  • YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

  • You get slower as you get older.

  • there was a game very much like this on st, it was also full screen but you could scroll left and right a little bit as well (bit jerky left+right). i seem to recall mastertronic? any idea

  • It could be Sidewinder you're thinking of.

  • Great title music, but this version makes the same mistake as the C64's - tries continuing the music during the game itself, but has to keep dropping parts of the melody to fit even the single-chennel effects into the limited number of channels. Annoying as heck. The Atari 800 version had the music on the title page only and dedicated all four channels to provide a mass of satisfyingly noisy arcade-style sound effects. A trade off, but I don't think you can have both at the same time...

  • Yeah it drops one of the channels so it can do the sound effects. That's why I uploaded a video of the title screen with the full music on.

  • High definition at its finest.

  • That game had great soundtrack, sometimes I launched Warhawk on my C64 only to listen to music.

  • at last i could see again this little gem...20 years later!

    it completes my chilhood memories ;)

    thanks for that!

  • What the hell? Never knew they made it on the Atari ST?! Loved it on the C64. Someone should make longplays of more obscure ST games, like Sinbad, for example...

  • Thx for uploading this.

    Never played it on 16bit systems. Is it only my impression, or is it a little slow/lame/easy if you compare it to 800XL or C64?

  • There is PS3 version too ;-)

  • I loved this game! Funny thing is, I never played it much on my ST. In 1997 or so, I got a P133 and started running Pacifist on it, and found myself playing more Atari games there. I downloaded Warkhawk from somewhere and finished it in Pacifist back then. Good memories!

  • I've just uploaded some C64 videos of this game (including one for just the music) I agree with NotaTube above, it is annyoing how the music doesn't work as well in the game, as the soundtrack is awesome! I'd never seen the Atari ST version before now, it looks nicer than the C64 one but seems slower. Still a great vid though! :0)
