Description of Sundog: Frozen Legacy Atari ST
Read Full DescriptionArguably the best Atari ST game ever made, Sundog: Frozen Legacy is also one of the best sci-fi RPGs ever, period.
It isn't a strategy game, or a space combat game, or a role playing game, but a masterful blend of all three genres into an addictive, astounding epic that will take you months to complete (it took me a few solid weeks, even with walkthrough in hand).
The game's premise is somewhat cliche, but reasonable: you are a former (galactic) slave who just inherited your uncle's starship, along with a contract that your uncle was working on, which is to supply a colony with the materials and equipment it needs to grow. You must pilot the ship, the Sundog, to the various planets within this area of space and acquire the goods through buying and selling or other means, and deliver them to the colony when they are requested. Naturally, as you nonchalantly work on the contract, you will soon be involved in a bigger, more sinister plot that has the fate of the entire universe hang in the balance.
What makes Sundog a true classic as opposed to merely a good RPG is neither the brilliant plot development, or the excellent game mechanics, although it has plenty of both: it is the astounding level of detail. The detail in Sundog is staggering, and truly attests to this being a labor of love: the gameworld is fully realized at every level, from outer space to planetside where you can disembark from your ship into an armored car, and even out of the armored car into the streets. Each level of details is full of things you can interact with, from other ships in outerspace view, down to people inside various buildings at ground-base level.
Overall, there's really no fault I can find with Sundog, except that some ship-to-ship combat sequences toward the end are a bit too difficult, and there are not as many clues as I would like. Still, it is a masterpiece in every respect, and arguably a better game than FTL's better-known classic Dungeon Master that was made a few years later. If you are looking for a reason to install an Atari ST simulator, this is it.
Two thumbs up, way up!

As I remember it a relative left the ship to you upon his death with the requirement you find and bring supplies to build up the colony once you find it. The whole time you have to run enough cargo between ports to make a profit to trick out and keep the ship in good repair especially from pirates. Don't for get the bear spray.

This game absolutely ruled all. Played it on the Atari ST with my older brother. The colony is on the 1st world (Jonnd?) but you have to go explore in your pod to find it. The location changes with each game.
So many layers to it! Haggling for stuff, finding new planets, travelling from city to city, exploring new cities on foot or in your pod, space battles, running cargo for profit.
Way ahead of its time, I think! Guys over on Sourceforge have been working on a reboot that's in Alpha now, FYI.
Last tip! Get a ground scanner to be able to fly your ship from city to city.

I played this on the Apple II, though I was rarely successful at it. Never did find the lost colony. Such an amazing game though. Very sad it never got ported to the PC. Can anyone recommend a good emulator?
Kevin2012-12-070 point
ST version was awesome. Make sure to bribe and haggle people in bars to get the cloaker and other cool pirate parts for your ship. If I remember correctly, the point of the game is to find the lost colony and safely transport the cryo-frozen citizens there. Good luck, I could never find it. And don't forget to stock your pod up with burgers!

I got it running with the hatari emulator yesterday (7th October 2012).
It seems a bit buggy, some clicks with the mouse react strange (it looks like it doesn't always capture the mouse up event).
I'm looking forward to play it, but I wish I had a manual explaining things.
lwCoyote2012-05-070 point
I played this on the apple II and loved it. Gonna try the Atari ST version and see how it compares. Graphics look better, b ased on the screen shots. gogo monochrome!

It was originally written for the Apple II and then ported to the ST, people.

Actually, Sundog was also released on the Apple II, but the Atari ST version is rumored to be better.

Combat is a video game by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600. It was released as one of the nine launch titles for the system in September 1977, and was included in the box with the system from its introduction until 1982. Combat was based on two earlier black-and-white coin-operated arcade games produced by Atari: Tank (published under the Kee Games name) in 1974[1] and Jet Fighter in 1975.
Earlier in 1977, Coleco had released the similarly titled Telstar Combat!, an entry in its Telstar series of dedicated consoles. Unlike the Coleco game, Combat had color graphics and numerous gameplay variations. The 27 game modes featured a variety of different combat scenarios, including tanks, biplanes, and jet fighters. The tank games had options such as bouncing munitions ('Tank-Pong') and invisibility. The biplane and jet games also allowed for variation, such as multiple planes per player and an inventive game with a squadron of planes versus one giant bomber. Atari also produced a version of Combat for Sears titled Tank Plus (alluding to the original arcade game Tank). Combat was programmed by Joe Decuir and Larry Wagner.
Gameplay[edit]
Combat boasted having 27 games in one, which were all variations on the tank, biplane, and jet gameplay.[2][3][4]
Tank game[edit]
The 'Tank' game in Combat had the basis of two tanks controlled by players each moving around a playing field and shooting the other player until time ran out. The player with the higher score would win. There were various types of shots a player could have depending on which level they chose, including straight missiles, guided missiles, and 'Tank Pong' in which the shots would bounce off the walls, with variations upon whether a direct hit could strike their opponent, or a strike required a billiard hit. There was also an 'Invisible Tank' in which the players would be invisible except for a brief few seconds after firing, and 'Invisible Tank Pong' option. Along with the play styles there were also mazes to choose from including an empty field, a simple maze and a complex maze.

One notable (and perhaps unintentional) interaction that could be performed in the tank game consisted of bringing one tank up behind the opponent tank such that the cannon of the first was inserted into the rear cutout of the second. Once in this position, by rotating the first tank, a sprite collision could be triggered which would send the tanks into a wild 'jump', during which they usually would pass through obstacles, or leave the edge of the screen to enter on the other side.
Biplanes[edit]
Another set of level choices in Combat was 'Biplanes'. Unlike the tank version, this was played with three types of firing shots (straight-missile, guided missile, and machine guns). However, there were several different gameplay modes. Players had the option of fighting one on one, having a pair of biplanes each that moved and fired in tandem, or have one player control three tandem biplanes against one large bomber. The bomber's shot was an oversized projectile that otherwise behaved as a straight-missile. Instead of having mazes to fly through, there were two clouds in the middle of the stage that either player could fly into temporarily hiding them from view.
Jet[edit]
Very similar to the 'Biplanes' level was the 'Jets' option. In this mode, only straight missile and guided missiles were used. It still had the same map options and squadron options as the biplanes mode, with jets flying singly, two-on-two, or three-on-three.

Reception[edit]
The cartridge and its individual games were reviewed in Video magazine as part of a general review of the Atari VCS. Collectively the 'Tank' games (games 1–5) were praised for their sound effects and given a review score of 6 out of 10. The 'Tank'/'Pong' games (games 6–9) were scored a 7.5 out of 10, the 'Invisible Tank' games (games 10 and 11) were described as 'hard to get used to but interesting' and were scored a 6.5 out of 10, and the 'Invisible Tank'/'Pong' games (games 12–14) were scored a 7.5 out of 10. Both sets of 'Bi-Plane' games (Normal – games 15–18, and Fast – games 19 and 20) were scored a 6 out of 10 each and were described as 'not so different from the previous lot' (i.e. the 'Tank' and 'Pong' variations in games 1–14). The 'Jet-Fighter' games (games 21–27) also received a collective score of 6 out of 10 and were described as 'pretty much more of the same with different playing pieces'.[5]:32–33
Legacy[edit]
Atari developed a sequel to the popular Combat, originally announced in 1982, scheduled for release in 1984, but the video game crash of 1983 caused the game to be delayed and finally cancelled. While the game never hit store shelves, 250 copies of the prototype were produced in cartridge format and sold at Classic Gaming Expo in 2001. Atari finally officially released it on the Atari Flashback 2 dedicated console, in 2005. It has seen two subsequent releases: a 2011 Nintendo DS compilation Atari's Greatest Hits Volume II and a 2012 iPhone and Android app Atari Greatest Hits.
Combat 2 featured a more sophisticated version of the original's tank game, with tanks requiring multiple hits to destroy, and missile bases with an outer barrier which took many hits to chip through but the appropriate tank could hide within, and the ability to launch a large homing missile at very slow intervals. The game's single action button fired the tank's gun normally, but launched a missile if pressed while the tank was within the missile base. Destroying an opponent's missile base also eliminated all of their reserve tanks. The game took place in a forest environment divided by a river that could be crossed by either of two bridges. In some modes, the tanks could move under the trees and in others, the tanks were forced to go around or shoot their way through solid barriers. Some modes allowed each player to detail the placement of trees or barriers prior to the battle.
