A lethargic, uninspired episode where you can tell we are over this.
Will this be the last one? What will we do next?

Atari ST History + New Home Brew Podcast 2.

Video Version: youtube.com/watch?v=zqyqyXYNh8Q&feature=youtu.be

We begin our Tramiel era Atari history exploration in this episode by digging into the World of Atari News and the Cover Disk for August 1989, The Premier issue Number one or ST Format Magazine. This era of Atari History post Warner has not been covered in detail in too many places, so to right that wrong, we are going to the SOURCE, ST Format magazine. The most successful and comprehensive magazine to cover the world of the Atari ST and Corporate Atari from 1989 onward.

Plus New Atari ST Home Brew Games!

In 1989 Atari Distributed a 4 disc game collection with new STs called “2- Great PD Games” that notoriously include some non-pd content. The Atari ST Show #1 we deep dive into the contents of these 4 disks and answer the question “Did Atari Knowingly do this?” We also look at the games and authors as a dive into the hobbyist history of the ST in the uSA. Plus, we take a brief look at a C library for developing STe games.

The Atari ST Show is brought to you by Into The Vertical Blank. Host Jeff Fulton (old man code).

Notes:

This is my first full length video post on Windows 11. It uses a combination of Kdenlivve and Shotcut, neither of which can hold a candle to Power Director in windows. For the next video I will create a dual boot and try Davinci Resolve on a different flavor or linux just for video editing (rocky Linux)

The Front Cover of Start Magazine was chosen for the thumbnail not just for it’s excellent photo of the ST, but because it was the First issue and this is the first episode of the new series.

“The term "Jack Attack Victim" is an informal phrase used to describe individuals, particularly employees, suppliers, or partners, who were negatively affected by the notoriously tough, ruthless, and aggressive management style of Jack Tramiel at both Commodore and later at Atari”

Teenager Greg Kuperberg wrote three fast-action arcade games for the IBM-PC in 1982 and 1983 (an almost impossible of feat at the time) and then took another path. In this rare examination of his work, we look at the legacy and inspiration of this "would-be" game programming auteur, who "moved-on" while at the top of his game.
