Blast from the past
Sunday, July 6th, 2008My old Atari ST has been locked in a box for years. Today, out of the blue, I decided to open the box again and check the machine was still working. My first surprise was that its color changed. I don’t know what happened but the light grey disappeared and got replaced by a dirty, sick-looking, brownish yellow. I have no idea how it happened, but it looks nasty.
The second surprise is that everything works like a charm - machine and disks. I expected both to be dead by now. But no, more than 20 years after I bought it, the Atari ST still works flawlessly. I watched a few of our old demos and I now realize one thing: our taste sucked. Check out those beautiful RGB colors in “Inverted Landscapes”, one of our first screens…
