Hi Has anybody got original cassette or disk sleeves I can borrow of any UK English Software games eg. Hijack, Airstrike etc etc Phil

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

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).

Hey ! I´m really enjoy this page! Specially the 8Bit section. It remebers my on the "good old" times!!!! Thanks ;-) Greets Andy (from Germany)

Hello, please teel me, where can I find download of the games for 8bit (atr or xex format) "Miecz i Magia" and "Maszyna Czasu" ? I cannot find it anywhere. Thank you for answer. Lucas from Czech Republic.

Yesss! Home Vision and Bit Corp scans! The more obscure PAL game scans, the better! Keep up the good work!

By far my favorite resource ofr Atari 8bit information. The Database is absolutely AWSOME !~! Thanks you for all your hard work.

Great site. Very, very good job. Congratulations and thank you (especially for memories)

This is the best www site I have ever faced...The best retro flashback...thank GOD for ATARIMANIA !!!

It's just too bad that so few people remember the great computers made by Atari. For someone like me that used to create Atari games this site rocks.

Absolutely outstanding effort - keep up the great work !

One of the best, if not the best Atari 8-bit site! Nice to relive all the moments playing my 600XL in the 80s. Keep up the good work!

greeeaaat site!

Excellent site, the scans are great. A goldmine of information for any old games lover. keep up the good work!

I love this site! Keep on scanning those PAL games!

hmm, what happened to this great site? I am missing the search engine, top ten of games and light text on darker background!

Great website, folks! Keep it up!

Absolutely fantastic. I found all my favourite games. Great!

Bravo pour votre site cela fait plaisir de voir que l'ATARI n'est pas mort. Si cela peux vous servir je mets les scans de magazines de mon site a votre dispositions. www.microSTalgia.fr.st

Fantastic website guys - keep up the good work! Karl @ Atari Explorer www.atari-explorer.com (Member of the AHS)

Fantastic site! Just blown me away.. What a pitty I've lost some of my Atari PC ads though..

Great site, it's hard to find site with good XL/XE stuff, but this site has got tons of it. Keep up the good work!

I have always wanted an Atari Log Book...this is excellent!!!

Actually, I`m one of the "enemy", an c64 fan that usually hangs out at lemon64...but I gotta hand it to you guys, this site is very impressive :)

What an excellent resource - Just came across your site and found quite a few downloads that cannot be found elsewhere (esp ones from UK companies). A Big THANK YOU!

Le meiilleur site toutes langues confondues ! Dès que je rentre en France, j'enverrai mes archives pour contribuer au site Mille merci pour le superbe travail !

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)

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!

author of "Dark Star" and "House of Usher". Congrats! Brilliant site!

Nice site, i like, that remind me some old good years !!

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!

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.

author of Space Thief & Mt. Nuke. Two games published in Compute! magazine. Found site via Google search.

Fantastic site! Having developed games since I was a kid, this site gives me tears in my eyes. Got to play Goonies again after 20 years. Thank you

Excellent job guys, well done!!!

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!

Nice Site and a lot of good memories! Keep up the good work, it's appreciated ;-D

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 :-)

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! Freddy - Atari Preservation Project http://www.abbuc.de/app/

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 -

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.

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.
