I miss these visuals so much. You probably feel it for your respective system of choice. This is what they took from us.

Deater's take on the first parts of the Atari XL/XE "Rewind 2" demo on the enhanced 128K Apple IIe with Mockingboard.

Even in black/white there is so much FUN here, in the ATARI COFFEE SHOP and the ASSOCIATION OF TENNIS PROFESSIONALS.

Found here, seemingly Italian:

Thanks to Adam Markey for highlighting a conversions call from Codemasters in April 1987, we've created a set of new entries. Various conversions all currently lost for #ZXSpectrum, #Atari800, #MSX and #Commodore16/#Plus4:

Also in the collection… Atari 2600 (I believe a heavy sixer) and TONS of cartridges! #atari #atari2600 #atari800

I moved the IIe downstairs. It fits in nicely down here.

You know, when I was first learning computing, back in the 1978-1981 era, *everything* that I cared about was open source.

We just didn't call it that back in the heyday of 8-bit interpreted languages.

Found this fun Atari CX-85 Numeric Keypad Modification Kit so you no longer need drivers

GTW Highlight No.6: In March, preservation work of Archer Maclean's disks continued with a look at many arcade concepts that Archer had created on the #Atari800 and sadly abandoned, including an early Robotron development:

GTW Highlight No.2: Also in December, we made a hugely important discovery from the disks of the late Archer Maclean. The origins of Dropzone were recovered in the form of Defender and Stargate conversions on the #Atari800:

Arrived yesterday: An #Atari800 from ebay. Working condition. (Just one key is missing that was replace with a 3D-printed surrogate.)

Here we go weekend #BBSing, #Atari800 with incognito FJC firmware, FujiNet Prof, calling up #southernamis projects restored Southern Amis, Amis XE, and Nitelite BBSs. #Atari #RetroComputers #VintageComputing #FujiNet

Come by the Swap Meet at Ctrl-H Hackerspace in north Portland before 4:00 PM today. I’m selling my Atari 800!

The proof in this pictures: to be able to use an ATARI computer, you must wear a headset!

The «Atari Calculator» by #CarolShaw was the famous, yet obscure powerful scientific & programmable RPN #calculator for #Atari800

Suddenly abandoned by #Atari ~1982, it was lost for years…

Thx to @savetz, now it is preserved together w/ the source & docs.

Today I've found its the first ever screenshot, printed in the «Touch the future.» (1979) brochure.
