Some of my Atari 7800 games. Crystal Quest is really nice and I have to say I'm pretty excited to get Tiger Heli when it'll be released this summer. Heck, I might even consider buying a 7800+ and use it with my trusty (cheap) HDMI2AV converter on a CRT.
Nie ma to jak w rozmowę wpleść #atari , #rave i poezję :)

Since Deuce added Atari ST/VT52 support to SyncTerm, I've been revisiting several ST BBS door games. I was particularly taken by DDST (as in "D&D").
It's a pretty good adventure game and it uses VT52 colors effectively, particularly a screen-flashing effect. It can be frustrating, but you *can* make progress, and it has good features you don't often see in door games (like "Save"!).
Well, this morning I finally beat it!
Interesting (and touching) article about Salmon Run, first game by Bill Williams for #Atari8bit computers https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/04/how-a-1980s-atari-creator-with-cystic-fibrosis-crafted-a-story-of-salmon-survival/ #atari #retrogames @arstechnica

For anyone who wasn't able to call in to Dark Force BBS yesterday to see Dark Lord's April Fools' Day prank, here's a video capture of my session.
Something simple, fun, and unexpected.

Atari was into everything in the 80s, even comics!

Deater's take on the first parts of the Atari XL/XE "Rewind 2" demo on the enhanced 128K Apple IIe with Mockingboard.
The sysop of DarkForce BBS customized his board today for April Fools' Day. Telnet to darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org:1040 to check it out!
It's an Atari ST BBS, so I recommend using SyncTerm's new VT52 mode for an authentic experience.
In #hannover gibt es mit dem hi-score ein #retrogaming #museum mit einer ganz exzellenten Sammlung an original #hardware
Ich habe da allerdings 2 Dinge gelernt. Erstens, die Peripheriegeräte waren schon damals nicht besonders hochwertig. Zweitens, die sind in den letzten 40 Jahren nicht besser geworden.
Zum 2600er #atari gibt es übrigens eine ganz hervorragende Folge vom Stay Forever Technik #podcast
