Retro HQ's James Boulton/SainT of Jaguar GameDrive fame and co-author of an Atari ST emulator of the same name - yes, now you have to guess which name that could be - can't shake his Atari ST roots apparently.

For reasons unbeknownst to us he started to port Dragon's Lair videos (with audio) to our beloved ST - in fullscreen. And as if to make things even more mouth watering, with 4096 colors (supposedly 16 colors per display line) while still having CPU to spare for "game logic" (not my words, mind you, a mere citation).

No borders? Eeeeek!

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the author of this little news piece for one is excited to see this game in fullscreen glory. Heck. Fullscreen.

And as any sensible and self-respecting Atari ST programmer nowadays, SainT developed his own dev hardware in the process (which seems to be UltraDev-light-ish by the looks of it and is planned to be open source). Of course he did.

Doubly yummy then.

🔗See that fullscreen extravaganza for yourself (on a microblogging platform that shall not be named)

🔗And while he's at it: new dev hardware!

Wow, this look so good! Fullscreen and with so many colors? Amazing work. Too bad he only published on this social network though.

Dragon's Lair (and Space Ace) completely blew my mind as a kid completely obsessed with the arcade.  It only took a few pound coins to realise it was slightly shite in it's gameplay, but who cares!  It always gathered a crowd when you saw someone who actually knew how to play the bloody thing!

I think I had a "Space Ace" demo disk back in the days. It looked amazing but I never understood what this was about. I still don't!
