Albert Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks go out to Curt Vendel of the Atari Museum, who has posted the source code to several Atari 7800 games. These games were rescued by Curt from Atari ST format diskettes that were thrown out behind 1196 Borregas Avenue (Atari's corporate headquarters at the time) when Atari closed up in 1996. You can browse the source code that's been posted over on the 7800 Games and Development page on AtariMuseum.com. There have been many great 7800 homebrew releases in the past few years, and having source code of this nature will only further help homebrew efforts along. For more information about the 7800, there is a wealth of great information about the system (technical and otherwise) at the Atari Museum's in-depth Atari 7800 Pro System section. Yes, I know there is a previous discussion, but did not want to provide convenient links to the site that posted all of this source on their site without even initially crediting AtariMuseum.com. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarifan49 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 There must be some really cool things on the website. I currently cannot get Atari Museum to respond to a web request. It's currently down hard. Anyone else have any luck? Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Apocalypse Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Did a new twitter search on "atari 7800" here and found a tweeted link to the following page also providing the labels and source (crediting atarimuseum, but it is mispelled in the page): http://www.programmerfish.com/source-code-...games-released/ just fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Propane13 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Anyone look at the comments in the Desert Falcon source code? It's good for a chuckle. I personally prefer some of the RAM comments for SDEF.S I didn't check other source code, but are they "as colorful?" -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
