🕹️ Atari ST 101: Accelerators // Power of Vintage
Tempus-Word is a 1990s word processor for the Atari ST that three decades later is still used and, although no longer maintained, is available for download and partially supported. Remarkably, the program has unique features modern word processors miss, see the Information page of the official site.
Yesterday I finally broke the current highscore on Level Up Score of 1943. I never liked this game, but thanks to the competition I had to play it now very often, and now I become a fan of the game.

Whitesmiths Idris for the Atari ST, an early Unix-like real-time operating system produced by Whitesmiths, has been fully recovered and now runs under emulation. Idris is a Unix variant I never heard of which ran on a variety of machines, even 8080 micros.

i will fix the original power supply... someday *fist shake*
for now it's always good to have a backup for a machine i was planning to show at meets 🤔
i have an Apple 12v power brick and a little buck converter board that claims 3A capacity
if i mathed right this all should be enough to power it
hooking up the 12v confirms we get sound and RF now

welp power supply in my beater 520ST died a quiet death, the obvious stuff is fine so it's something hard
running it off a lab supply, it will indeed boot up on 5v only, but we lack sound, RF output and probably serial
seems we need 12v 🤔

I found another Dice Waltz program, this time for the Atari ST (The Dice Waltz, by Chris Earnshaw). Its user interface is quirky, even by the standard of programs written in GfA BASIC. I couldn't get the soundchip output to record at the right speed, but it can generate MIDI files, so I overlaid that on a screenshot

How could I have missed it?
The Atari ST is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year! 🎂 🥳 🎉 (released in June 1985)
One of my favorite machines and so many good memories on my Atari 520 ST 🥰
Then I discovered FastCopy... and lots of other games! 💾 😇
My father and I still bought games from time to time (Journey to the Center of the Earth, King's Quest III, Zak McKracken, Future Wars for example)
🧵 3/
If my memory serves me correctly, I think the first Atari ST game my father bought was Space Station 🚀
I also remember owning Crafton & Xunk, Starglider, Captain Blood, Elite and others (see screenshots)
Do you remember your first games on Atari ST? 😀

The Atari ST hits 40: we remember Atari’s 16-bit micro and six of its best games
I’m sure there will be 100% agreement with the chosen titles, as ever. :D
