Also found this Vintage Atari 520 ST Game System Machine on Goodwill. It's currently priced at $60 with the auction ending on May 29. Someday I’d love to get more into the Atari machines, both the 8-bit and 16-bit, they seem to be a bit of a dark horse that could have been much more popular even than they were.

Confession of an Amiga enthusiast back in the day: I always liked the black and white hires mode of the Atari ST, which to me looked slicker than even the original Macintosh. And I still love that "printed page" experience of environments like Medley Interlisp.
Did you used to make computer games using STOS or AMOS?
I tried but I was too young to afford the resources I needed and ended up using copies pirated from friends. Even so it was a much better experience than the other development environments I was using at the time.
I've created stub page with some information / pointers related to V4SA(+) fpga m68k computer, which was meant for Amiga, but turns out it can be repurposed for Atari TOS / FreeMiNT stuff. https://bus-error.nokturnal.pl/V4SA Probably I will be expanding it the more I will learn about it. Currently Atari support is evolving and looks promising. #atari#atarist#v4sa
For #VGMWednesday I'm going way back to the #AtariST. This splash screen and the music always conjured up an epic medieval adventure. tbh my overwhelming memory of playing the game was avoiding the enemy army and trying to find the cute pixel art villages. (Sorry, this is the best version I can find. It takes a while to start... And it's not the same without the steady thunk of a floppy drive loading over the top)
