SOMMARHACK 2018
JULY 6 - 8

  Game competitions
Like the four past years, we'll be holding gaming competitions of classic Atari 8- and 16-bit games. The games in question are Arkanoid on the ST and Warhawk on the XL.
 
Atari ST game competition
 
Arkanoid
A Taito arcade game, mainly a breakout clone that had a good port on the ST by Peter Johnson. Breakout was ment to be a "one player Pong" but Arkanoid takes it a long way beyond that. We'll be playing on the real hardware with a generic mouse, you can bring your own mouse if desired.

Many different levels, bonus paddles and enemies. What are you waiting for? Get the game and start practise!

  Don't let the greek Atari-gaming-god GGN come here and destroy us once again. Practise your Arkanoid and Warkhawk skills to the max!
 
Atari XL/XE game competition
 
Warhawk
A shoot'em up classic that was released on many platforms. It has one of the most appreciated soundtracks of any XL game (by Rob Hubbard).

The graphics is not state of the art, but the game is fast and action packed, the conversion on the Atari XL/XE is made by Andrew Betts.
