+Stephen Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yeah - it's on my watchlist, but at already $66 with a full 6 days left, no way in hell am I going to bid. IF I bid and win, the ROM will be posted within minutes of when I receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xebec's Demise Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Have any of you asked Philip Price for an interview? He basically reverse engineered the Atari 800, teaching himself how to code and developed an amazing 3D game in 1985 called Alternate Reality, he then went on to code for the B2 stealth bomber. Here's an old interview: https://dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/PRICE.HTM Edited October 8, 2023 by Xebec's Demise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking Max up on Google led me to your interview and I just made the connection when he mentioned the genealogy program. I didn't attempt to locate him or anything.

Lostdragon Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 On 1/22/2017 at 4:36 PM, Savetz said: Steve Gerber, VP of International New Product Development http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-268-steve-gerber-vp-of-international-new-product-development Steve Gerber was head of the Atari Software Acquisition Program. In October 1981, Atari opened its first Regional Software Acquisition Center, managed by Steve, in a 4,000 square-foot location that also housed the Atari Program Exchange (APX). Later Steve was Atari's VP of International New Product Development, in charge of software development for non-US markets. This interview took place on January 17, 2017. Teaser quote: "I had these guys that were in a barn that was built in 1100-something that had set it up to be their "office" somewhere in northern England, in the middle of nowhere. They had come up with a ... baseball cap that you'd put on and you could move the cursor with your eyes." Downloaded for a listen later, as Steve mentioned as the Atari UK Source regarding these.

It appeared in the fall 1983 APX catalog. This interview took place on March 16, 2016. Teaser quote: "It took a couple revisions back and forth. The program was fine; getting the documentation right, and yet have them be happy with it, was a little frustrating. But managed to get it done." 7.5 years later, here's the source code for Space War: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This program was likely available for the Atari: https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED263913/page/n122/mode/1up Not that I believe any copies still exist but it would be great to have some sort of confirmation an Atari version was produced (along with further modules).

I will have to check the archives to get additional information. We may still have a copy or two. The title was sold to the school market." I'll let you know more when I know more.
