Back in 1990, when i was 13, my father gave me an Atari 800 xl. This is a (very) Basic program I made using the highest graphical capacity of 300x190 px.
In a tv, the output seems to have pixels in white, red and blue, but the graphic is actually made in just one color.
And see the video here.
so totally obsessed with this girl!
thanks so much to irene for letting me adopt her!

Here comes my entry for round 3 of RogueOlympics 2023.
This time the subject is "Risiko" (risk).
What can be riskier than being a frog who wants to find his way home?
Welcome in the year 1982 when Atari VCSruled the (gamer's) world!
This is my reminiscence to Frogger - a very popular video game at that time.
I played it until my fingers got numb. Oh, happy days...
Enjoy!

Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.

Another inspirational post on my blog.
Where would we be without them? Atari exploded onto the gaming scene in 1977 and pioneered an entire new genre of entertainment with both arcade games and a home video gaming system, the Atari 2600. With this monumental success came an entire spread of amazing screen and print design that defined the bright colorful style of the late 70s.
I'm teaching my daughter to play Go. I personally prefer Go to Chess; it's rules are simpler but the game is no less complex.
In composing this image, I struggled to find a way to make the flat game board look less..well...flat. In the end, I decided to make the image with my widest (17mm) lens positioned at its minimum focusing distance of 11 inches from the nearest stones. Going wide certainly exaggerated the proportions of the subject and gave it a more three dimensional quality, but it added an interesting complication. I strongly prefer simple images with uncluttered backgrounds, but despite the closeness of the subject, my wide angle lens saw just about everything in my cluttered living room. To keep the background dark I laid about 100 square feet of black drop cloth on the floor and boomed my key light (a 24 inch softbox) very close directly above the the subject to maximize light falloff away from the subject.
I've written more about how lens focal length affects the look of backgrounds in this blog entry.
