Though times have thankfully changed since I started my “Homebound” lists, I’ll keep going with things while I work through my favourites. This one was a long time coming and should have been out sooner but seeing as I’ve been playing recently on my new-old computer I can’t […]
Though I do already have an Atari STFM in my retro computer collection there are a couple of limitations with that model that made upgrades less appealing and I REALLY wanted to finally start tinkering around one. Memory upgrades need soldering in early STs, the operating system (known […]
Not long ago my parents stopped by my house and dropped off another random box of things that they had in storage which was followed up with the line “we think you might want some of this”. A lot of the Atari items I now have come from […]

After finally getting my Atari ST out of storage and running again, I also got a chance to dig through my games collection and see what was still working amongst all the disks that came with it. Though I did get a few compilations over the years, including […]
After much time spent going through games and magazines from my time as a rabid Atari ST user I finally got the old hardware (and more) from out of storage. After more than twenty years being packed away, they are still in great condition and within a few […]
After poring through a box or two of Atari ST games during the last few months, another box arrived recently but this time instead of games it was one of the prominent gaming magazines for the platform. ST Action was a UK gaming magazine that first launched in […]
