Thx for this video, great work... unfortunately almost unbearable because of this terrible terrible synthesis voice. To be honest I couldn't get to the end which is a pity cause the whole thing is great and well written, nice pace, etc etc. It would gain a lot with a real voice.
@UKRetroGames Thanks alot for pointing out the 800XE. The whole jist of the presentation could be generalized into the observation that Atari oversaturated the market with shitty computers and failed to do proper research and development. Consumers weren't stupid and even "Atari", a name once synonymous with videogames, came to be associated with just plain getting ripped off. The only good thing was the music software.
@UKRetroGames , No it wasn't mention this time around..I understand that it was apart of the Atari range..but didn't mention it purely because of it's known faults..I wanted to just keep it with actual product range which was completed with no bugs..and no it isn't mention at any section of the video..sry :(... I will be at some stage doing an Amiga one..
@GAMERSHARK100 Yeah, it looks like an acoustic coupler... never had the pleasure of using one, but they look seriously 1980s hackerish (i.e. brilliant) :)
Hey I enjoyed this, I posted it in my Classic Gaming / Computing Facebook group as well as the youtube gamers Facebook group, might get you more views and/or subs.
Thanx my man..really appreciate it, it's been some time since I created a new video to show on the channel, beginning to run out of ideas for future stuff..hope my Viva Amiga colleague won't be to angry with me doing a piece on Atari..thanx again.
