Zeus presents The Chaos Engine (un-emulated) for the Atari STE, a true classic from the golden era of Atari gaming which must not be forgotten alongside the software house and all programmers that were involved in making this game.

Year of release: 1993

Well I think It's safe to say that no other version of this game would be able to touch the Amiga version, Snes came close but was still way behind, sadly this Atari STE version does fall behind like the other versions too but more so for this and it really boils down to two main reasons, the first is there is no in-game music making the game feel very empty as far as the atmospheric element goes,...and the second is there is no awesome speech like It's Amiga conterpart, it just feels so hollow without the likes of "NODE ACTIVATED", "PARTY POWER", "PLAYER SAFE", "FOOD" and "LEVEL COMPLETE" being spoken which also makes me think there isn't any speech on the ending.
For an STE version I expected better, tha graphics are very close indeed to the Amiga version but sadly the lack of in-game music and speech just makes it feel empty and hollow in comparrison.

I hope all you Atari ST fans enjoy this upload.
