TomHOST
Nothing further than that.
TomHOST
But the original SimCity Classic, the original MS-DOS, the first time I played was the Atari ST.
TomHOST
That version of the game, I loved.
TomHOST
I would play that nonstop.
Colin PorchGUEST
I have a heart condition that flares up.
Colin PorchGUEST
I stopped work on it, and I put the Atari ST in its monitor and the disk drives.
Colin PorchGUEST
I stored them originally in the attic, and then when we moved house, they went into the garage.
Colin PorchGUEST
And then 2012, 2013, something like that, I attended an ocean reunion in Manchester.
Colin PorchGUEST
The computer worked after a fashion.
Colin PorchGUEST
And I got in touch with a few friends, David East in particular from Bug Bite.
Colin PorchGUEST
He gave me another Atari ST.
Colin PorchGUEST
He took mine and said, I'll get this one fixed.

Aaron DoughtyHOST
Believe it or not, this got ported all over because you gotta.
Aaron DoughtyHOST
And this was released for every system the same year, 1990, for DOS, the Atari ST, and the 8-bits, the C64, the ZX, and the Amstrad CPC.
Aaron DoughtyHOST
This is an EC-Associate joint.
Aaron DoughtyHOST
One disc hose.

Jeff FultonHOST
What are we doing here today, Steve? We are doing
Steve FultonHOST
our Halloween special, Elvira Games on the Atari ST.
Jeff FultonHOST
Elvira on the Atari ST.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Into the vertical blinds Yeah,
Steve FultonHOST
did you know there's like three Elvira games on the Atari ST and one on the Lynx that doesn't appear anyplace else?
Jeff FultonHOST
Well, but it's only part of a Lynx game, right?
Steve FultonHOST
It's half the Lynx game.
7 MINS LATER
Jeff FultonHOST
I'm going to play it and turn it down, and then we'll talk about it a little bit.
DrexyHOST
I'll give an example of this, right, which is probably proper old man stuff.
DrexyHOST
But I used to get these games on the old Atari ST back in the day out of a car boot, literally every Sunday.
DrexyHOST
And these games will come with what they called trainers, which were basically just cheats.
DrexyHOST
And what would happen is you take the game home, you'll turn on all these cheats, you'd be the game in the week, and you'll be back down the market the next Sunday to get another game because obviously you've beat this game.

RickHOST
Yeah.
RickHOST
Well, we didn't ever have Street Fighter, did we, though? And if we did, it would have been on the Atari ST.
JoHOST
Yeah, yeah, it was.
RickHOST
So it would have been...
Scott ManleyHOST
Okay, so this is how it all works, right? Obviously, the controller is plugged in via USB, but over the wire, its drivers actually generate MIDI, right? Which is a digital instrument communication standard developed in the 1980s.
Scott ManleyHOST
And, you know, I learned about MIDI from the Atari ST, which I owned, which wasn't as good as an Amiga, I understand, but I did learn MIDI, so I sort of ended up coming out ahead.
Scott ManleyHOST
Now, we have Mido here, which is like, you know, a...
Scott ManleyHOST
Python library, which will allow MIDI, you know, to interpret that.
Yat SiuGUEST
But then I had to transcribe it and do all that kind of stuff.
Yat SiuGUEST
So I wrote one of the very first pieces of MIDI software back on the Atari ST because I had like these MIDI ports.
Yat SiuGUEST
And so I was playing on the primitive keyboard at the time, I think it was like Korg or Roland, it was one of those.
Yat SiuGUEST
And as I was playing, you know, basically it translated those notes basically into something that could then be printed or edited on the screen.
