Over on Break Into Chat, I've added a special collection of eight club newsletters from the Atari Computer Enthusiasts of St. Louis (ACE-St. Louis).

My dad and I were on-and-off members of this club in the early 1990s, and eventually I became a disk librarian and a newsletter contributor.

@haitchfive @feditips it should be possible when the core stack is offloaded. My #atari8bit is online :) As you say, Spectranet is not widely used but maybe provides some options.

How did I not know Draconus had 4 releases? Next you’ll be saying Zybex had a sequel… http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari_search_68.114.97.99.111.110.117.115._8_G.html #atari8bit

M.U.L.E. Turns 40
Dani Bunten's classic economic simulation M.U.L.E. is one of the all-time greats, still fairly obscure even among people who know and talk about video and computer games, but hugely influential. Wikipedia tells us that Shigeru Miyamoto considers it an influe

RP@ seems to be generally unavailable for ALL #figforth #forth on #atari8bit. Why, FIG? Such a weapon in my hands would be only used for a greater good! Manuals and books mention it, Forth Dimensions has examples (unclear for which platform though) but I see no RP@ or anything allowing accessing current return stack pointer address. I also understand that later #forth standards further reduced access to the most exciting words... I am angry now!

Gave the #atari #800xl the best gift gramps could ever ask for. A brand new NOS motherboard swap. Now everything is happy and stock and the composite video works again. Also, it reads carts my old board wouldn’t, and I got a replacement plastic lens that has been missing for years! #Atari8bit #retrocomputing

Today a rather lenghty post about another game from my childhood. Came out longer than planned. 😅 But I hope the one or other will like to be kidnapped by the past anyway.

Today's childhood game:
Alternate Reality

Heute ein etwas länger geratener Beitrag zu einem anderen Spiel meiner Kindheit. Wurde etwas ausführlicher als geplant. 😅 Aber ich hoffe der ein oder andere mag sich dennoch entführen lassen.

(EN) After I had to split my post about Ultima IV into four parts, I created an account on Friendica to post and share a long version. If I feel like it, I'll get nostalgic with other games. Just have to find the best way to share on Mastodon and if I stay there. I'm still experimenting 😀 Tips are welcome, form and style are still coming.
