Entertaining and great to have an archive of wide and useful information from the wild days of Atari. Thanks for sharing and devoting time to this short by interesting computing era.

Hi guys! Thank you so much for offering this Atari ROM player - I've been looking at those "retro" gaming systems, and it looks like a split decision on them. But here, you have made available even more - now I need to buy a USB joystick! Thanks again for this resource - you have a new fan!

The Atari ST the best of the best! I still remember my monitor showing 16 colors, while all my friends had very sad CGA - 4 colors monitors. The best compilation around.

Thank you very much for this website. Everything is very organised. I finally found a serious website related to Atari, and all the fans around the world. Greetings from Costa Rica. Danilo

I use to have an Atari 2600 and later got the 7800 which was much better graphically due to the better technology, at the time. Atari did some really good work back in the day considering the lack of technology they had to work with. The website makes a great resource for all Atari fans. Thank-You

This website is both an excellent technical resource and a great source for Atari nostalgia / fandom. Thank you for publishing this website!

I love this site, thank you for the memories!

Great work man, very organized. Thank you for the effort.

Happy this site is still active - keep it up!

Awesome ! so glad Atari is still "alive", thanks !

Hello again, Rom! Just ran across the Sinmax Astrobattle while doing some dusting and thought of you! This proto really belongs in the hands of a PAL collector.... ------------------------- I agree, Lou. But I don't collect carts. Try contacting Marco on AtariAge.

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 !!!

Thanks for this site! Plenty of awesome rom downloads for the Atari Jaguar! I actually have plenty of the ISO's for the Atari Jaguar CD which are listed as "MISSING" if there is any way for me to ad them to help out others looking for them let me know! I would like to help and make them available if needed!

long time fan of Atari. Great piece of history of Atari, manuals & more. Keep doing great job. ATARI!!

Love what you do mate. Keep it up :)

Congrats for the great work. Browsing in the site was like a time travel to me. I remembered of the great time that I spent why my beloveds father and brother. I get some tears here also. Thank you for this feeling. Best wishes from Brazil and long life to you all.

Awesome site. I love the 8 and 16 bit eras of gaming most of all.

una coleccion muy completa de programas

This is a very great Job!!! Congrats for do it so well!! This is a piece of history, not only of videogames, but of humanity in self. Regarts from México.

Thanks for setting up this website. It's very informative and enjoyable to view as well. Great job!

Hello.... I am from Indonesia.... this website is amazing .... how easy we find information about Atari Here ....I can also download various games atari here .... really this site is very extraordinary.....!

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.

This site has totally re-interested me in Atari Computers. Though I would like to see more programming books and resources for each system, I am still AMAZED! Thank you!

I believe I have a working cassette tape of "The Adventures of Oswald" - super rare. Does anyone have the ability to convert it to a ROM?

Thanks for the ROMs. The site is very cool! Bringing back many memories. :)

Just unbelievable! Thank you for doing this incredible work. I am feeling like a kid again!!!! --- Thanks Fernando!

Thanks for the site, it's bringing back some wonderful memories. --- Thank You Emlyn for the feedback!

Thanx for this site! Greetings from Germany --- Thank You David!

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.

I'm have original programs of Atari ST In Italy Manual of Word Perfect Calamus Programs and Cad programs Nice Miro -- Wow, those are very rare versions. Any chance we could add scans to our database? Marko / Atarimania ST

Brilliant site, making me relive my memories of the Atari 800XL which I had in 1983. I have bought another one this week to relive the 8bit fun. So many resources here makes me feel like a kid again. --- Thank You Shawn :)

Thank you very much! What a great Website! Greetings from Brazil! --- Thanks Matheus!

I had been wanted to see your website in 1986. So thanks for your job. I have an ATARI 800 XL . I bought it in 1986 when I was 16 years old. I really enjoyed with this computer. --- Thanks, Bulent! It's a great piece of hardware :)

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

Many thanks for this wonderful site. My early (non-x86) PCs in chronological order: 1. ZX81 kit 2. VIC-20 3. Atari 400 4. Atari 800XL 5. Atari 1040ST

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 :)

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

Nice! Just purchased an Atari 800! Used to own one in the early 1980's. Looks like I'll be back to visit often!

very nice website and a good roms download too

Nice website wish i could donate

I ran across a software package that I released for the Atari back in 1981 here on your site. Brings back great memories. I still have original copies at home. Thanks!

You guys ROCK! Awesome job with all y'all have done!

Awesome work. Fantastic website.

Hi thank you very much for your site !

Thanks for putting it all together! the mag section really made me time travel...soooo cool!!!!

Yay - MY 'Space Robot' variation made the database! So happy to have added to it all! :)

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.

Great site. Thanks a ton.

A lot infos on our favorite Atari 8-bit computer, good job!

Thanks a million for such an amazing website.
