Nothing special in the boxes to show, except for this flyer for Microdeal games and software. There's Airball, which I love.

Jupiter Probe, I'm not sure I've played it, but the screenshots make me want to!

Here's the back of the boxes with some nice screenshots.

On the Xenon box, the level shown in the second row of screenshots has green tiles in the final version of the game.

Received these two boxes this week 😀

Goldrunner and Xenon, my two favorite shoot 'em ups on Atari ST. Impressive graphics and music that will remain in my memory forever.

The boxes are nice too 🚀 ✨

Don't forget to stop by my place 🩸

I unimpressively missed #sepTandy, and so am belatedly posting this (with my head hung low). For shame...

A Fright Night adventure game was also planned for Atari ST and Amiga, but it was never released.

Here are the only two screenshots that were shown by Microdeal 🦇

I also remember the video game adaptation of Fright Night on Amiga. The atmosphere was really scary 😅

As a vampire, you had to hurry to suck the blood of your victims and get back to your coffin before dawn 🧛‍♂️ ⚰️ 🌄

And finally, here are some screenshots of Airball on other computers.

In order: DOS (EGA), DOS (CGA), Atari 8-bit and Dragon 32/64, which is the very first version of the game! (entirely developed by Edward Scio)

And a few years ago, I discovered that there was an Amiga version.

To my great surprise, an intro and new music were added! 🎶

More than 30 years after playing it, I'm still fascinated by Airball 🤩

A strange and unique atmosphere 🪄 🫧

More Tanglewood screenshots (and in better quality)

One day, I'll play it again 😀

Although the screenshots on the back of the box are small, you can see that there was a nice variety of environments 🎨 🖌️

Did you also notice the first-person or side views? 🔍

(now I remember those caves)

Tanglewood 🍄 (1987) on Atari ST

An obscure and weird game I couldn't figure out how to play 🤪

The graphics are as gorgeous as ever! 😍 (made by Pete Lyon)

And here are two screenshots of the adventure game Fright Night, which was finally cancelled.

Also developed by Microdeal 🧛‍♂️

Welcome to Fright Night! 🧛‍♂️🪦 😱

I still love the atmosphere of this game, despite its difficulty 🏚️ 🦇 👻

And the movie really scared me 😅

Here's Airball on Atari ST! (1987)

This is one of the first isometric games I played on this computer. In spite of its difficulty, it's still as mesmerizing as ever 🤩

Pete Lyon's graphics and Paul Shields' music make it a unique game ✨
