ANALOG Computing October 1986

With the 8-bit Atari family tree drawn out on its cover, this issue interviewed Atari's product manager of the XE line (who did say a bit about the ST as well). Lee H. Pappas' editorial insisted ANALOG was sticking with the earlier Ataris even as people complained about the "Paperweight" program and interpreted covers as having 8-bit Ataris "being hacked apart, dissolving, or shrinking into oblivion." An article discussed how to make the best use of computer paint programs, using the graphic adapted from Star Trek on the ST-log cover to show what could be done with palette changes.

The past few years, Slor has done an exhibit at VCFMW of his prized Atari computers (among other things).  In particular, there’s a really fun game he wrote called AtariNet for the Atari 1200XL (and I think 600XL? I don’t really know much about intercompatibility of their late 8-bit offerings).  He’s sold cartridges of the game, and I’ve found it to be incredibly addictive.  One problem: I can’t play it without a compatible Atari machine.  

I discovered that he released a Commodore 64 port of the game, and rebranded it as RetroNet! You can download both versions here: http://www.atarinet.com/ It plays with keyboard, joystick, or mouse on the C64.  You can imagine how happy I have to have found this.  Try it out, it’s awesome!

Atari-1200XL

1982– After a decent success of the Atari 400/800 line the company noticed the console was looking a little “old”. After all, the Atari 400 actually discolors upon UV light. The 400’s non-tactile keyboard was replaced with the 800’s raised key keyboard. Still, Atari felt they needed to bring this personal computer into the 80’s.Therefore, the 1200XL was born. It was a hybrid…
