The Atarist, 1989

This is me with my Atari 1040ST, the stoic's Amiga. 40MB hard drive on the right, above the everpresent coke can. I took this computer to Oxford with me, and spent many hours locked in the computer room, downloading all I could from ftp servers mirroring US Atari archives on the JANET network.

 

I spent one long summer with it, trying to create a game in the evenings while working at Kiddlington dairy during the day. That game later became Civilisation II, no, actually, I never finished it. It was a good game!
