Josh RenaudSince Deuce added Atari ST/VT52 support to SyncTerm, I've been revisiting several ST BBS door games. I was particularly taken by DDST (as in "D&D").It's a pretty good adventure game and it uses VT52 colors effectively, particularly a screen-flashing effect. It can be frustrating, but you *can* make progress, and it has good features you don't often see in door games (like "Save"!).Well, this morning I finally beat it!<a href="https://digipres.club/tags/atarist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atarist</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atari</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a>

Boris KretzingerTreated myself with a sealed copy of Dark Chambers on the Atari 7800 just to open it up and use it. Nice addition to the collection. I got a cartridge from <a href="https://hessen.social/@thornpw" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thornpw</a> , but now I have a complete copy 🤩🕹️<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atari</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari7800" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atari7800</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagegames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintagegames</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videogames</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gamecollecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamecollecting</a>

Amin GirasolAnother wonderful interview by <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@savetz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@savetz</a>, this time with Tom Zimmerman, part of the four-person team at Atari that worked on the never-released AMY sound chip: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_AMY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_AMY</a>Tom comes across as an absolute gentleman.His description of what the AMY could do is terrific. It synthesised audio using up to 16 oscillators for the fundamental and harmonics to build rich, complex sounds. It could also be run "in reverse"; quoting Wikipedia:<blockquote>An input sample could be run through a Fast Fourier transform to extract the spectral pattern, and then that pattern could be input to the AMY to set up the oscillators.</blockquote>Tom contrasts the AMY's design against FM synths like the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/YamahaDX7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YamahaDX7</a> and sample-based synthesizers.Tom's words of wisdom at the end of the interview are wonderful too. A recommended listen, even if <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Atari</a> isn't your thing.<a href="https://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-431-tom-zimmerman-amy-chip" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-431-tom-zimmerman-amy-chip</a><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SoundSynthesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundSynthesis</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/LostFutures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LostFutures</a>
