Title: Zombie Apocalypse on the Atari?
Post by: odin on November 24, 2003, 06:20:27 AM

Here (http://www.myatari.net/issues/nov2003/zombie.htm)
Was Blitz Basic also ported to the Atari? Or has Vision software connections with the Atari ST?

As far as I know, Blitz was/is not available on the ST. This conversion was done by Bod of Stax, which probably has no connection to Vision software (which did Z.A.) I think the source for the game was avaiable in Blitz format as example code, so it wouldn't have been too hard to code for something else.

With the Bliz source code, rewriting it in STOS would have been easy!
