One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
I came along my Atari Falcon on Sweden's biggest online flea-market "Blocket" in 2011. Someone was selling an Atari Falcon with a 1 GB SCSI-harddrive, Cubase Audio and the Steinberg FDI, a unit that allows you to record sound directly to hard disk with the Falcon. Not many computers could do this back in the beginning of the 1990ies when the Falcon came, and those that could costed a fortune compared to the Falcon. I got all this for a real bargain price.
Before I bought this one I had put away my other Ataris in a storage room, and I guess I never really thought I'd ever own any of the computers I had dreamt of back in the 1990ies when I was a die-hard Atari fan. But buying this computer I realised that I now could buy all these computers that I dreamt of back then. So it is in reality the foundation of my current collection of retro computers.
It was in really excellent condition when I bought it. It even has the protecting plastic film over the logotype still. Since the guy I bought it from had used it for running Cubase Audio it had the internal hard disk removed, so I got a IDE-CF adapter for it. The clock battery was dead and the original fan was noisy so I also replaced these parts, and I also got a memory upgrade for it, a whopping 14 MB.

The Atari Trak-Ball is a trackball controller compatible with several Atari systems, including the 2600. It features two action buttons and a ball that can be spun in any direction for directional input. Games like Missile Command and Centipede used a trackball in their original arcade versions, giving arcade purists a strong incentive to use the Trak-Ball controller. Unfortunately, the Trak-Ball was not well supported and very few games actually used it in trackball mode. Trackballs offer more precise control than digital joysticks, but in modern controllers trackballs have been abandoned in favor of analog sticks.

Atari 2600, check! Impossibly white jeans, check! Seizure inducing BMX wallpaper, check! A photo from my joyous youth. Proof indeed that I grew up in the 1980s.
Atari ST tillverkades mellan 1985 och 1993, och var en hemdator som främst konkurrerade med Amiga 500 från Commodore. Den fanns i ett par olika modeller där den största skillnaden var mängden minne som datorn levererades med. Exempelvis fanns 520ST och STe och 1040ST och STe bestyckade med 512 respektive 1024kb minne vardera. I vissa modeller kunde man köpa till extra minne och montera själv. STe-modellerna utmärkte sig främst genom att dom var utrustade med "Blitter"-chip, större färgpalett och ljudchip med stöd för "DMA".

In 1978, Atari had considered using renowned educator Uncle Herbert to advertise their Basic Math cartridge but they chickened out and went with some other guy. No wonder the cartridge was a flop!
Found a handful of Atari 2600 cart manuals while cleaning out the backroom, they were all in pristine condition thanks to putting them in an old schoolbook.
Vive!!! Este fue una de los ultimos "ports" del cargador CAIN para Atari que hice cuando trabajaba en la Electronica Johanne's de Villa Alemana.
ATARI TEENAGE RIOT******
La leyenda viva del digital hardcore por primera y única vez en Buenos Aires

Esta es la síntesis casi perfecta. 1ero de mayo, 1999: Atari Teenage Riot,
a siete años de su creación, lo hace en vivo y vestido de negro en las
calles de su Berlín natal sobre el tráiler de un camión frente a más de 10
mil manifestantes contra el G8, en reclamo por el fin del capitalismo, la
brutalidad institucional y la liberación de prisioneros políticos. Detrás,
una guardia de 500 policías espera con bastones nerviosos y gases
lacrimógenos. Es un año cumbre para la banda: discos como “60-Second Wipe
Out” o su compilado histórico “Burn, Berlin, Burn!” para el sello Grand
Royal –a cargo de los Beastie Boys–, con himnos como “Start The Riot!”,
“Speed”, “Midijunkies” o “Into The Death” habían demostrado que la cruza de
guitarras thrash metal, el espíritu hardcore punk independentista y
anti-nazi, la decadencia clubber de Berlín misma y las exploraciones
industriales y noise (digital hardcore es el término) podían redefinir la
historia de la música electrónica, con colaboraciones épicas en el
horizonte junto a Slayer y Tom Morello de Rage Against The Machine.****
De vuelta en el tráiler, la policía ataca a los manifestantes con golpizas
individuales. Atari Teenage Riot no se detiene: Alec Empire, su cantante y
líder, incita a los manifestantes a devolver el golpe. Para la banda, todo
termina en el asiento de atrás de un patrullero. Eso no detuvo a Atari
Teenage Riot tampoco. Y en una era en donde DJs como Paul Oakenfold
predicaba el hedonismo Creamfields y The Prodigy no era más que un montón
de estrellas de rock, ATR, en su visión del futuro apocalíptico no tan
lejana de escritores como Philip K. Dick o William Gibson que es el
presente mismo, le daba el cuerpo y su seguridad jurídica a su propia
revolución.****
Hoy y desde 2010, la banda está de vuelta con Empire al frente –uno de los
músicos electrónicos más inquietos, con proyectos paralelos como The Curse
of the Golden Vampire y su extenso catálogo solista más remixes para Björk,
Primal Scream o Thurston Moore de Sonic Youth, entre otros–, su
programadora Nic Endo y un nuevo MC, CX Kidtronik, que reemplaza a Carl
Crack, hallado muerto en 2001. Y el discurso no baja un cambio. Hay nuevo
disco también, “Is This Hyperreal?”, editado en 2011 por Dim Mak Records,
del DJ y entrepeneur Steve Aoki más un single en apoyo a WikiLeaks, “Black
Flags”, con sus remixes disponibles en iTunes.****
Y este 15 de marzo en Niceto Club y presentado por Scatter Records, ATR, en
pleno tour latinoamericano y antes de su aparición en el festival
Coachella, promete en su debut porteño uno de los tickets más cruciales de
2012.****
BANG YOUR HEAD!****
The first game in the series was released in 1990 for most popular contemporary 8-bit and 16-bit computer systems, the Amiga version being the most technically advanced. The game allowed the player to race a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE car through several (32 in the Amiga version) circuit race tracks of varying scenery. Two player simultaneous play (with split screen) was also provided, and a choice of audio tracks to accompany races.
Each track is lap-based and consists of turns of varying degrees, as well as hills and hollows which slow down or speed up the car passing through them. Each turn is indicated by a chain of road-side signs, and the difficulty of the turn is reflected by the number and density of these signs - a feature common to all titles in the Lotus series.
So I got this Atari 2600 clone, it's builted in a Famicom shell. At first glance you could get confused but once you see the size of the cart slot you realize that in fact is an atari 2600.

The Atari 1010 Cassette Recorder was my first method of saving programs I wrote. It could be a very frustrating device at times.
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!
Graffiti based on old school atari game system. LOVE the colors of the original package design and the whole concept of futurism when it first came out.
