🕶️ A view of its UI (v. 0.0.11, on Linux, with the Scanlines grid effect, giving an LCD effect) with the game Desert Strike - Return to the Gulf: the player controls a helicopter, taking off from a helicopter carrier at sea. The menus are at the top of the interface.

📚️ Gearlynx is a libre and multiplatform Atari Lynx console emulator, focusing on the accuracy of the 65C02 processor emulation—a low-power version of the Western Design Center CMOS 6502 processor used in this ATARI portable console. It offers a high-quality interface, support for window resizing, filters (dithering, LCD effect, bilinear anti-aliasing), state saving, gamepad support, drag-and-drop content, debugging (full debugger), command line, and external interfaces via libretro. A good emulator.

I ported my experimental Z-Code interpreter to the Atari ST, mainly because all other platforms have better options and there is no good GEM interpreter for the Atari.

It also runs V3-V8, passes all tests included in the Frotz distribution, has command history and the Notepad-feature with copy and paste from the story window for notekeeping (notes are saved in the Quetzal compliant save files)

An Atari emulator showing A Mind Forever Voyaging running. To right right, there is a Notepad window that contains some notes for progressing in the game.Anchorhead running on the interpreter. Shown here because it's a V8 game that makes good use of the format.

Atari have re-released the classic building sim Transport Tycoon Deluxe, but in doing so they're making it slightly more difficult to get OpenTTD.

I played Astro Marines Corps to beat the Level Up Score. It was an interesting game with great Technics but level design that could be better. Here is Part 1 of 4 of my Adventures

I think it was 1989 when I bought a pocket-sized #Atari #Portfolio to use as a notetaker in uni classes. My #arthritis was too severe to take notes by hand and typewriters were too heavy for me to lug around (plus too loud for anyone else in the room).

I'm a touch-typist and even with that tiny chiclet keyboard could manage 40 wpm, which was adequate.

It did freak out some professors as, unlike those with heads bowed scribbling notes, I could watch the prof the entire time without needing to look down.

Fabulous little machine, ran on AA batteries. ❤️

Was reading Not Always Right and this made my eye twitch...

*Early* ?

I grew up with a Sears-branded Pong/tennis-like thing and Atari VCS. Calling the Xbox an early console...

My son is trying some old games
on #Atari (1040 STF)
Most of them fail to start
Unsurprisingly, one that stands the test of time is... #Civilization :-)
