VCF East 2025 is closing in quickly. My friend @billlange.bsky.social and I are having a 40th birthday exhibit for the #AtariST. If you find yourself in NJ April 4-6 be sure to come and say hi! #Atari #vcfeast2025

I donated to the Associated Press today. I need to feel like I'm doing something. apnews.com

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

@8bitrocket.bsky.social I listened to your new Atari 2600 Action Pack podcast at work this morning at work. Your excitement in telling made me smile. Thanks.

#Google maps is no longer trustworthy.

Show #2 of the weekend. Dungeons & Dragons Twenty-sided Tavern!

First show of the weekend.

@enlightl.bsky.social Welcome to BlueSky. Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I’ve been listening to an interesting podcast, “Pack One Bag”. It’s about a Jewish family in Mussolini’s fascist Italy, trying to decide what to do when fascism comes to your country, stay and fight, or flee. lemonadamedia.com/show/pack-on...

Two years ago, @mozzwald and I demonstrated two Atari Lynx's connected via the Internet, playing Rampart with UDP tunneling ComLynx, thanks to prototype FujiNet devices. Am still surprised it worked. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2jK...

FujiNet is a WiFi Network Adapter for many #retrocomputing systems, including #atari8bit. It can allow users to play games against a shared scoreboard. Article here: fujinet.online/2025/01/09/h...

FastBasic 4.7 for the Atari 8-bit has been released! #Atari github.com/dmsc/fastbas...

Join @billlange.bsky.social and me tonight at 8:00 PM EST as we chat all things Atari Party with the Retro Repair Roundup gang.

Nice Atari haul today!

Hi. I run a YouTube channel. youtube.com/tschak909 It distills my four decades of #retrocomputing and #retrogaming knowledge into long-form videos with extensive chapter indexes. My focus is on accuracy, and depth; especially because this knowledge is being lost to time.

Nice write up on Atari Party on the Peruvian website www.atariteca.net.pe/2024/12/eeuu...

Want to learn even more about the history of Kingdom, Hammurabi, and The Sumerian Game, back @andreacontato.bsky.social Andrea Contato's Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/110...

Not familiar with Atari's "Kingdom", or the game it was ported from, "Hammurabi", or the game that was based on, "The Sumerian Game", read @katewillaert.bsky.social Kate Willaert's article "The Sumerian Game: The Most Important Video Game You've Never Heard Of". www.acriticalhit.com/sumerian-gam...

The follow up to the German #Kaiser for the #Atari 8-bit was Kaiser II. This is a fully machine language version of #Kingdom / #Hammurabi. A lot of work went into this one. I haven't translated it to English, so I can't fully play it yet. It is also not up at atarimania.com. It soon will be.

Playing "Kaiser", a pretty version of "Hammurabi" or "Kingdom" on the Atari 8-bit. I translated most of the German to English here github.com/billlange196.... This version is multi-player and mostly uses joystick input rather than keyboard input.

Nice delivery today from Atari”s Black Friday sale!

Home from Atari Party. Jeep unpacked. Lucy and I had a great time. It was great seeing everyone! Thanks for organizing Pete! @rectapete.bsky.social
