I think Commodore should have christened this the C64-RX for glasses prescription. With that said, the images from CGE of the proposed XE version are pretty sweet.

The posting police, they live inside of my head. The posting police, they come to me in my bed. The posting police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no. Tempest That's funny. The only problem is now I'm going to have that song in my head all day..

I have the STart disk with FujiBoink on it. There were two steps that you had to follow to get a working demo. Here is a link to the Atari Magazines STart article on the demo. I attached the STart disk from their site. http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv1n2/Fujiboink.html V1N2.zip

I have seen that movie a hundred times and I don't remember the active content removed scene at all?

Its full width 160B (160 pixels across) with 25 colours per video scan line. The best MARIA can do . Great work GB. Any chance of a youtube video at some point?

It never ceases to amaze me what people find at garage sales and thrift shops. Could you let me know when you and your Wife might be in Georgia, because I can't find a blasted thing down here.

Could someone post this for me? The main site is currently offline due to hosting issues and there is no ETA when it will be back. Thanks

Can you use a standard joystick with one hand?

For those with Usenet access with good retention rates these are available in the usual groups.

Sorry if I've missed it, but could you point me to the MacOS version? I've looked all over this site and haven't found it. Also, do you know if Geoff Oltmans has a site to track his progress with this emu? Actually ADAMem has been configured to work thru DOSbox by Steve Pitman (author of such great ADAM games as MicroChip, ADAM Bomb and ADAM Bomb II). Steve has written a full-featured frontend called Virtual ADAM that uses DOSbox to run ADAMem and it works great on XP and Vista (don't have Windows 7 on any of my systems but it should work on it as well) with full sound and USB gamepad/joystick support. There are some conflicts with ALT+key combinations for swapping disk/ddp images, but on the whole I have been using it for about 5 months now as it's the best option for ADAM emulation for people with newer versions of Windows. You can download it from Joe Blenkle's ADAM Computer Webpage in the downloads section, the current version is 1.03. Also, check out the link on his page for PDF'ed ADAM Users Group newletters if your interested in A LOT of info on the ADAM, there are about 160 available on his site and a large, but not complete, listing with screenshots of ADAM and Coleco software. http://www.sacnews.net/adamcomputer/index.html Jim Notini I've got to agree. Thanks to Steve Pitman for a great front end for ADAM in Windows(via Dosbox). I've used it for a while now and it takes out the clunkyness of using ADAMem. Some great features do go along with it. Bravo Steve and thanks. Chuck Could someone post v1.01 and v1.02 of Virtual Adam? Thanks.

I'm with ya on the 1010's. My original 410 is still motoring. The XC11 looks like its in an ST disk drive.

I think they should have gone with Have You Played Atari Today.

My friends with Colecos would come over to my house to play the 8-Bit version. To me, there can be no higher praise than that. Thanks again Landon.

I would say my 800 rivals the output of my 130XE.

Very nice. This game is a long time coming for the 8 bit.

Thanks for yet another great collection of Atari magazines/books.

You're right the ST is the same way. The librarian of our user group tried several times back in the day to accomplish this and he had a modicum of success. He eventually removed the HD drive and put the ST drive back in because it was causing too many read/write errors and it wasn't worth the trouble. Not sure which brand he used but I recall he tried several.

Amazing and a damn crime. Venture has to be one of the most underrated video games. At least in my area growing up I never once had an issue of waiting in line for this game. Good times.

Good luck with this Allan. In my experience these are probably the hardest disks to come by for the US based ST magazines. ST-Log Issue 31 (1989-05)(LFP Publishing).zip

The ST is the ultimate example of it's poor musician who blames his instrument. The programmers that knew how to exploit the hardware produced some pretty damn good games.

Well I was looking to retire.... Heh I haven't added up my costs yet.. It will be cheap though.. under 10 bucks total (that is including shipping as well). How about $8.50 to the U.S. and $9.50 outside the U.S. You could always get the online store back up and I could ship the headache to you Wow. Very impressive. Put me down for a set.

Not really. Magazines did make an issue of comparing the 260ST/130ST and the C128 however. I can scan in a specific article from Personal Computer World if anyone is interested? RE: CPUs the ST had a 16/32bit CPU @ 8mhz. The IIGS had an 8/16bit CPU. Major difference really, and why the IIGS Finder ran slower than the Mac Finder given that it effectively had to only manipulate one bitplane and had 10x the CPU grunt (as did the ST) The sound hardware in the IIGS was designed by Bob Yannes of MOS Technology fame (designer of the SID chip) As for the games issue, Apple II/IIc/IIe games were rubbish, it would be like an ST running VCS games (of no real interest to the general public who bought an ST/IIGS to run ST/IIGS games) IIGS is still better than a Mac, overpriced however as usual with all Apple computers from the first Apple 1 to the latest Macbooks I didn't know that Yannes co-founded Ensoniq. I guess he really outsidded himself with the IIGS.

Still waiting for the inevitable Freddy Vs Jason Vs Predator Vs Alien Vs ST thread. whew...

I think a fisher price xylophone had an ST beat on sound. That said, the IIGS had the Amiga beat on sound as well.

Hmm, TT 32mhz CPU... A3000 25mhz CPU... Hmm, looks comparable to me! A 25mhz 040 stomps the crap out of a 32mhz 030.. And lets not forget that the TT's system bus runs at 16mhz, with a cache setup for the processor which is running a 32mhz.. Lets also not forget that the POS didnt multitask (until the later 1993 release of Multi-TOS which still didnt do it effectively).. I guess you could order it with atari's proprietary xNIX OS, but then where would your ST software compatability be? Bottom line.. The AMIGA 3000 was part of a fairly robust platform of full 32bit machines that continued for a couple of generations (until the demise of Commodore).. The TT was a one of a kind machine that was classified by everyone as "too little, too late" when compared with existing 32bit Macs & AMIGAs of the day.. It never got more than a "trickle" of (tt mode) software support, and even less on the third party hardware development scene.. You cannot compare this to the AMIGAs of the day.. Like I said.. Nice collector's piece.. I sure hope by the term POS you are referring to Positively Outstanding System.
