Atari 800 and Atari ST here.

Some of my childhood favorites: Wizard of Wor, Ali Baba, Archon, Arkanoid.


Nice. I have an Atari 800 XL, but I never had a an ST. I've read it was an amazing machine. I miss the days when computers brands actualy meant different hardware and software like consoles.

 

BTW: What's that Falcom game in your sig? I'm a fan of the Ys series, but I don't know all Falcom games.


It's funny, my fondest childhood memory of the ST is that the cursor turns into a bee when it's "busy" loading, and I'd be sitting there trying to sting things with it until the game loaded. Haha.

As for Falcom, they have 2 big series. One is Ys which is fairly well known outside Japan. The other is their RPG series Legend of Heroes (also known as Dragon Slayer for the first 2 games) which is unfortunately not very popular out West, although I do believe there are English releases all the way up to the first chapter of #6. My sig is what will be the new entry in Legend of Heroes this year.


Yeah, I love the Ys series. I have many, but not all of them. I have the first one on Master System and the one on Genesis and the ones on PSP. It was a pretty clunky series untill resently. I've never heard of Legend of Heroes. What kind of game is it, an Action Adventure like Ys or more of a standard RPG, strategy, etc.?
