Nice to see that the Atari spirit is still alive :) Hello from 'www.atarihistory.de' · 2008-03-26
Greetings from www.atarihistory.de to everyone who helps maintaining ATARIMANIA.
Congratulations for your good and hard work! ac from Germany · 2008-03-24
Thank you very much for the interesting archive and the nice games. Matej · 2008-03-22
Look at the Slovak and Czech Atari scene. You dont have latest information. A lot of latest pretty games are not here.
Please update it. Ellexis Lindsay Fletcher · 2008-03-19
As a former Atari authorized retailer, elf Software, I still own (and enjoy) much of my Atari overstock. It's wonderful to see Atari alive and well here on your site!
God's best to you!

I programmed Domination, Trutti Frutti and Hotel Alien for the Atari 400 & 800 back in the days when 48k was huge. Just found your site. Neat!

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,

WONDERFUL WEBSITE, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE THE MANUALS SCANS ALONG THE BOXES. THANKS 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! R.M. · 2008-01-09

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.. Don Palmer · 2007-07-02

What a great site to see the stuff I played with !!!

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? Atri · 2006-05-09
I really like the 2600 games section, thanks for all the info. RDxZorge · 2006-05-09
Pretty nice collection! HMS · 2006-05-07
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. :) maximebeauvais · 2006-04-27
hey, I don't know why but I never saw that site before???!!!!

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

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... Steve · 2006-02-17
Wonderful Database!!!
I love the ability to bring up software by author or company, verrrry verrrry nice! 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. Jeff Fulton · 2006-01-07

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.

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). Andy · 2005-04-26

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!

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

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.

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. |
