Xenon on Atari ST (1988) 🚀

One of the first Atari ST shoot'em-ups to mesmerize me 😀

David Whittaker's music was exhilarating 🤩 🎶

Happy birthday to Space Quest III ! ✨ 🎂 🎉

The game turns 35 today 🚀 (March 24, 1989)

I loved playing it on Atari ST. The first Space Quest with "high definition" graphics. It was awesome! 🤩

A few years ago, I managed to unearth a copy of Space Quest III 😀

I made a thread on Twitter showing images of the contents if you're interested:

Comme j'ai un peu le temps, je me suis dit tiens, si on cherchait un autre son de verrouillage pour le véhicule électrique ? Celui actuel (ancien son de fermeture de Windows) commence à m'agacer, et il est un peu fort (pas moyen d'en baisser le volume simplement, il faut rééditer le fichier).
Tiens, pourquoi pas une des musiques courtes du vieux jeu le Manoir de Mortevielle ? Ca doit pouvoir se trouver facilement sur internet ?
Ben pas tant que ça. On trouve la musique d'intro, 2-3 sons courts, mais pas les brèves musiques de coupe.

Bon, faut tout faire tout seul dans cette maison...

Allez hop, on démarre #Hatari , émulateur d' #AtariST , on charge le #ManoirDeMortevielle , et on lance l'enregistrement de la bande son.
Ensuite on bidouille le fichier son obtenu pour en extraire les musiques souhaitées.
J'hésite entre les 2.

Always when I pass this little building, it reminds me of the game "Tiny Skweeks" by #Loriciel that was originally released for the #Amstrad #CPC. Among others there are versions for #SNES, #Amiga, #AtariST and #DOS, some of them known under the name "The Brainies".

I have fond memories of the game and really need to play it again.

Here is a short insight of the #AmstradCPC version:

Back in 1991, the sysops of the "STaTus BBS" in New Zealand created a #GUI for their board.

The system was powered by "Instant Graphics and Sound," a plain-text vector graphics scripting language for the Atari ST similar to RIPscrip, but predating it by several years.

Here's a video showing an IGS demo they made to give an idea of their impressive "GEM Desktop" #BBS interface:

So happy to own the vinyl record of The Quest for the Time Bird 🤩 (La Quête de l'Oiseau du Temps in French)

I've digitized the music composed by Charles Callet for everyone to enjoy 🎶

Happy listening! 🎧

According to this article in the French magazine MicroNews (No. 22, June 1989), the vinyl record was released in June 1989 💿

That's 4 months after the release of the game, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this month! 🎂 🥳

J'ai retrouvé ma boîte du jeu Maupity Island pour , édité par Lankhor :-)
C'est la suite du Manoir de Mortevielle, toujours avec de la synthèse vocale (très impressionnant à l'époque). Les graphismes sont superbes, et je me souviens que le jeu était plutôt difficile !

Le dos de la boîte montrant quelques captures d'écran. Le texte introduit l'histoire et précise que c'est une enquête de Jérôme Lange (comme dans le Manoir de Mortevielle). Le jeu date de 1989

As promised, here's a short thread comparing the collector's edition of the Loom box (on the left) to the original (on the right).

As you can see, the differences are quite slight (box size, colors).

There are also some (minor) differences on the back of the boxes.

For the Collector's Edition, the screenshots are from the VGA version. The Lucasfilm Games logo has also been updated.

Here are two sides of the box (left and top).

On the top and right sides, the logo is reversed (as on other boxes made by LRG).

Note: The original box is a little sunfaded on the left side.

Here's the Book of Patterns 📖

The one in the original box has rounded corners. Note the little red swans hiding the blue text are aligned differently. Both books have granulated paper (a little thicker for the collector's edition).

Got a beautiful box today! 🌌 ✨ 🦢

It's a collector's edition of the original Loom box with extra content 🥰

Let's take a look inside!

Here's what you find when you open the box 🪄

A CD containing the game and the soundtrack, plus a USB key with the VGA version.

But there's even more! 😀

So there's also a huge, beautiful poster. But also the audio drama on CD (normally in several languages, as I've supplied the French version).

As well as the Book of Patterns, the copy protection glasses and a very nice logo patch 💝

Hey, the poster is double-sided! So here's the other side 💫

All in all, I'm very happy with this collector's edition 😍

Maybe tomorrow I'll take some photos to compare it with the 1990 edition.
