great website, this is an Atari archive, I like the scans of covers, instructions, etc., but some elements are missing, I will send the missing games/demos.

Absolutely wonderful and incredibly organized. Thank you for putting this together

Thanks for bringing back the memories of Childhood. Rescue on Fractalus was one of my favorite games growing up. We got it when I was six. The aliens scared me and my dad and my older brothers. When I was 9 I made it up to 35 on the c64 version. Im thinking of going as far as 99 or more on the atari version and putting it up on YT.

I also loved the snark games, Eidelon and Realm of Impossibility. I wish they had more great games on the XL/XE. It will be my favorite computer system after the c64 and before the Amiga.

Thanks again! Keep it up!

Hi there! Big fan, been using this site for years and keep coming back! There's one thing you could do to make it much better though.

Any page you go to, the search bar is given focus once the page completely loads. This is a severe usability issue IMO on all platforms.

When browsing from my computer I tend to use the arrow keys to scroll the page and end up having to click off the search box every time to do so.

On mobile it's even worse because it zooms into the search box, and throws up the on-screen keyboard. I try to "click off" (tap off on mobile), but usually end up typing something with the on-screen keyboard instead.

Even worse, sometimes I think I've clicked off and averted the issue but the action of clicking off was performed while the page was still not yet fully loaded, and thus shortly thereafter only to be whiplashed into focus on the search box once the page has completely loaded.

Or, for another example, when using the search, if you click on an entry from the results page, then you want to go back to the search results page, so you hit back on your browser, you'll be thrown to the top of the page and lose your scroll position in the list and have to scroll back down, which then you're hit with either of the above issues depending on whether you're on the computer (arrow keys not scrolling the page and needing to click off to do so) or on mobile (zoom-to-focus and on-screen keyboard thrown up).

I love this site and will continue to use it regardless but I would be so happy if you changed this behavior because it is an endless frustration with every page so you are hit with this issue many times in the course of a browsing session. Sometimes many times in the course of a few minutes.

Please if possible disable the search box from seizing focus upon page load!

Gaige · 2023/06/09
This is by far the best database for Atari that currently exists and I'm so glad to have the privilege of accessing it.

Keep up the good work!
Markus · 2023/06/04
Glad I happened across this! Can remember being the first ones on the block to get the 2600 and getting mad when my dad beat me on Breakout. Defiantly brought me back and put a smile on my face! Thanks for your hard work!!
Marlh · 2023/05/19
This is incredible! I can't believe how much is here!! So exciting to bring back Atari memories.

Hi, I'd like to add to the Atari Mania database with info on some of the Atari ST titles that I wrote back in the day but the Forum link (above) is broken. It goes to a page with the error:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

No such file or directory [2002]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

I love retro games I have a massive amount of games unfortunately my Atari was stolen in mint condition, I do have some of the accessories left the “joystick “ and different controllers
GTi · 2023/02/15
Never had an Atari back then (Speccy & C64). But I really like all 8bit machines and the Atari's pokey chip and colourful rainbow effects. I use this great site to look up on some data and pictures to complete my Launchbox info. Oh and I also go for some highscores. Find me on lvlupscore.com
Jordan  · 2023/02/04
I was not around for the Atari, but I definitely see the charm!
Alfa Romeo · 2023/01/28
Sou de Brasil, passei adolescência quase toda jogando Atari e agora venho aqui para jogar e matar saudades daquele tempo. Meus preferidos são: River Raid, Hero, Seaquest, Enduro, Pitfall. Na verdade, todos são meus preferidos, pois gosto mesmo é de Atari. Que saudade ! Deveriam voltar a fabricar uma versão moderna porém com os mesmo títulos, mantendo as características dos anos 80, assim nossos filhos poderiam jogar e saber como era na época de seus pais. Um abraço a todos os apaixonados pelo Atari, o melhor de todos os tempos.
Doug · 2023/01/23
Fantastic information! The 2600 came out as I was still a young lad, so I drooled over the catalogs, thinking about which games I would buy first, if I possibly could.

Later, I had friends who had Pitfall and other games, and now the collections like the Atari Anniversary are wonderful ways for me to go. Getting related info about the games and how they were understood at that time in magazines is just wonderful.

Thumbs up to the contribution to the community this represents!

Slavo Hogen · 2022/12/27
Many thanks for your work. Excellent job. I am the owner of many large Atari models, including the Atari TT, and what makes me especially happy, I own several Falcons. Why is it worth mentioning? Because.... I've always been an Amiga fan :-) That was until two years ago I bought my first Falcon and since then my admiration for this machine has not diminished. This is how my adventure with Atari began. Today I have in my collection models from 520 ST starting to Atari Jaguar. Thanks to your wonderful work, I discovered the source of knowledge about these amazing computers. Thank you again for your passion and this brilliant site
Regards, Slavo.
Fernando · 2022/12/13

Hello,
You are making nostalgy grown in me.
Thank you.
Mäck · 2022/05/24
I rediscovered Atari for myself a few weeks ago - and I'm in seventh heaven! We had the all-black ATARI2600 back in the 80s.
The ATARI FLASHBACK 9 GOLD with SD slot completely fulfills its purpose for me. I have now also ordered the small ATARI FLASHBACK BLAST vol.3, with the paddle controllers.
And THIS SITE here is great... quasi a kind of virtual Atari bible, where I will discover (and rediscover) still very much. Thanks a lot for the effort.

Lucas · 2022/05/23
Hell yes! What a treasure trove this site is. I love the magazine uploads, they're just as much of an insight as the games themselves sometimes.

Nice site! Also nice to see you have "International Bridge Contractors" I translated to Atari BASIC 40 years ago for SoftSide magazine.

I gave it the 10 rating it deserves LOL.

Definitely the good old days. A lot of great memories of the heyday of 8-bit computing. The 80s were just great all-around.

This is like a museum, trully stands by "the world finest atari database" is not just aboout the roms, is about all the nostalgia you get whit those posters, videos, and all that stuff. trully an awesome job. This site gave me chills. This should be considered among the world treasures, this is history.

Emulating Atari because I can't seem to find a working system for sale, and no great way to play in a decent resolution. This gem of a website has every single game for 2600 available to download which is amazing. Hope that 7800 catalog is completed or even part of it is released!

Good afternoon. Is there a program that allows you to record the Atari 800 XL tapes at 800 baud? Thank you
WardDude · 2021/05/24
Thank you for making this great site! I recently got a Retron77 and I love being able to download rare, expensive or hard to find games to a miniSD card and stick it in the console to play them. I have about 40 games on carts, but not some of the ones you have roms of. Great to be able to play Pitfall II now. The Retron77 is a great console, but it's not compatible with some of the later carts like Pitfall II that have the extra chips in them.

This is an excellent site, properly done and maintained. I still have an 800XL and 1050 disk drive that both work great. I have some original software I want to share with the rest of the Atari computer world, developed in 1983 to 1987. Currently its on floppies, but I'm in the process of moving it all onto disk images, and will upload here soon. Thank you, ATARI MANIA for what you do! Great work!

Joseph Mangiaracina Jr  · 2021/02/06
what a fantastically valuable resource this website is! I had Atari on the brain and was looking for instruction game manuals for E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark and cane across you guys....and wow...was absolutely astounded to see the full scans available of both manuals and I was beyond stoked! Despite these games not being particularly favored by gamers, I thoroughly enjoyed playing these games growing up and look forward to brushing up by reading the manuals again some 35 odd years later and play these games again! I also somehow thought of the game Adventure in my search and saw the instruction manual for that game also, so I'm looking to "discover that game for the first time! Looking forward to discovering new treasure troves on this site! Awesome!????

You're welcome, Joseph. You can spent a lifetime wandering through our database. Enjoy the journey!

Hey, I've got a box or two of old Atari stuff in my back closet. An 800, a 400, a disk drive, etc. Manuals, disks, power supplies. I'd hate to throw the stuff out (it was my first intro to computers way back in 79/8? Is there anyone willing to pay shipping for this grab bag? I'm on the east coast, so I can't drop it off to you guys.

Love the site! Brings back many good memories of my time when I bought my first Atari 400 and then the 130XE. Keep up the good work!
NAMAN  · 2020/08/13
I like the way you have conceived the rating of various system games. I couldn't find a rating for "ARCADE" games. And it's disappointing as there is no database of this kind for the "ARCADES" on the INTERNET. I hope you complete that section soon so that it becomes a central database for ARCADE games rating.
Overall, I really liked the effort. Only suggestion would be to provide some video or photo of the game which is rated here.
Stefan Schwedler · 2020/08/09

I love your site! I loved my atari 800xl from day . I grew with it from a 410 tape, 1050 disk, to a few days ago sio2sd. The 410 broke, 1050 works mostly, I hope to move all of the disk to atr files. I wish I had access to all of the goodies and books that are available now back then. Using it and learning with feels like time travel. poutlawp@gmail.com

Hi,

Do you know this Magazine ??
I don't find it on your website

Best regards

I wanted to send you some photos from the magazine but [team@atarimania.com] does not accept attachments....

Hi John,

I seem to remember from a few years back that the publisher of the magazine wasn't very keen to the idea of it being preserved. So I only have seen a few covers of it, not much else.

Thanks for the ROM Collection. Do you know if the ATARI FLASHBACK 8 Gold Edition can be hacked and more games loaded into it?

Thank you very much.
When I was a child my father connect a clone of atari 2600 - "rambo TV games" It Was amazing. I have a lot of good memories. In Poland at 1995 we had a trouble with PAL system, but this situation caused immediate modernisation our TV :D. Thank you for bringing back my good memories and the opportunity to share memories with loved ones. I can't wait for the family meeting, where on the emulator we will turn on the games from years ago recalling the good old days. At the same time,I am glad that thanks to the hard work you can easily use the good that has been accumulated on this site.
Greetings to .

Kennyb · 2019/05/01
Hi, its a great archive you have here but I see that most of the Atari ST stuff is in the STX/Pasti format. This is useless for real Atari user's as I understand it. Do you have any links to useable ST format images? Or perhaps I am wrong that STX is useless? I cannot find a way to make a floppy from any STX file. Kind regards.

---

Hi Kennyb,

Thank You :) It depends how you look at it. Yes to be honest the STX is pretty useless format for real hardware users, which i also am myself. Unless you want a cheap, easy and pretty reliable way to preserve your original retail disks from being lost in time of course.

But it becomes less useless being a software history preservation tool, as it is one of the preservation formats that duplicates disk as it was sold in the shops back in the day. Like images created with SuperCard Pro, Kryoflux and maybe other preservation methods, these were also never intented to be used with a real hardware. It is a format to preserve disk image data in original form instead of something that runs on real ST.

The reason for our way of choice is because many of the cracked games from the era has title screens either removed or edited with cracker messages, introduction animations, digital soundtracks or even hard disk installers removed to save disk space. It's like reading a book which someone has ripped covers off from, or doodled their own messages on the pages, or taken off the first chapter.

No doubt cracked versions also have a very important piece in software history as many of the games or tools we are able to enjoy today would have been totally lost without this underground culture. They did a very important job back in the day. But they are not a piece of original commercial software history anymore the way they were intended to be experienced by the programmers, graphics artists, designers and musicians. This is Atarimania's way to show our respect to the game developers of the 80's and 90's, to preserve their hard work the way it should be in our mind.

For running STX on a real ST / STe, if you have Lotharek's HxC Floppy Emulator hardware add-on you can run majority of the STX-images on a real hardware with some limitations. You still need the game manuals and protection wheels to play them of course, remember, they are pretty much exact copies of the commercial disks.

For the modified versions, the web is full of them. Just take a look at The Old Games Finder for example, or even better the premier menu disk archiving project at stonish.net. It will keep you busy for ages :)

All the best,
Marko / Atarimania ST archiver
atranfanatic · 2019/04/27
I have been a fan of the Atari since I was a kid. My cousin's had one as well as a Commodore 64. And those were my go to gaming machines till I was an adult and bought my first NES at a local yard sale. I have over 100 original cartridges for my 2600. This site looks great and looking forward to checking it out more in depth.
Femke · 2019/04/25

livorno · 2019/04/11
I'm a little mystified and discouraged at the lack of responses since I have been trying to contribute. I did register with the website, but my forum activation has been in limbo for nearly a month now. I see there are two new responses to other people on the guestbook, but my guestbook attempt to message you under the name "liv" has apparently been lost in a spam folder or ignored since it didn't match my username livorno. Anyway, a month ago, I uploaded a zip file to the ftp with about a dozen .BAS type-ins from Computer and Video Games magazine missing from your database. The filename is "8bit/CVG games to AtariMania.zip".

---

Hi livorno,

My apologies for the situation, it has not been intentional in any way to ignore your messages. But as with many of these hobby projects there are times when it's simply impossible to find free time to handle all the requests in a speed that makes everyone happy due to our real life demands and responsibilities.

I know it sucks for things being handled slowly, and i hate is as much as everyone else. But there are times when the amount of contributions is so huge compared to what we can do with a very small team of 3-5 active members. That's actually less than one persion per Atari system. Most of us can only spend a few hours a week for trying to keep the database going.

Once again my apologies, we really appreciate that you have donated your free time to help preserving our beloved Atari machines. Hopefully your work will be updated as soon as possible by a member who handles the stuff for A8 machines.

All the best,
Marko (Atarimania ST / TT / Falcon030)

Looking at the answer to Dean's question below. I'm not too much of a techie but sure love the old 8-Bit Atari stuff. Is there a site where I could buy an SD card adapter for a cartridge so I could run the files from dumps with or without emulator?

Thanks

Hi TomV,

Look here for possible solutions :)

Dean · 2019/01/25
This is a great place to be. I am a 48 YO man and wanted to play my favorite games after 35 or more years and I found at least one of them today, but I cant control it. Are these games compatible with web browsers, keyboard combinations or need some additional hardware?
Many thanks in advance

--

Hi Dean, depends a lot about which Atari system you're about to play. Atari 2600 games are playable from browser, while the others need a program called "emulator" to load the software from. Most of the files also runs on an original hardware with some modern day add-ons like SD card adapters and so on.

Some great emulators to try are "Altirra", "Atari800" or "Xformer 10" for Atari 5200 and 400/800/XL/XE series, "STEem SSE" or "Hatari" for Atari ST and Falcon030 compatibles, or "Virtual Jaguar" for Atari Jaguar.

Merlin · 2018/12/26
Fantastic resource. Thank you. I have loved getting some of the old classics for the 800XL and ST (I had both as a child).

Also great to look through all the Atari User magazines I was so familiar with. I learned programming by typing in (and then debugging) the software printed in those magazines!!

And then to find the copy (Aug 1998) with the letter in I wrote when I was 11 years old!

Well appreciated.
Danimal · 2018/12/21
Thanks so much for this site... makes it easier to get all this 8 bit stuff up and running again.
Matt · 2018/12/17
Thirty-odd years ago my programming and video game making started on an 800XL and
I’ve just started my classic collection with another 800XL and a 520STfm.
This is a great site and I look forward to coding on the 8-bit again thanks to all the documentation on here. (First an interrupt driven tracker player and then to complete the project I always wished I had.. an Outrun clone.)
I’m pleased to see the old publications again that I had a few programs published in.. more than half a lifetime ago now.
Well done Atarimania - keep it up!

Thanks Matt for your support! I really wish to see your Out Run clone one day, it certainly is something Atari 8-bit is still missing :)

Great resource for my atari project, hard to find complete listings for systems on the web so ill be using this as a reference. The project is a 3d cover art collection for official releases, prototypes and promotional releases across the entire atari range for arc browser on android. Covers can be used across all platforms and devices as they are .PNG Files. The Project will be a long road and ill be doing other systems in future. I estimate 2-4000 3d covers should complete the collection.
SingingCoyote13 · 2018/12/02
i must say Atari is no bad brand
they seem to have no real luck often
like bigger companies do.

i ve seen the ataribox (atari vcs) system beeing
announced on youtube, but they seem also
to do things wrong,. like no or too little merchandising
we do not even know what games run on it,
except tempest.

i used to have a atari2600 in the 80s and i
was quite fond of it. pitfall 2 is my alltime favorite
from the 80s.
Jeremy B · 2018/11/23
Started on Atari back in the 80s' ... wow we have come a long way. But this was the beginning for me. Still remember a game on the Atari that I can't remember the name probably one of the first first person games where you flew Jet a space ship and wandered through a maze and found clues. Anyone else remember this game?
Happyjax · 2018/11/16
Wow, bringing back such cool memories. I started with the 400 and a cassette drive, moved to the 800 and eventually an ST. Still have the 800 though all the disks went bad on me. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing! I had always wanted to figure out ROMs when I learned about them years ago, but when you get older and things take more than 3 steps, they tend to be too much work! But here, in all their 4-bit glory, are my favorite games from 30 years ago. I can't thank you enough for making these available, and I can sit here for hours and play the same games I sat and played for hours decades ago!

--------------------------

You're welcome, Scott. Enjoy!
Gene · 2018/08/13
When I was 13, I bought my first Atari computer. It was an Atari 600XL, and I bought Pac-man, and Missile Command right off the bat. Then a few days later I came back to Sears(get that, SEARS??LOL)
and purchased a 1010 Cassette drive to keep tabs on all my home brew games. I kept adding to my game collection thru the years and then the 600XL vanished, I think my ex-wife took it. But to make a long story short, I now have an Atari 800XL, a 600XL, and a whole bunch of games. I love these machines and hope I get to use them more in the future.

Hello everybody from the team !

I'm just new here as I detected this AWESOME site last night for the first time, trying to find help to cope with my Altirra emulator.
Although it didn't give me much help in that direction, I've recognized instantly that this site is like the treasure chamber in 'Monty's Revenge' ;-) (which i I loaded down already, of course ^^)

Now that I start managing the Altirra - by trial and error and more trial..., but now it works fine - I'm glad to find so much of literature about Atari 8-bit programming which is my actual goal, although those masses of great games are quite tempting, too... ^^l

To make it short - THANK YOU for that great site !!!

Info on Powerstar: Programmers were myself Jeff Volp and Steve Nelson. Graphic Artist was Stan Clark. I developed the data structures to fit everything into a 16K cartridge. The graphics budget was about 4KB, text another 4KB, OS and puzzles took the rest. We manufactured 1000 cartridges, but only about half sold.

A ton of resources for the Atari owner. I had one of every model except the 600XL and the 65XE. I had a 130XE with the 64K chips replaced with 256K rams and an MIO from ICD operating a 20MB hard disk. Like an idiot, I gave it all away when I got an IBM clone. I wish I had it all back. Just bought a 130XE and XF551 plus a 800XL and 1050.

Dear Atarimania, your website is Superb! In April 2017 i take part of a Retro challenge competiton and i choose to reverse engineering the Atari console and computers inside a Raspberry pi b3 with a custom distro i prepared for the challenge. Your website was vital for me to find old 2600 games and other Atari games and finally i won the challenge. Thank you.

Great to hear this, Matteo. Congratulations! The Atarimania Team

Thank you for this amazing site, a lot of useful information about all the Atari games. Enjoy it a lot! Thought I let you know :)
Joel · 2017/09/17
All the cool kids in high school (1979 - 1983) sat at my table during lunch. The nerds in the school got beat up 3 times a day, whereas I only got beat up only once a day - thus not a nerd. The Atari 800 was a stepping stone to my career in computers. It was the source of much entertainment and joy thru learning. In high school, I built a number of hardware devices that I interfaced to my machine as well as the software to run them. The programming experience gained on it, put me at the top of the class in college.

I've been to this website often and it brings back many fine memories. But this site also impresses on me what the internet has done for knowledge. Until I came across this website, I had no idea how many books, magazines, tools, and games were are around in the early 80's. But then again, I didn't have the money, time and drive to learn and try everything.

I often think about what I could do now, with 30 years of experience and with the wealth of freely available information (as found here) to create the ultimate Atari 8-bit game. However the Systems Analyst in me, and the deeply ingrained SDLC in my brain tell me, it would take at least a year full time, to create said ultimate game. However, there would be next to no market to sell it to, so it could only be a labor of love. Any such game would have to wait until the kids are all raised, and retirement swings around.

I have to say, that this is the Gold Standard in websites about the Atari. Well done to it's creator and the many contributors! Thank you very much.

Thank you Atarimania

Thank you for the kind words, Joel! Cheers, The Atarimania Team

RRW · 2017/06/26
I am so impressed by the wealth of information you have cataloged here. I especially love looking over the Antic magazines you have listed as .PDF's. I had so many of them back in the day. I was always a fan of the Atari game systems, starting with the 2600, the moving to the 8 bit systems and then on to the ST models. Awesome that someone is keeping a database of old systems like these as it's a big part of gaming/computer history. Thanks, it's been so much fun to journey down memory lane again.

Hello
It's my first time on here and I'm needed help my daughter found my old Atari 2600 in the loft and I can't seem to get it to work on my new Tv is there some way to connect it via scary hdmi or component etc

-------------------------

Hi, Damian. Welcome to AtariMania. The easiest way to connect your Atari console is to simply connect the RF cable to the coaxial port on your HDTV. Otherwise you'll need a converter.
GroovyDuckling · 2017/04/02
Great site and the community seems to be super friendly and helpful, unlike some other sites. Im going to get atari 2600 light sixer soon, it will be my first atari console ever. I have already nice amount of games on my list that I want to get. All the info and people on forums have cleared some of my questions already Thank You! And keep up the great work!

Hi there
Now 30 years of being boxed away I plugged my good old 800XL in and - whow - it still runs like always did! And .. the good old 5/25 disc´s are working!!! I got a pretty big collection of games - I will have to look through all of it (some 200 discs) and would like to share the games you don´t have listed. ... but I don´t know how to get them from the 1050 into a new computer -----
All the best
Jeff
GadZombiE · 2016/11/05
This is one of my favourite sites in the whole Internet! I still look here, almost everyday and read about all those great games for my lovely Atari computer. I love to read user comments about games I like.
I also have my on website about old, classic games, mostly for Atari 8-bit: classic-games.pl. Everyone is welcome!
Randy Brown · 2016/10/29
What an awesome site! Was reminiscing about all those long nights spent poking and peeking on the Atari 400 and decided to do a quick Internet search. What a great find... a true gem which is now bookmarked.

Lee Ison  · 2016/09/29
Thanks for a great website, found all my old 800xl games in my parents loft, so had to go and buy the machine itself so I can go down memory lane. Some how seemed to have misplaced my old ST games. So i'll have to invest in that too.And will definitely use your database to restock all the old favourites. Thanks again to keeping the old ATARI alive!
Matt Huls · 2016/09/28

Good to see a bunch of Atari afficiandos. We may have been overtaken in the technical departments, but the Atari, in it's day, was by far the best game player around. Starcade produced Up, Up and Away and Savage Pond. We enjoyed it.

Thanx for archiving all this stuff. I don't know why... but I still get nostalgic feelings when starting my ST. Unfortunately my first 520 ST+ from 1987 died, but I still have a working MegaSTE... Never get such emotions with all this modern computer crap today. Perhaps there was something like magic in 1985 with the upcoming fight Atari vs. Amiga... ;-)

Thx 4 performing such a cool website for nostalgie. i am 40 y/o and my 1st computer was Atari 520 ST. i am civil engineer now. Although i have an i7 4712 MQ laptop, i want to keep my ST 520 at my Office, but i am unable to find programs of Atari 520. is there anyone who can help me on finding programs? i just wanna operate my ST. its working but not loading system.
Wizard · 2015/12/29
I guess this is one of my new digital homes now. Back in the years, lived for the Atari instead of school (Like Bret Leduc I am 42 now), playing games, copying, sorting, organising stuff. My Technics stereo playing the sounds of the Atari 130XE (later on the ST), taped sounds of Coronis Rift, the beginning of the Ghostbusters game and played Ultima and Alternate Reality to the bone.

Thanks for keeping this site up! I will look for my contributions to come. Have a respectfull collection of original games. I will check of what you miss and send it over!

So when will you guys get the Jaguar section up and running? It is so sad that there is no content.

We are working on it hard. Adding screenshots was a way more difficult than we first thought because the emulation compatibility isn't that great. So various sources needs to be used. It will hopefully be available at the end of 2015.
Donald Mellor · 2015/10/09
The Atari Mania is a wonderful site, I have spent many a happy moment looking and downloading many games I used to play as a young man. The section I find most enjoyable is the magazine section, and in particular the Antic magazines.

I came back to view this site today, although I've been here before. Lots of interesting information and pics. :-)
I got my Atari 2600 in 1992, which was a little bit late compared to some of you, but I've cracked it out again recently to play a few games. :-) I think it will last forever, that console! Although I have had to make a few repairs over the years.
Anyhow, keep up the good work on the site.

i resqued a boxed FALCON from the trash years ago, and now i've gotten an Mega 1 as well, and so i am in search for 720k floppies and software. what an adventure !!
AX3L R3D · 2015/06/15
The very first machine I ever played on was a 520ST, the one with an half megabyte for RAM and 720kb disks and no HDD.
A little later we had a 1040ST with an entire(!) megabyte for RAM and even a 40Mb HDD!

It was on 1985 and I was 5 years old.
Right in the middle of this decade, both my passions for computers and videogames were born.

In disorder: Monkey Island, Another World, Arkanoïd, Zak Mac Kraken, Shuffle Puck Cafe, Golden Axe, Captain Blood Ark,
Gauntlet, Joust, Jumping Jack Song, Barbarian II (e yeah! tchk! pok!), Targhan, Colorado, Starblade, Metal Mutant...
And I forget many more names.

The disk drive noise and the bee pointer on this green screen when loading. The bombs line when crashing.
This strange thing they call a mouse. I loved this machine as soon as I first seen it.

I'm glad to see that Atari remains for many people minds as beloved childhood memories.

PS Please forgive, if any, my mistakes in English which isn't my native language (which is French).

I´ll always remember my atari 2600, i was 4 years old and when i finished my kinder garden time, i played tons of hours, all the adventures i wanted.

And also remember the time when i came at home from school and try turning on my atari and it doesn´t work anymore, it was the first saddest moment of my life :´(

After that i didn´t have another Atari or Nes, i was at house of friends playing Nes, but the wait worth it, i was the first child in my neighborhood to have a Snes. It was freaking awesome.

Thanks to bring back the good old memories, i´m 30 now and i have emulators and roms on my Ouya or Pc, sometimes i play more these games than my ps4.

laila · 2015/03/19
Hi everyone, 25 years ago I always played a game but I forgot the name and even the name of the console. Can you guys please help me? The game that I'm searching for can be played in 1 and 2-player mode. You start with walking a lottttt and then you can find a shovel I think, many other items like a pistol but the pistol is very hard to find because I always get lost and sometimes I stumble upon a beach. I and my lil brother were always trying to kill each other in multiplayer mode. I believe there was only 1 gun in the whole game, so whoever had the pistol could kill the other player. That's all I remember about the game. Do you know the name of this game? I also don't know if it was on Atari, MSX or commodore. sorry guys! But I remember playing these games in the console also: athletic land (child park), pitfall and HERO. I think I had 2 old consoles. I already checked all MSX1 games in the emulator but it's not there, so maybe it's an atari 2600 or atari 8-bit or commodore game?

James P · 2014/05/05
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! If I had only found this site earlier, before my mom passed away in 2010, she would play Moon Patrol all day and all night. She loved that game. Now I can play in her honour. Thank you so much from bringing back so great childhood memories.
William Mortl · 2014/05/02
Thanks for all the hard work! You've inspired me to dig out my 30 year old Atari 800 XL and start using it again. You have a great site which helps to keep the memory of Atari computing alive. All the best!
Justin Knight · 2014/05/01

Thanks for the dedication and time put in to making an incredible website!
Anthony  · 2013/12/21
I'm so glad I stumbled onto this site after getting the nostalgia bug. After surfing your site, I got flooded with a ton of memories of me growing up in New England and enjoying my 2600, going to the local Child World and seeing what new games they had. Thanks and keep it up! I'll be visiting very often.

I also put a small note about the site on my blog http://tarek.hoteit.org/atari-mania/
Frederick · 2013/12/05
You keep the old magic alive. While windows grows to 4gb, amazing what Atari could do on 1mb.
I'm hoping to get my hAtari emulator to work on Linux. Would be nice if GFA-bas could run, although I doubt I remember any of the syntax. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Great collection! Takes me back! Like just about everyone, I had an Atari "Pong" console back in the mid 70s then in the 80s got an Atari 2600 then the 130XE along with an 800XL both of which I ran a BBS on for many years. Thanks for the memories!

An excellent Atari Web Site. I have owned Atari 400, 800, 800XL, 65XE and 520STE computers since December 1982 and what I love about the www.atarimania.com web site is the pdf's of the Atari 8 bit books, manuals magazines and Technical Documents etc. The Best Atari Web Site on the Web. Thank you.
atarist512 · 2013/06/03
Yes, Atari ST was amazing! Learned Programming on It. Wrote reports for School On It, At That Time It Gave Discussion If That Was Allowed.

CALAMUS, Flights Sim, Mission Elavator, Degas, Where My Favs. Greath site!
Scott · 2013/05/31
A fantastic site and very well laid out (If a little brown?) As an STE owner I would like to see more clarity on the differences between titles that are 'enhanced' on the STE.
mattrocks.cats · 2013/05/30
i love the atari 800xl system and all of the atari products (but not et).
Steffen · 2013/04/20
I use your site to research what cartridges to buy for my 800XL. Brilliant!
AZepeda · 2013/03/24
Thank you very very much for this great work.

What a wonderful memories!

I begun to love computing stuff since I knew the Atari 800 XL in 1987, now I work as software engineer because of it and I still enjoy my job.

I could only bought some numbers of MundoAtari and TurboNews in Chile those days and never saw the whole collection. I have it now!

Thank you!!!
Raymond · 2013/03/24
I'm glad Atari Mania is still going strong. I finally checked out the game ads page and was swept up with a wave of excitement when my memories went back many years. The ads are colorful and the art was/is inspiring setting the mood for the games very well.
Steve Bradley · 2013/03/21
Hi guys - just joined - might not remember me but I won the Space Invaders contest in London in 1981. Just been reading the old Member News - takes me back - still have an old scrapbook that includes every newspaper clipping that was taken from the day including even Australian coverage!!
prfjmad · 2013/03/20
No matter how much time passes by, how much computer technology evolves, to me nothing compares to the power inside the humble ATARI 800XL, my first computer ever. How amazing the things that CAN be done about sounds and graphics with only 32k available for programming!
crago · 2013/03/10
Awesome site guys, despite all the advances in technology, I still find time to play Atari 2600 games. It's my fountain of youth. It's great that you are preserving arguably the greatest period in gaming history.... well done!! keep up the great work!
Gareth Cole · 2013/03/10
I started off with a 2600 when very young and eventually had (after a spectrum) 529 STe upgraded to 1040. Dungeon Master, Captive, Wings of Death, Epic, Fire and Brimstone, Most Microprose titles, Another World, Castle Master, Magic Pockets, forever swapping discs, pre-ordering Legends of Valour direct from US Gold and waiting for what seemed like years for it to be released and dancing for joy the 1st time it loaded up, the box was really cool too, like a book (Bethesda have obviously used this game as an inspiration). I could jabber on forever until my tiny brain imploded and my comma key wore out. Oh and Jeff Minter is a God!
Ron Borta · 2013/02/22
Amazing Stuff ! I was CTO at Roklan Software, and I can't believe this stuf is still alive.

Now I can prove to my son the value of what I did before he was born.

Ahhh, so nice to revisit, my childhood. The hours spent on weekends, and ill off school, dipping into the powerpack, I can still smell the scent of the overheated st. Thankyou, Great site
Steve · 2013/01/10
Although I no longer have any of the old consoles & computers, I do like reading about retro history, & playing the old software. This site is an excellent resource for the Atari machines, & I must thank you for enabling me to do this.
Scott · 2012/12/31
Glad to see many out there who still cherish these memories. What a great time it was - making "bad sectors" on my 1050 floppy drive with sector editors, dialing into CompuChat, and hours of typing in cool programs from the latest magazines. I remember how exciting it was when a new magazine hit the stands!

Thanks to all contributors.

Wow , you have a very complete site with lots of info.

thanks
Christiane · 2012/11/19
Thank you guys so much for all the wonderful memories. I am from Brazil and I used to play these games when I was 11. Now I'm a woman of 43 years old, and to be able to play these games again in my PC it is beyond words!!! Back then my favorites were asteroids and enduro. Thanks guys, again for this magnific site! Best regards, Chris.
John · 2012/11/06
This site is fantastic! I remember buying a copy of Antic Vol 3 No 2 June 1984 and spending hours typing in the Escape from Epsilon game into my Atari 800. Those were the days.
Thank you for making my day.
Cheers
John
Petari · 2012/09/13
Great work on this site. Really good source for STX images.
Just one note: it is not possible to make "STX-loader for ST. " - even if there is plenty of RAM.
STX format is good only for emulators. When some game takes control over machine you can not execute other tasks - like decoding STX file.
Marion Johnson · 2012/09/05
Thanks for this site,it is wonderful to have a place like this to come to,as a teen I started on ATARI 800,it still reveger me to play with some of thease games on an emulator,thanks again,keep up the good work,the best to all your team,thanks.
Wolf · 2012/08/29
Thanks for this great site and lots of information.
I have an Atari 800 XL 1985 bought in Poland, because in East Germany no Atari computer was gaufen to. I have. Many programs on cassette in the "CHAOS SYSTEM" and it uses 6000 baud for data transfers There are some programs that are missing here, for example. "Star Lyricist". The programs are still to load and work without problems. Unfortunately I have only the CHAOS CopyTrans Later. I lack the programs for the 6000 baud 600 baud back to normal convert, maybe someone can help.

Thanks from Berlin

richard carter · 2012/08/19
I had a lot of fun programming the Atari and missed that when I gave all my stuff away -due to emigrating. Now, with an emulator on the pc and some of the books from your site I can enjoy it once more - and, of course, play some games.
Thanks so much! :)

mycelo · 2012/07/27
I can't thank enough for all the love and effort that you invested on your site. It's of great generosity that you published all this work for free, everything so well organized and simple.

Those were the golden days of videogaming, and you did a great job of displaying everything about them here, with all the care that they deserve.

I only wish I could go back in time and enjoy a bit more those long afternoons of Atari. With your great site, we can almost do that.

Best regards from Brazil.
James Fredericks · 2012/07/23
Thank you so much for making this site! It means a lot to me and I am telling my old friends about it who had Atari computers back in the day like me. It really fulfilled my nostalgia for Atari stuff. I will be coming here often. Great job and super thorough! :D

I just found this site and it has reignited my interest in all things Atari. Brilliant site, well done those who built it. I have two Atari 800 XLs and one 400 with membrane keyboard. Have about 1500 programs for them. I will have to get one set up again and have a go at Zaxxon and Clowns and Balloons. Regards to all, and thanks for letting me join.

CityHunter · 2012/05/25
thank you very much for all the wonder that you placed on the site.
I never hoped to see my games that have made ??me a fanatic of video game consoles.
This is thanks atari 2600 I came to the digital world
I am especially a fan of the game Persian Gulf War that was for me the best game on this console output
Going Home Booby also another marvel
in short it is thanks to you that I was able to get his game that was a stroke of heart during my childhood

Mark B · 2012/05/23
You guys and girls have created one of the best websites I have ever visited. I cant thank you enough and describe just how many fond memories your website has given me of the golden age of atari gaming I had when growing up. How you have managed to catalogue all the games, pictures, movies and magazines is amazing. Your website is by far the the most comprehensive atari database ever. I had an Atari 520STe for many years and enjoyed games like Flood, Paradroid 90, Chuck Rock, Robocop 3 and many more. With your STX file dumps and the Steem emulator I can relive all those classic games again. I hope this website continues to grow and grow. Thank you. Mark B, Hampshire, UK.

Man waren das schöne Zeiten in den 80 jahren.ich hatte einen 800xl mit Datasette und eine Floppy.ich vermisse diese schöne zeit die leute haben da irgend wie mehr zusammen gehalten und wir waren meistens immer in kleinen grüppchen von 3-4 leuten.wenn es eine zeitmaschiene geben würde dann würd ich mich in diese schöne zeit zurück versetzen lassen.
Jay · 2012/03/03
Hello Everyone! I had the good fortune to work at Atari in the late 80s and you know what I miss the most? The Atari User Groups and my co-workers. What a great group of folks. User Groups (absolute FANATICS) would bring their home projects and personal code to shows - it was amazing what folks were able to do with these great little machines. And what I didn't realize back then, was how early we were in the PC world - just the dawning days of personal computing. And a special thank you to my old Boss and mentor, Sig Hartmann. I'm sure Sig is gone by now, he was a "lotta lotta" fun, a role model, and a good man. And a special thank you to Mel Stevens, Dir. of Creative Services. To watch Mel work on packaging or an ad or a booth for a show was like watching a master at his craft. An amazing guy. We had a lot of fun, and we sold a lot of great products. And thank you Sam Trammel for the opportunity. It was a blast.

James Williams · 2012/02/05
This is the greatest archive of ATARI I have ever seen! Stumbled upon it one night and ended staying up all night reliving many memories of my ATARI 2600 and ATARI 400 days! Thanks to the authors responsible for this site, LOVE IT!!!
Ray Allen · 2012/01/29
Found this great site, I also found you have scans of some old mags which is great as I had some article published back in the day and I found them, thank you so much for doing this great bit of computing history. I still have all my atari gear (not sure if it works) I could never part with it. (Atari User Vol 3, no. 4 and page 6 issue 47) keep up the great work

Thanks for your great site ! Now, I'll be able to share with my children "my" old video games and the beginning of the video game adventure.
Alex · 2012/01/18
Thank you so much, for the ROM Collection of 2600 games. I'm a HUGE Atari fan and cannot afford to buy alot of Atari games and a console. The only thing stopping me from downloading emulators was all of the time to spend on Roms.

This saved me HOURS of work.

This site is great. When I was young I had a 600XL, 1010 tape deck, and stack of Antic/Analog/Compute/Softside magazines I found at sales and library. Many hours of typing. Later on I managed to upgrade to 800XL/1050 drive, then SIO cable. My atari is in a safe place now, but emulators still run on my Win 7 machine.
TexasAtari · 2011/12/11
Great site, brings back some great memories i had in the 1970s for the Atari VCS (2600), i am now collecting for the 2600 and 7800 and having a ton o fun, your site is a lot of help, hope that you can keep it going for many years so that Atari never dies out.

JCat NYC · 2011/04/27
Amazing site. I hope it stays around for a long time! I've owned just about every computer and console since the 80's, and the Atari era was no doubt, the height of my technology high! It was sad time when the inferior, C-64 (the McDonalds of computers) took over.

Just managed to find this site

Absolutely fantastic !!

Keep the Atari alive, best machines ever
Stephan · 2011/04/15
Just found your site. LOVE IT!
I remember spending hours on the 2600 sold it way back for 200 bucks including the 150 games i had. Man I wish I still had it.
stefan walz · 2011/04/15
such a wonderful valuable site! THANK YOU ATARIMANIA!!!

Hi, I had an Atari 800 XL when I was a boy. Only had one game for it. Was Miner2049r. Great Game! It was a cartridge which plugged in the back.
Used to play it in my Garage when I was living with my family in Knoxfield.
But one day i was interested to see what was inside the Atari 800 and I pull it apart. When I put it back together and turned it on smoke came out the back. I killed it!
This site brings out the child in me.
Great website!

Actually, I`m an Amiga collector and think back of the good old times, were we had that funny "Atari vs Amiga war". But I must admit, that this Atari Site is optically much better than the most of the Amiga sites I know. What should be implemented are downloadable game-music files. cheers from the old enemy ;-)
Peter (NL) · 2011/02/18
Great site!
Brought back a lot of forgotten memories.......
Dominic · 2011/02/01
Ahhhh the good old day's, great site, will be back soon! :)
Scott McClure · 2011/01/12
This archive is fantastic! I used to subscribe to Analog during the Atari heydey in the 80s, and I remember spending hours typing in those looong strings of hex numbers so I could enjoy games in machine language instead of BASIC. The ads bring back a lot of fond memories too. Thanks again.

I was lucky enough to find out about your website through a magazine titled: Retro Gamer: Videogames Hardware Handbook: VOL #2 it went through Consoles, Computers & Handhelds from 1977-2001 Printed in the UK & purchased in the USA. I've found this magazine booklet to be very handy & most of all extreamly interesting about all the past video game consoles and handheld devices as it goes through all the history of each & every gaming console, handheld & computer's about gaming. I feel very lucky like I stated above to find such a magazine booklet that tells me about the games, consoles in great detail & how each company learned how to produce better gaming consoles from past mistakes that were made to lead to there great sucess in todays gaming market. It was by pure luck I found this on the shelf at a very well known book store in the magazine section. I'm a collector of these consoles, games so it's come in very handy for me to purchase this older technolegy over the internet. Thanks for providing such great detailed information on your website too, It's great to finally have found what I've been looking for, for many years of reserch to be able to find these older consoles, games in which I can find for purchase & know what I'm getting before I purchase it. Keep up the awesome work your doing on your website. I look forward to reading & finding out more information on the things I want as a collector.
Mikeee · 2010/12/30

great site, will look again
Kelsey  · 2010/12/23
Really enjoying the site. Very well done.
Warren · 2010/11/18
Your site brought back memories of laboriously typing in programs from magazines like ANTIC and ANALOG. Of course the checksum programs helped. I had no money for software. I am thinking about trying it again on an emulator. With the books that you have on your site I can continue with my programming education.
Thanks a lot!!!!
Frank Costa · 2010/11/17
Very Nice site. I just rediscovered my old Atari computer after 25 years. They are great!
Thank you.
oo0Zero0oo · 2010/11/12
My mate and I used to type in program listings from ANTIC in the 80's and I never could save them; I didn't get a cassette recoder for a year after my parent bought me the 800. Then I could save things and what a blast! The 810 disk drive was brilliant, faster loading and heaps more storage. I remember the memories like they were yesterday from you website - great work, keep it up!
Steve · 2010/11/09

Retrogamer · 2010/08/22
Great site! Lots of info and screenshots of games I played in my youth and other stuff I'd heard of but never seen/played.
Makes me want to dust off the old Atari sitting in the back of the cupboard and give it 'one more whirl'.
Keep up the good work guys and gals.
Marco · 2010/08/17
I'm 30 these days and part of my youth days were passing in the company of my friends and my Atari ST 1040... This site is one more where i can visit the best games ( at least in emotion and passion) i've ever played!!! Thank you and continue the GOOD WORK!!!!

Best wishes from Greece!
Billy · 2010/07/30
This is a great site! I gave away my Atari 2600 in the 1980's so it's nice to be able to play the games I played when I was still a kid. It would be cool if you could play 5200 games directly from this site, as well as arcade games but at least you can play a ton of Atari 2600 games.
Playermaniac · 2010/07/30
Un site aussi complet sur toute l'histoire d'Atari avant Infogrames Lyon Vaise… C'est tout bonnement rarissime! Je voudrait rajouter que sur Atari ST le jeu Xénon 2 MegaBlast (Bitmap Brother's) était l'un des meilleurs Shoot'Em'Up avec des SFX surpassant les capacités de n'importe quels autres consoles de jeux de son époque! De plus la musique de Bomb The BaSS; "MégaBlast" était réstitué presque quasimment à l'identique!!! Une performance incomparable à l'époque!
Jose A. Ramirez · 2010/07/25
Muchas gracias amigo!!! Thank you very much my friend for sharing this excellent collection with us. Congratulations from Mexico!!!

Spin Doctor · 2010/06/09
I learned to program on an Atari 800XL, later modified to a 256K 800XL. Back then people said I was wasting my time on such a device. 27 years later, I still program for a living. Thanks Atari!

I still have a massive collections of games, disks, drives, and computers, all Atari stuff.
Sean · 2010/06/03
Excellent site.
The 800XL was my first games console.
Its great to play those games from the old days. Missle Command is exactly the way I remember it.

Eero Tamminen · 2010/04/25
The new Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon section is great, but as there are already a lot of titles, it would be nice if one would be able to select in the advanced search whether one's interested e.g. in things that:
- Work (only) in medium or monochrome resolution
- Are STE or TT enhanced
- Are Falcon only
ZionLion · 2010/04/14

Moises Chavez Martinez · 2010/02/27
This page rules. I never was expected a page like this, I have my own Atari 2600 (in fact, I have 3) and I never was expected a page created only for Atari. Thanks to all the people that make this page exists. Thanks to all :D
Clayton · 2010/02/17
Nice website! I've been collecting atari games for a couple of years now.It's funny because i had a colecovision back in 83, which i loved, but i also had the adapter to play atari games too. Even though the graphics weren't as good as colecovisions i really liked the game play of the atari games. Reliving my youth.LOL Can't wait till you update the 7800! Just got that one for Xmas this year.

You have a great Web site. I am from Germany. In the past I had some Ataris 600 XL, 800 XL, 130XE and a lot of equipment. It´s nice to see the old pics. Thanks a lot.
Mark from Texas · 2009/12/30
Absolutely FANTASTIC work!!

My family bought a 400 because it played the best Pacman. I then bought a 1200XL and diskdrive from a friend that won it on a radio show. I still have both of them! This site is incredible and has allowed me to run the emulator on my PC and more easily relive so many great games!!

ATARI FTW!!!

You guys deserve great respect!
wonderboy from greece · 2009/12/01

People with a historical perspective --- are good people. Yes, I am the same Norman T. Thornton that programmed Bomby (the 1k contest winner in 1988 or so) in 6502 Assembly Language.

Ah, now if only there were an archived for all the other software I've developed for the corporate world. Interesting how many coders of the past have made their way to this site. If anyone is interested in some of what I am doing these days, visit PoeticWrites.org.

In attitude, you have managed to capture the spirit of the era (a certain generosity, whimsy and technical savvy) and look of the as well. I trust that the Internet Archive (or, the like) will preserve your worthy site far into the future.

Carry-on! And, Thanks.
rick · 2009/02/09
Just wanted to say thanks!

I've been looking for the atari st
compare ad (the one with the waterfall
on the screen made with neochrome) for
the longest time.

It's the ad I drooled over till i got my
520st! them days are gone! :-(
Peter Lister · 2009/01/23
Just stumbled across this site and was amazed to find two games here that I wrote back in the 1980's, The Amulet and Blok-Head. I barely remember writing Blok-Head at all, but The Amulet was a labour of love and took me several years to complete. It's nice to see it still available, I might even have a play with it myself. Keep up the good work.
david hoitinga · 2009/01/20
thanks. from holland the good old days from the 80s sometimes a play still on my atari 800xl and the 130xe all the great games.
Aaron · 2008/12/14
All I can say is WOW! I just stumbled onto this website today for the first time and I gotta say, I'm totally impressed. It's like being a kid again... literally!

BRAVO!

Thanks for all the memories!
Chris Davis · 2008/12/13
I have to congratulate you all on your hard work and dedication to the ATARI cause.

It is very encouraging to us diehards to see that there are Atarimaniacs like you still out there, and willing to give up their time to keep these wonderful computers alive.
May you continue as long as possible.

As an ATARI 8-bit owner / user / programmer for 28years, I have accumulated a lot of hardware, software, and information. If I can
contribute in any way, please let me know.

Yours Atarily,

Chris Davis
Gilbert Frederick · 2008/12/05
An old Atari User, and reseller here in Winnipeg.
Started with the 2600 game machine, then to 400, then advanced to 800, then to 520ST.
Had quite a library of old cartridges, tapes, and diskette programs - but, and this I am sorry to say, didn't seem to have a market, so I junked much of the product.
Still have an original PAC-MAN in sealed package #CXL4200, for the 400/800 machine; and also a sealed carton DEFENDER #CX2609. Stickers on boxes are the red N, which I think means for North America.
Published a newsletter called Ad Astra, for the Atari Microcomputer Network (radio amateur group), and did this for about 8-1/2 years.
Sure miss those old days!

Please update it.

Ralf Woitinas · 2008/02/21
As one of those old old veterans of the tape drive and Assembler battlefield in the 1980's, i was touched to find a site like this where all those 'gems' are still alive and so phantastically organized. Even those old game authors (like El Ualid Nouri, Christian Griesbeck and little old me) are mentioned. I like it!!! ;-) All I can say is: Great work!
Greets,

Darren Ison · 2008/01/23
I owned an Atari 800XL from when I was 11 years old (1984) and then an Atari ST later. Interested in old games from my Childhood. I used to own several games that are currently missing on this site, will have to see if my parents still have the original cassettes/disks.
avanze · 2008/01/21
I love this site. Long live the Atari!
Paul Cunningham · 2008/01/18
1st visit. My intro to computing was via a 400 I won playing Asteroids in a tournament at Penn Square Mall. It changed my life, and I owe my ability to write concise, clean PLC code to my experiences as a 14 year old creating videogames for the neighborhood kids.

Too bad we don't have a modern version of the old system available with today's speed, memory and permanent storage. Imagine how much machine code you could run during the VBI with a 2.0Ghz processor!

I spent many hours waiting for the old tape drive to load my latest creations into 16K of ram.

Today I wait about the same amount of time with one hand tied to a mouse watching the hourglass spin on my Windoze XP machine.

I was surprised to see there are still people who are interested in atarimania...I was simply googling Atascii for chits and giggles...
John · 2008/01/14
First visit here. As an alltime Atari addict, I love to see sites like these. Hopefully all information will be available soon. Keep up the good work!

Can anyone find "aliens: the search for newt"? It came on a disk with both the c64 and atari versions on it. Some people say it does'nt exist, but I know for sure.. back in the day I copied it... but lost it when i sold my 800xl(w/ an indus gt drive and an xm301 modem!!). I looked all through homesoft as well..

I programmed the Atari 800 Craps Simulator. On a whim I did a Google search and here it is. I enjoyed writing it and I hope at least a few people found it fun. Thanks!
David H. Simmons · 2006/09/18
Excellent site! I did several Atari 800 games for Adventure International before college and it's nice to see them all listed here. I've finally ordered a SIO2PC cable so I can get you a Star Trek 3.5 .atr and better copies of Galactic Empire & Trader soon.

My computing career began with a 600XL. Upgraded it myself to 64K !
Started with a datarecorder (1010), and later upgraded to a diskdrive (1050).
What a great site to see the stuff I played with !!!
I'll check my 'dusty&rusty' archive to see what I have left.

I developed the game Syntron but thought it was long lost until coming across your site. Thank you!! I have a few other games to contribute if you would like them. I originally developed Syntron because there was no Robotron ripoff for the Atari 800 (and if there was, I wouldn't have been able to afford it at that time anyway). I then developed "Escape from Syntron" because I loved another arcade game for (I think) the Atari 800. It was a commercially available game (though not made by Atari - and I don't think it was ever a coin-op game) that came out sometime in the 1983-85 period. You would go through mazes and shoot monsters a la Berzerk or Robotron, but there were things (keys?) you could pick up along the way and then move to different sets of mazes and eventually "win" the game somehow. I can't remember if you won by escaping all the mazes, or rescuing a princess, or what it was. But it was a fun arcade style shoot em up with a quest element to it. Does that game sound familiar to anyone?

I really like the 2600 games section, thanks for all the info.

I programmed Advanced Pinball Simulator for codemasters back in the late 80's. 1988, if I remember rightly through the fog of years. Nearly knocked me out seeing it here; this site is fantastic. I still own the copyright for this piece of rubbish, but since I made very little money out of it I'm really glad you've got it up here. Codemasters offered me a pittance for the copyright way back in the day and, of course, I refused. I was in my teens when I made it and I have fond memories of the time, so even though the game is rubbish I didn't want to give up the rights. I'm really chuffed that you've got it here for people to download. Don't blame me for the music, though. As for the bugs, they were all my fault; well I was teenager when I wrote the code.

This is a wonderful site. Tons of stuff that really brought back good memories.

Cheers. :)

IS VERY GOOD, REMEMBER IT`S GAMES...
Betsy · 2006/04/02
Great site! If you are every trying to remember what a game looks like, or what other games were similar, you might check out http://www.hallofvideogames.com. It's a visual video game database. A great compliment to this site I think!
Mike - 2006-03-09 · 2006/03/09
Hello, Glad to meet with other Atari enthusiasts. Myself, I've been looking forward to playing Epyx Jumpman again. Now it looks as though I may finally get that chance.

Thanks.
Ivan · 2006/03/05
Hi guys, thank you so much for building this site! I had this strange feelings for a couple of months that I really need to see "The Great American Cross-Country Road Race" once again in my life but I didn't see a way to do it as my 800XL suddenly died a couple years ago. You fullfilled my dream this way. It's like a feeling a touch of fate or so...
Rob · 2006/02/28
Looking for Adventure Construction Set for the Atari 400/800 computer. It was programmed by Stuart Smith and published by Electronic Arts back in 1980 or so.

I own the original floppies and due to some problems when I moved from Iowa to Florida, they have become unusable!

I was hoping I could get a download of this excellent adventure maker.

Back in high school, my friend and I had a small adventure company that used the C64 version and a friend of his that had both--he'd convert our C64 adventures to Atari.

I eventually fell into an Atari 400/800 system with a floppy drive, tape drive, joysticks and a mouse. ACS was one of the programs I got with that system. Please help me.

P.S. This is the *BEST* website for Atari 8-Bit software. Though some of it is unavailable or "missing", it just proves that the Atari 8-Bit series of computers were the best and easiest to work with. I do miss 'ACS', though...

Vic T · 2006/02/04
Excellent site - very well presented. Great to see some program listings from magazines. I notice there are programs from the UK Home Computer Weekly magazine. I had a couple of games published in that magaizine when I was a child (HCWMAN (PacMan clone) and THE CHAOTIC CROSSING (Frogger clone), so when I can find the magazines in the garage I submit the them. Please keep up the good work.

i was delighted to see the almost definitive records regarding the Atari 65XE as it is otherwise missing from computergame journalism. (Having been refused entry into the wider commercial market by the success of the C64, Spectrum and Amstrad 8 BITS, this format was almost erased from computergame history) I was particularly pleased to find info relating to 'Space Raiders' and its sequel in reference to the source movie. Insightful.

Great site, finaly I found "Fiffikus" here, an old Public-Doman Quiz-game which entertained me for hours and hours in the past while I was a child. Thank you!

Hi, Great site. I was browsing the web to see if I could find any of my old Atari programs and found your site by chance when I stumbled upon my Anagrams game. I found some of my other programs listed as well. It is great to find my Atari programs living on. You are welcome to include any of my other programs, check out my website for more Atari programs ... www.johnap.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Thanks John
densonj · 2005/05/05
Real nice site. The screen shots and instructions are wonderful. In all my years as an Atari computer user I've never gotten tired of my old 8-bits. It's so good to see so many people feel the same way!

P.S. If you have kids, make sure you turn them on to the Atari. My kids love it. They have the new PC games and such, but they still spend plenty of time playing carts like Gauntlet, Star Raiders, etc... on my old 130XE. The little ones especially love the Light Gun. Barnyard Blaster is the favorite in my house (played on an old 800XL).

Mille merci pour le superbe travail !
Mike Stepansky · 2004/09/25
Of all of the Atari sites and ftp server I have explored thus far, Atarimania.com is the most complete database to help me find the long-forgotten games or software for Atari XL/XE. I wish it has more search features, ie. whats the largest file size? what are the games released in 1995, if any? Which games are in ML (Machine Language, 6502 binary native) to filter out BASIC ones? Which ones was in the form of ROM than floppy disk? and most importantly, which ones are in USA and Europe (and other countries)? The ponderable questions Atari historians would like to ask. But hey, atarimania.com and atariage.com are exciting sites to peek the never seen before stuff! :o)
Bill Badeau · 2004/09/10
What can I say that hasn't been said by all the great comments. Like most, I bought my first Atari in 1980 and finally moved on in the 90's when it became obvious that Atari would not survive. I learned to write programs on an Atari and the skills I developed contributed to the programming position I now enjoy. Thanks for a great site, and let us know if we can contribute in any way!
Karl Rinne · 2004/09/06

Pratik Patel · 2004/08/07
This is a great site! Good work guys! I still have fond memories of growing up with Atari. Starting with the 400 then the 130XE and finally a 520STE. I learned to program on those machines and here I am now working and making games for Electronic Arts! I'll never forget those late nights in front of a flickering TV as I peeked and poked memory locations and learned about sprites and game logic - your site brought all those memories back. Congratulations on a great site once again!
John Alvarez · 2004/07/17
     Thanks ever so much for the oipportunity to enjoy the old Atari again. I may be a newbee to the immulator , however, your game immages all run.

Hi, at last a site that has an extensive catalogue AND with Covers. Most of the other sites have either lots of games but no info or they have the info but not much games.
Fantastic stuff - keep up the good work!

Hi, All

Nice to see such a site there are even some games on here i wrote. Only just get back in to the 8-Bit stuff

Plastron and Heartbreak
Take a look at the title in the game and the title on the box of the second game and spot the mistake :-)
Freddy Offenga · 2004/04/24
Good work! It's nice to finally see a structured and detailed implementation of Atari 8-bit software descriptions. This is definitely going to be one of my favourite Atari 8-bit sites!

Hi !
Your site is really great and it delivers very detailed information ! I especially love your database for XL/XE ! Keep up the good work and I hope the missing items will be updated soon ;-) - Mr.Bacardi -
Andrew Bernstein · 2004/02/25


You guys rocks !

It's a truly wonderful web site and you show such passion that I don't think anybody's gonna catch up with you anytime soon.

The fact that you mention such rare and hard to find titles + the software houses associated with them is just plain wonderful (beyond your web site, where am i going to find 3D Red Baron and all these German software houses ? Even Mr. Bacardi limits himself to the biggest names).

Anyway, keep up the good work.

AB.
Justin · 2004/02/23
I have been logging on to your site for some time now and have watched it grow and grow! I have enjoyed my 8-bit Atari since 1983 and although I have always kept right up-to-date with the latests hardware/software gizmo's, still rate it as the best home computer ever made. Many thanks for your support and providing some rare information and pictures, please continue to do so.
