I had a couple of Atari ST computers in the '80s and remember them fondly. They were powered by this Motorola 68000 chip. #pcgaming #vintagepc #atari

Mi juego para I, REBEL: A JEFF MINTER GAME JAM por Atari

La semana pasada participé de este concurso de desarrollo de un videojuego. Estuvo bastante divertido y algunas personas me han dicho que el resultado es divertido, lo que me hace inmensamente feliz.

Lenny the Ninja, original Amiga tune converted for #Atari8bit computers https://youtu.be/4AJ3axBN_8w #atari #chiptune

Looking at the 10-liners that were entered, I am more convinced that

A) FastBasic is too modern , it's just an assembly loader. UGBasic seems OK?

B) I should be able to get my Atari PM sprite demo whipped into a game next year, it just takes some creative rewriting.

C) If nothing else, go back to my char graphics games, which are cheap but can be fun.

D) Snail Race may be the best game ever on C-64. Barcode Battle may be the best game ever on Spectrum.

J'ai réparé mon imprimante matricielle !
C'est une Star LC-10, elle imprimait un début de ligne et le chariot se bloquait avant que l'imprimante ne se mette en erreur.
J'ai vérifié l'alimentation, la commande du moteur du chariot, RAS.
Au final c'était un problème mécanique, j'ai graissé les éléments mobiles du chariot et j'ai fait tourner le ruban encreur dans sa cartouche avec une visseuse électrique, et ça m'a l'air bon maintenant !

Listening to very old (up to 2011 currently) Open Apple podcasts, and they have a listener question I've asked for years:
Why is there so little public Apple ][ fan stuff and online material?

There's preserved stuff, a few emulators, people buying old machines & disks for $$$, but nothing like the many Atari & C= sites & rabid fandom.

The hosts blame it on numbers, but that didn't make sense, Apple sold more than Atari did, right?

@drwho Hiya!

Are you perchance the same as the person (I almost called you a gent when I have NO idea. You could be Spivak :) on IRC #Atari asking about my TNFS server?

Thanks for checking in. This is the first piece of positive feedback or actual interest I've ever seen in the project.

It got taken down from the TNFS site directory at one point and the only other feedback I'd ever gotten is "disorganized" :)

I wish I had the time to really sit down and try to algorithmically map out how to filter @internetarchive's Atari collection into more human navigable categories, but my time has been drawn in other directions with work getting busy and my feeling the pressure to hardcore amp up my skills in case this amazing MIT job I love so much evaporates :)

Do you actually get real use out of the site? If I thought it had anything like a user base I'd be much more attentive.

One frustration I've had with the TNFS server software (another thing I'd love time to hack on! :) is that there's no way to even get a sense of the magnitude of actual users.

Anyway I checked and the TNFS server is emitting this over and over:

WARNING: unable to accept TCP connection

But it's back online. I ran the IA update software so it should get refreshed with the latest and greatest.

Pardon this got long. Have a great night and again thanks for checking in!

I need a momentary button switch (a reset button) that can solder into one of these through-hole pairs, more often used for jumper pins. I can't find any with simply through pins - such buttons always have the rounded fin connectors with an in-bored hole.

Anyone know where I can find such a button? Thanks.

I got a second Fantastic Game cart, but it doesn't have the same game list I wanted to play Chess, but it is Othello #retro #retrogaming #atari #atari2600

So, I decided to start a new Substack but this time focus on retro gaming: https://www.levelupretro.net/p/journey-through-a-post-apocalyptic

Well, @llamasoft_ox and @gilesgoat have supassed themselves with I, Robot. I popped into #PSVR2 to see what it was like, and emerged three hours later, only because the eldest has a swimming class to get to.

Shades of Hovver Bovver and Tempest, with an assault on the senses that has paved neural pathways I never knew I had.

Wonderful balance of puzzle solving and frantic arcade fury, all discovered through cyber-dream logic.

Masterpiece.
