Atari ST Cisco Heat and the Hidden STe Upgrade + Amiga and PC Versions: ST Show

ublished by Image Works and coded by the technical geniuses at ICE Software, this legendary arcade police-chase port transformed completely based on the host system. While the standard ST version was heavily compromised, running it on an STe automatically unleashes the Blitter chip to handle the faster pseudo-3D road scaling. Simultaneously, the game routes 4 channel stero samples and chip tune music mixed with 8-bit stereo DMA hardware at 12.5 kHz, achieving a presentation that matches or that meets or slightly exceeds Amiga version. It should be noted that although I love this conversion on both Amiga and Ste, the Amiga version isn’t held in high regard by many who remember it.
