A great game from 1979. Wish I had one of these machines, it was actually a lot of fun and a decent workout until you had enough of the track ball pinching your hand.

Once upon a time there was this thing called Atari

The Gotek Floppy-Emulator has arrived! 8-)

10. Januar 2015 - "Atari - die guten Jahre". Kleine Ausstellung in Offenbach (Digital Retro Park)

Atari can write his name. He's 4 years old. And he loves to read Dr. Seuss's books.

This is the all black version (no long rainbow stripe), I hear only sold in Ireland, so how I got one in Nottingham I don't know.

Atari Steering Wheel

Used in Championship Sprint, other games: $30.00

In moderately good condition.

Here we can see the atari 1040ste that was the last atari 16 bit computer I owned.

520stfm was my first.

It has the ICD hard disk attached that was partitioned into 16mb segments so that TOS could read it.

I also have the 51/4 inch drive as a floppy backup.

Complete with teletext decoder and tv input this was the bees knees.

I stayed way too long on the atari platform before moving to the 32 bit amiga 1200 next to it.

You can also see Captain scarlet's boots, a stellar projector and an old alarm clock .

First Gotek testing in Atari 1040STF, basic version.

Recording the CD 'Look: Nederlands!'

After working with the Atari for a years I stopped using computers, synths and MIDI for a really long time. Only trying to do things live. Pure :)

... a few years ago :)

E.T. at the landfill

From the Atari ST, the game was ported to the Amiga, Commodore 64, DOS, MSX, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum. The release year for the ports was 1988, except for the Amiga version which was also released in 1987 with the Atari ST version

Made in 1980...almost 30 years old!

An ebay-purchase in quite good condition. Consistent yellowing of course. But a good base for a Gotek floppy-emulator. ;-)

Second Gotek testing, with LCD and rotary-selector. Works like a charme! ;-)

Tetris. We've all played it. We've all had that addiction at one point, and it's still ready to re-get hold of you any time you give it the chance.

Obviously a lot of the credit to Tetris being the phenomenon it is the fact it came bundled with Game Boy's, or actually...a lot of the credit for Game Boy's success is thanks to Tetris, had Nintendo not managed to convince the license holders in Soviet Russia to allow them to use Tetris then things could have been a lot different for the Game Boy, and perhaps Tetris would not of had a platform to kick start it into super stardom.

Such a simple yet captivating puzzle game, that really needs no further explanation.

You'll find it hard to find a single video game platform that "Tetris" hasn't been on, and I continue to keep ending up with more and more versions of it as time goes on with no regrets.

...and who can forget the original "Tetris - Type A" theme on Game Boy, a constant song that comes up when my minds on shuffle and I need something random to hum.
