For some reason this month there has been a surge in Adventure games for our retro computers (not that I’m complaining ;)). We’ve had Herra 47 : Midsummer Festival for the Commodore 64, and even the more recent announcement of Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards, which is also coming to the C64. But now we turn our attention to the Atari ST for some adventure goodness! As of right now you can download ‘galactic-panic’ by insert studio name for the ST! A classic point&click adventure, with nods to Lucasarts classics. To coincide with this news, provided below is an animated gif, a gameplay video, and some of the details from the website.
And here’s the details. “Galactic Panic is a pretty stupid point-and-click adventure in 16 colors. You’ve been recruited to embark on a perilous journey through the galaxy! The people of planet Zirius 42 are facing an insidious threat, and then need YOU! The game features a no-budget Lucasarts style point&click gameplay, no Sierra instant deaths and softlocks, 2 languages (english or french), a little more than 100 screens, a little less than 20 different music tracks, precisely 26 digitized sound effects (STE or F030 required) and only one ending”.
