Marty aka ST Graveyard and his team from Atari-legend.com published the full version of their thorough investigation about the Atari STE and Falcon game "The Ultimate Arena". The game has been an actual homebrew wonder of the mid-90 era, when Atari STE game development was generally taken a big step forward and the Falcon game sphere was not fully explored. It was highly anticipated and exceptional, as it was a serious attempt to bring "Mortal Kombat" gameplay to the Atari, including digitized game characters and sound.

Atari-legend's documentary dives deeply into the topic with it's typical, unmatched precision and production quality. The half hour video reportage emphasizes the individual achievement as well as the motivation, production process and outcome of the game, including personal notes of the game creator. It is an amazing travel back in times, when home computers still were machines to make dreams come true. The text script for the production is provided as well. Highly recommended!

I remember the demo version but just love how the maker made an effort and apparantly just lived his dream in those classic computer times.

So much dedication! Incredible. I love that the video mentioned all the software that we used for creating the game. Neon, Truepaint... Super interesting insights, and really nice story-telling as well.
