[comp.sys.atari.st] Has anyone heard of these games?

RAD2@NS.CC.LEHIGH.EDU (Raymond Alexander Dixon) (05/12/91)

I am trying to find out whether a few games that were for the Atari are
still around. The games in question are: The Return of Heracles,
Excalibur and M.U.L.E.  These games came out several years ago, but I
can't remember who made them.  If anyone out there knows who made these
and/or if they are still available, I would greatly appreciate knowing.
 Thanks.

I was wondering if Wing Commander is available for the ST, or anything like it.
I am sure it can be done, has anyone ever seen this game on a PC?  It is really
cool looking with great animation and great gameplay...been wanting to get a 
copy for my ST...However it takes up over 5 meg of hard disk space...

It was stated in ST Report a few issues ago, by Origin Systems (makers of 
WC), that an ST version is *not* being planned in the near future.  You 
could also imagine my horror & disappointment when I heard that.  I 
wanted so badly to see that game on the ST also.  Que sera, sera!

There is a thread on GENIE about a guy writing a MULE-like game called
Dromedary.  Looks pretty good.  I'll see if I can't upload some of
his messages about his game.  He's expressed an interest in makeing
a demo.
