Sixteen kilobytes on the 5200. Sixty-four on the XEGS

Actually, RAM was the most limiting factor back then. Everyone wanted more, so Atari delivered

IIRC when Tramiel bought Atari their vision was all about the 16/32 bit computers but did quite a few things to bring in cash based on the existing Atari designs - and chips. That's the Atari 65 and 130XE too just being rehashes of older 8 bit Bushnell computers.

I'm all Tramiel-Atari era myself so never even reflected on the 8 bit re-releases though so I might be misremembering something.

Ok

HowAbt2day,

69 yo. And the sleep issue is more prostate related than Atari business model.

I was big into gaming and computers back then and this is the first time I’ve heard of this.

On paper, it sounds great… A 5200 with more memory and no shitty joysticks?

Compatible with the Atari 400/800 software?

Shit, I would have bought one just for Star Raiders. Of course this was also 2 years after the Amiga and Atari ST battles as well. Why would anyone want an 8 bit experience in that era?

My wife used to enjoy this game until her mother started playing. I should ask her about playing again.

Geodad,

It’s my chill out game. I have heard people talk about Stardew Valley, but I can’t seem to find the physical cartridge, and I’m ideologically opposed to completely digital licensing.

henfredemars, (edited )

I love Stardew! Definitely my favorite chillout game, but I think it’s a little bit less chill than Animal Crossing because it feels like there’s never enough time to do everything in an in-game day.

I only ever played the PC version of Stardew. This might not be totally accurate, but I understand it started on PC.

Geodad,

I’ll have to look into that. If it’s on PC, I can get it and play it with Proton/WINE.
