January 25, 200916 yr Author Updated my post. And yes, I played these two games much there too on Atari 1040 ST/STE. But the game more played on Atari 800 was "Star Raider", "M.U.L.E", "Seven Cities of Gold", "Pacman", "Ms. Pacman" and "Space Invaders". <--- These 3 last will point out the terminals of games in the coffees bar or Luna Park to you... FYI, I always have them and they still function all... Egidio.

January 26, 200916 yr Author Jeepers I've never thought a computer could hold less than one mb lol, memory was very expensive: was between $250 to $300 for 16KB. PCB to plug in the one of the 3 slots available under the top cover of the Atari 800...And the cpu 6502a (8 bits bus) costed between $400 to $500 for Atari 400/800 and the 6502c (8 bits) for Atari 800XL & Commodore64 costed $250... When Atari 1040 cames, the cpu 68000 (16/32 bits bus) costed under $300... Egidio.

January 31, 200916 yr LOL. Yes, those old pcs were such a joke compared to now. I started around 1990 with an 8088. Did net but only slowly at time. Let us all remember though and be thankful for those huge room filling code breakers that Britain made, to decipher the German sub radio messages. If not for that, I think we may not have defeated them. In my opinion, those first computers helped us put down Hitler. I say Hitler, not Germany, because many in Germany at the time did not agree, but would be shot if expressed disagreement. Anyway, just imagine at the speed our pcs have improved over 20 yrs at an increasing rate, what might be just over the horizon in next few yrs.
