Sopwith - A 40 Year old MS-DOS game finally comes to the Atari ST!
[ Atariscne.org - News ] Sopwith - A 40 Year old MS-DOS game finally comes to the Atari ST!
Some more old ‘new game’ news is heading our way.
This unexpected gift comes courtesy of Neil Rackett of Mesmotronic, who created the 3D model of an ST running in a browser window.
This time, he’s ported an ancient MS-DOS game ‘Sopwith’ to the ST.
It features intense biplane action through charmingly retro vector style graphics and arcade style gameplay, with characteristic MS-DOS beepy early PC sound. Interestingly, this game was going to get a dedicated ST version back in the day, but this did not happen, until now.
It can be downloaded from his Github repository. Good luck figuring out the controls!
