DARKWAR MAGNETS ATARI ST 2.12.2024




This is a game for ATARI ST mono emulators. It is made with GFA-BASIC and GBE. It is not tested on a real machine and it is possible, that it can't be run on it. You can try to run DAWMGNAT.PRG or DAWMGNAT.GFA in a GFA BASIC interpreter. DAWMGNAT.PRG runs with the emulator hatari 1.8.0 and its built-in EmuTOS-image (https://hatari.tuxfamily.org/download.html). GFA BASIC was chosen as programming language to write a program compatible to EmuTOS. The game can also be run with hataroid and its built-in EmuTOS-image. hataroid is available for Android devices. The .LST file was written with the Windows X editor and merged and compiled with the programs coming with GBE. GBE ran with the operating system FreeMint 1.19 and the emulator ARAnyM 1.1.0 and the result was tested with the ATARI emulator hatari 1.8.0.
