at heart, but sufficed to say I was rather impressed by the news that has just appeared in our feed thanks to our friends AtariCrypt. A coder/developer by the name of Douglas Little (aka dml) is developing a new game engine for the Atari STE which creates the groundwork for an ultra smooth screen scrolling engine, and one with lots more colours. So imagine side scrolling shooters with smooth frame rates and lots of baddies on screen, which could be a realistic possibility with this up coming engine for the Atari STE.
