I had the same computer! Always felt a little cheated because my friends all had Commodore 64s but I guess the Atari was on sale at Sears that Christmas. Is that a tape cassette drive with it? I remember my grandfather got me a French language course that would play from the tapes and then load a program to administer an exam. I think I was 8 years old.

What you see on the photos is the floppy disk drive, however, I started with a tape recorder and it was a pain! I was also about to get the C64 first but the Atari could display up to 256 colors, the C64 had only 16.

I didn't know that about the colours! Of course I wasn't doing 'digital art' back then, just programming for fun. I think my first game on it was Jupiter Landing.

I was doing digital art / animation and programming machine code (not assembly) on the C64. I spent so many weekends and nights on that thing... when I should have been doing school studies. I guess it worked out, because even when I finished school, none of the educational institutions had started teaching what I had already learnt. I was so nerdy with programming, that my sisters could whip me at most games we had.
