Video Chess – November 1979, Atari Archive The final VCS game from the 1970s was a long time coming.

They wanted to make the world's best video game. They made the world's best selling computer.

After my recent Amazon Q Developer develops 6502 assembly language I was asked by the folks on Redit whether it could tackle sprite multiplexing (C64 only has 8 hardware sprites). At the airport so thought I would give it a go - 22 sprites (src - gist.github.com/094459/13c06...)

I put the TV on the floor and plopped a huge beanbag in front of it. Works great, the cat loves it.

I made some updates to my website over the weekend, which are long overdue, including setting up a page to start posting some older interviews I'd done. This one is with Arthur Luehrmann, a scientist and early BASIC proponent who wrote the first artillery game: www.atariarchive.org/an-interview...
