Atari ST Arcade Games.

There were literally thousands of games released for the Atari ST, and this site cannot hope to review more than a fraction of them. In two or three days trawling the Internet, a little perserverance will uncover at least 100Mb of compressed disk images, each of which contain typically one or two games - sometimes as many as half a dozen. I personally have about 300 games for the Atari ST, with more arriving in my [postal] letterbox every day as I pull in favors from fellow nostalgic computer collectors. Believe it or not, administering zws.com is not my primary occupation (I'm a programmer - this site exists primarily to demonstrate my coding, computer-enthusiasm, HTML design and English expression skills to prospective employers), and I doubt that I will ever find time to review all of my collection. However, I will endeavor to grow this site whenever I find the time. Please don't offer to submit reviews; this site is a collection of personal reminiscence and nostalgia. Your reviewing skills will be much appreciated at the Little Green Desktop.

In order to reduce the graphical loading of this index, each of the links below will take you to a smaller page which contains screenshots and a complete description of the game in question. NB: Most of the screenshots here were taken using NoSTalgia for MacOS, V0.3a1. Almost everything which works with NoSTalgia will also work with PaCifiST for DOS, V0.46.
