Hi Thomas,
Yeah, I often wondered what language the Atari games were written in. Kind of
thought maybe Assembler.
Forgot about the hardware specific sounds etc. With the Microsoft Extended
Basic for my Atari 800 XL I had 4 sound channels. Hated when I went from that
to BasicA, GW Basic, Qu
Hi,
Yeah, and even if we could get the original source code for say Packman,

Hi Michael,
Well, it all depends on the copyright status of the game in question,
and how easy the game can be converted to audio.
First, while it is true some companies like Activision don't seam to

Packman, etc that do
Hi Michael,
It may just be semantics, but as a game developer, I can tell you that we can
not just take an existing game and poof make it accessible. Well unless we
have the original source code. And even then that would be mostly about the
graphics and moving them etc. What you are actuall
really have to be careful when you
start talking about making existing games accessible.

Yes, old Atari systems and games are now collecters items. Depending on

Oh, yeah. I remember playing Popeye. I loved going after Bluto and
