#151: Atari ST SHOW #1: Did Atari Knowingly Give Away Pirate Software? + ST News

In 1989 Atari Distributed a 4 disc game collection with new STs called “2- Great PD Games” that notoriously include some non-pd content. The Atari ST Show #1 we deep dive into the contents of these 4 disks and answer the question “Did Atari Knowingly do this?” We also look at the games and authors as a dive into the hobbyist history of the ST in the uSA. Plus, we take a brief look at a C library for developing STe games. 

The Atari ST Show is brought to you by Into The Vertical Blank. Host Jeff Fulton (old man code).

For the next video I will create a dual boot and try Davinci Resolve on a different flavor or linux just for video editing (rocky Linux)

The Front Cover of Start Magazine was chosen for the thumbnail not just for it’s excellent photo of the ST, but because it was the First issue and this is the first episode of the new series.

“The term "Jack Attack Victim" is an informal phrase used to describe individuals, particularly employees, suppliers, or partners, who were negatively affected by the notoriously tough, ruthless, and aggressive management style of Jack Tramiel at both Commodore and later at Atari”
