If you're the person who just won the eBay auction for seven "1985 Antic Software Atari ST Game Disks" for $107.50, please get in touch. I want to make sure the monochrome version of "Mom and Me" gets archived. #atarist #atari #digipres #kirschen #antic #ebay #archive

In recent weeks I've been playing "DDST," a fun adventure game for Atari ST BBSes that I had never tried before. I *love* that it lets you save basically whenever you want. Makes it possible to avoid losing progress while exploring dungeons crowded with monsters and traps. My wife took a quick peek while I was in a dungeon and asked if it was a QR code. Nope ... just some VT52 text art! #atari #atarist #bbs #games #gamedev #vt52 #textmode

I hope tonight Santa can avoid getting entangled in the U.S.S. Enterprise's transporter beam. 🎅 🖖 Here for your viewing pleasure is "Star Trek: The Trouble With The Rangifer Tarandus," a short holiday ANSImation I made for Blocktronics a while back. 🦌 #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #santa #christmas #startrek #ansi #ansiart #ansimation #textmode #pixelart #xmas2024 #christmas2024 #mastoart #bbs #textmode

Ugh ... sprites and animation are so hard. And the limitations of creating this for IGS makes them even harder! No wonder I waited six years since the last time I attempted to make an animation with a story/dialogue. I made a ton of progress on Calvin today, and I wrote a script. Hopefully now I can stop spinning my wheels on the coding, and bear down on putting it all together. #igs #atarist #pixelart #animation #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #atari #bbs #bbsing
