The new Atari ST version of the wonderful classic "Yoomp" by Dekadence is now subject to the current round of the "ST Offline Tournament" (STOT) - a monthly gaming competition being held on a monthly base on Atari-forum.com. The tournament rules can be summarized simply as: use your beloved ST (or emulator for the bad boys) to play a selected ST game in a fair but competitive surrounding, take photos of your CRT with the highscore and post them in the respective forum thread. The game is played for a month and the STOT organizer, Thorn, is managing the score table in the forum thread. Thanks for all this at this point! :-)
STOT is running since 2007 but fell in a slight winter sleep the past years. It's really refreshing to see a revival of the tournament with up to 11 participants in the last rounds. Sometimes game developers themselves adopt their games for the tournament or take part playing even (e.g. with Randominer, Faster or Chroma Grid). But no worries, if they are too good, they get disqualified ;) However, the format is a really nice opportunity to test and play new games and unknown classics and enjoy using the real hardware with others. Feel free to join the common experience of STOT anytime!
Currently chronicthehedhog leads the Yoomp excess with crazy 3.471 points, followed by wietze with 3.115 points. But we still have about two weeks to go.
