The Atari ST hits 40: we remember Atari’s 16-bit micro and six of its best games
I’m sure there will be 100% agreement with the chosen titles, as ever. :D

@craiggrannell Def some classics in the list, but with such a big catalogue, such a list never please everybody :)
things I'd add:
Carrier Command
Millenium 2.2
Captain Blood
Wings of Death
Guild of Thieves (.. well, any Magnetic Scrolls)
Rainbow Islands or Bubble Bobble
@Sentry23 I tend to avoid arcade conversions, because they’re never really as good as the originals. But the first three on your list made my original shortlist. But, yeah, even if I’d had 50 slots, that wouldn’t have covered everyone’s favourites. My aim is therefore just to point people to good stuff that, ideally, is mostly unique to (or at least better on) the platform I’m writing about.
@craiggrannell I still remember the jump scares from Dungeon Master. An amazing experience.
@craiggrannell
Llamatron, Dungeon Master, Midi-Maze,
but then:
Sundog
The Blues Brothers
Lemmings
Xenon
Barbarian
Universe II
Falcon

I never cared what came out on Amiga.
@craiggrannell somewhat telling that the #Amiga got ten best games, but you could only find six #ST games worth writing about 😂
@WiteWulf Ha! It’s actually because the Amiga one is an earlier article that got updated, but the ST one is based on the Stuff mag back page, and the add-on format there mostly settled at six games.
