Hundgirrid Channel
Италия
Добавлен 6 май 2020
Hundgirrid Channel is a channel focusing 99.99% on the Atari ST 16 bit machine and very few extras.
The purpose of this channel is to show ST games, good and bad ones of every genre, with a little description to tell my personal point of view about their graphics, sounds and playability.
Clips are made with blind runs or built-in demos and I'm sure you'll notice it.
Videos are published every wednesday and every sunday at 18:30 (6:30pm) CEST (Central European Summer Time).
Every game is played on original hardware (1040STF, 1040STFM and 1040STE (4mb)) with standard 3.5" floppy disks or ST/MSA archives on Gotek Drives or SD Hard drives (loading times are almost always cut during video editing).
As I want to help the Atari ST community to grow and stay alive, this channel is made only with passion and I'll never make money from it. As such, everyone should feel free to share or link my videos in social medias, blogs or internet pages without fearing consequences.

Frenetic - Atari ST / STE
In this video, Frenetic, released in 1991 for the Atari ST by Core Design.
It's the 23rd century and you are the only soldier of the interstellar alliance that can still fight with his ship, a slow moving spacecraft which fires lasers at a decent fire rate. Your mission is to pilot this spacecraft through 8 levels full of enemies, traps and end-level bosses in order to destroy the galactic invaders.
The graphics are brilliant with good backgrounds and big nice sprites; the vertical scrolling in Frenetic, despite the name, is a bit slow but smooth without slowdowns. The chiptunes are nice while sound fx are standard ST noises. If you love the genre, this game is good, it is playable and enjo...

Scooby Doo And Scrappy Doo - Atari ST / STE
Better than I thought the St was capable of
Very impressive programming and a nice game.
Thanks!
I really like this game, a good and underrated shooter, with some imfluences of Wings of Death / Lethal Xcess. The levels are a bit long, but it doesn’t matter.
I was very impressed by this game when I was a kid, with the images in the magazines. I was lucky, never bought it or played it back in the day, it never arrived to my neightbourhood’s shop.
If you're like me, you would have been disappointed if you bought it back in the days. I didn't enjoyed this game at all.
Yep thsi looks like a NARC clone
looks like a NARC like game
j'ai encore les disquettes 3 pouces 1/2 = fun Atari émulateur à trouver...
European shmups 😢, but ost is always great
These guys programmed it right with smooth scrolling and fast sprites. Didn’t know this one existed. Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year! 🎉
Happy new year to you too
That zx spectrum-like background is so underwhelming on ST.
The game had potential to be a good "Flying Shark" kind of game, unfortunately they went with the "Goldrunner" style game, what a pity.
Happy new retrospective year 🎉🎊🎈 2025 from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮 😺👍🕹️! And if i'm lucky, i should switch on my Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 and play the old classic games... again 😹👍🕹️.
Un jeu plutot beau graphiquement. Par contre le vaisseau est lent. Surtout par rapport aux ennemis 😅
Then main person died in ms dos version: no reaction then he is died in atari st version: AAAAAAAAAAAA😭😭
The graphics and colors remind me of SWIV while the game setting feels like Sonic Boom from Sega...
Yes it's very swiv-like
I’ve always thought that this game it’s a SWIV wannabee too, I completely agree. It’s not a bad game, but the movements are too slow.
I remember having the demo version of BEASTLORD for my Amiga 500 many years ago. And it also reminds me of Psygnosis' SHADOW OF THE BEAST games. Meowy retrospective christmas 🎁🎄🎅 and a happy retrospective meow year 2025 from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮. 😺👍🕹️
Thank you and happy everything
Jesus... runs at about 10fps.
Just found my st 520 at my dads houses omg I can’t wait to show my little ones what I spent hours playing 😊
Smooth, and the chiptune is actually quite good! You did some pretty impressive moves at the very end dodging that death truck, a pity you splat just after that.
Fast and smooth scrolling
I need to practice it: it's so difficult to control it and I'm not really sure how I can asses proper amount of lunarium
Smooth scrolling that's about it
I prefer SlapFight that was released earlier in the decade
I think we can all agree that this is the only 16-bit version with decent music.
A bit strange that it doesnt work with ordinary STs equipped with blitter. I guess its about expanded color pallete
And hardware scrolling and DMA audio
@@CFalcon030 You mean hardware scrolling is a function separate from blitter? I thought that blitter handles that.
@@fradd182 it's different yes. It's due to the update on the shifter. You can scroll with the blitter though as well. I am not totally sure this game uses hardware scrolling though.
@@CFalcon030 Thanks.
Best racing game ever for the STE by far. Scrolling is super smooth too
Absolutely amazing game, this is what an STE can do. Jonathan Thomas is the guy who made also the Lotus Esprit STE edition, and Pole Position conversion.
Amazing what this guy is capable of
I wanna say a huge thank you to retro racing for this fantastic 2024 STE game. God bless you
Wouah. J'ai suivi son développement via Yaronet. Imaginez ce qu'on aurait eu comme jeux à l'époque si on avait exploité l'Atari Ste ! Au lieu de faire des jeux pour Stf et compatible Ste... Après moi j'ai du mal avec les jeux comme ça. J'ai l'impression de jamais réussir à tourner en roulant vite contrairement aux adversaires qui passent les virages sans ralentir. 😅
Nice to see an STE-caliber game. There were so few during its heyday
At least, we all know, that this Atari ST game drives retrospectively FASTER 😸😺👍🕹️.
WARLOCK'S QUEST may be a little bit complicated 😹, but it is a brilliant game 😺👍🕹️. I still have it on a tape (loose) for my Commodore 64 😺👍🕹️. Still gotta find the Amiga version 😹. The Atari ST version of this game looks magnificent 😺👍🕹️. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
Yeah by the 1990, they really learned how to use ST graphics and propel it this level.
"I know, you're gonna dig this." As i remember correctly, it was used on the Amiga version of this game. When i saw the add of this game on many of the Amiga game magazines, such as THE ONE FOR AMIGA and AMIGA ACTION, as a young little boy back in the early 1990's, i thought, it might look cool. Now, that i saw the Atari ST version of this game, i think, i want to still give a try 😺👍🕹️. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
Mediocre game, but that opening screen and music were pretty good for the time!
I wish I could play this one online on Switch.
That would be wonderful
Dont really understand whats going on there but graphics is impressive.
Me too XD I didn't figure out how to play after many tries
Great tune! I remeber there was a cassette in the game box with the music.
It seems a pain in the... Flank to control. I would have lasted 1 minute with my patience, congrats!
This game somehow reminds me of OIDS from FTL 😺👍🕹️.
Scrolling as you mentioned is a big issue here. Same for Total Recall which is a shame because Ocean had a near perfect game engine for these type of games in Batman The Movie.
call me crazy but I like the game. good effort from Ocean.
I’m agree with you, with a better scrolling it could’ve been a good game. Good graphics, music and level design, but it needs a better playability with a smooth scroll.
Best football game on ST loved this so much.
THE KING OF ALL THE SOCCER GAMES RETROS BACK - WITH ITS SENSIBLE CLASSIC GAME 😺👍🕹️! Me, my older brother, and our friends played this and SENSIBLE WORLD OF SOCCER on our Amiga 500 and my friend's Amiga 1200 back in the 1990's 😺👍🕹️. The Atari ST version of SENSIBLE SOCCER looks and sounds absolutely retrospectively brilliant 😺👍🕹️. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
No special STe features? By your title I thought of a comparison between ST / STe...
The title indicates that the game can run on both st and ste. If a game takes advantage of ste hardware I write it in the description. If a game runs only on st or ste I write it in the title.
@@hundgirridchannel It seems the same disk run also on Amiga.
Sprites are detailed and colourful, but jump-scrolling spoils it quite a bit.
Les sons et les couleurs limitees mais mieux choisies de l'amstrad en font la meilleure version, comme quoi... Culte
Un super jeu. Le même moteur que Moktar (Titus the Fox). On retrouve le même gameplay.
