The history of the Atari ST in the USA #1. Video Version https://youtu.be/xxe4cV1eydY?si=0b6_K1s-Y7sLDf0s We continue taking a look at Atari after the Warner Sale specifically focusing on ST Log magazine which is still an insert into American Atari 8bit Computer Magazine, Analog at this point in history. Our focus is the ST and as entertainment machine, but it was such a great general purpose computer that we will stop along the way to look at some of the more interesting applications especially if they have an entertainment focus or if we used the applications when we had an ST in the 80’s and early 90’s while stopping briefly to look at some of the more interesting magazine articles. Let’s get started.

Republished Decamber 24th 2023 From 2019: The best @#$! Christmas Ever! The Season 2 finale of Into The Vertical Blank. In this episode we pull out all the stops and explain exactly why Atari means so much to us. This honest, naked, all-cards-on-the-table, frank episode includes an Eponymous Story named "The Best #*@! Christmas Ever" that tells all. There is also discussion and a remix that incorporates the entirety of Season 2. This is probably not the final episode ever of Into The Vertical Blank, but if it was, we'd be satisfied that we achieved what we set out to do: exorcise the demons of our past and discover why we are here in the first place.

The history of the #AtariST in the USA defined by ST Log magazine. In this series we will be going through the American History of the #Atari ST by focusing on the #STLog magazine, which started as a insert in the Atari 8bit magazine, #Analog, and then became its own animal for a number of years only to be incorporated back into Analog magazine as Atari focused its efforts on videos games systems and the European market.

New, full version, remastered, new content, new edits, full HD presentation. GCC were masters of video game design in the early 1980's. They created Ms. Pac-Man and went on to become a "secret" development house for Atari. They are responsible for many golden age Atari games, but so far, the credits for their games have been incomplete and hard to locate. After working for 5 years, Into The Vertical Blank may have finally "cracked the code" on the credits for GCC Atari games by pestering and annoying ex-GCCers Doug Macrae, Michael Feinstein, Steve Golson and Jonathan Hurd until they finally put pen to paper, researched, reached out to fellow ex-employees, and put together a definitive list of credits. This is full story. It combines part 1 and part 2 with some new information.

S6:E8:Goth and Leong Atari ST Bedroom Coding Heroes Gary “Goth” Wheaton and Robert Leong are two of the more unsung heroes of the Atari SY Bedroom Game coding Underground. In this episode we take a well deserved if all too brief look at some of their combined and separate efforts. I started down a rabbit hole a few weeks ago when I wanted to find a Galaga style game to play on my Atari ST. I knew that most of the best Arcade style translations for the ST were made by bedroom coders for shareware, freeware and license ware, but I had only even dipped my toes into investigating that Atari scene. I knew of Dave Munsie and his legendary status because of his Kid Kong and Asteroida games as well as of course Jeff Minter and his beastie zarjaz filled ST extravaganza, but that was about it. What I found was a wide open treasure trove of arcade games and translations of yesterday year hits that needed a deep dive. I started with Robert Leong’s Annihilator, examined the credits on Atarimania, dove in and am now hooked on the ST Bedroom game dev scene. What follows is an audio edited version of the first three videos of the Bedroom Coded classics series, focusing on Robert Leong and Gary Goth Wheaton. It’s hardly exhaustive, and there is much more to explore, especially from Gary, but I think it’s a great introduction to a scene that has not been explored much previously. That’s it for this time. There is so so so much more to explore game, interview and story-wise with the Atari ST bedroom coded game series. Much more to come in the future.
