This guy GETS IT. Playing the #Atari VCS wasn’t cheerful happy cartoon time; it was interacting with a barely-digital, barely-stable alien artifact playing back unfiltered garbled inhuman programming from some other time and place. It was not made to display hew-mon text and did not build orderly graphics out of tiles.

Of course it was just a toy, but it was also seriously gritty sci-fi. Not because what you saw on your TV looked like what these things would look like in reality, but because it was as if you were operating a tactical display on an ancient derelict alien starship.

Made an interactive #Atari 8-bit sound tutorial by translating my NES driver for the #POKEY:
https://bobbicodes.codeberg.page/nerdyPOKEY/

It builds up a basic sound driver in 6502 assembly in 9 incremental steps, from playing a single note to a simple tune. Uses my own custom assembler and the ASAP player for the CPU and POKEY emulation.

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I released my many years in the making Atari ST game.

"Galactic Panic: A Questionable Adventure" is a lighthearted point-and-click game, payable in English and French.

It should work on any ST, STE or Falcon030. A HDD is required!

Get it from https://insert-studio-name.itch.io/galactic-panic

It's free! Donations are welcome though.

A gif composed of 5 cycling screenshots of the game "Galactic Panic". It's picturing a point & click game in the LucasArt style (a moveable character in front of a background with a list of commands and an inventory at the bottom of the screen). It has a pixel art aesthetic and is playable in a 320 per 240 pixel resolution. On each screenshot we can see the protagonist in different locations to get an idea of how the game looks.

Recently, @ @elbsides#Mikko#Hyppönnen mentioned during his keynote a band called "Master Boot Record" (supposed to be a metal band but IMO most of the time sounds like prosa metal) . And on stage they seem to have an #Atari 1040 or #Amiga.

On stage they show DOS screens in the background and another time: Doom 😃 Have a look @ the track list below
