@@ESIG3800 so I used to have a 400, 800, 600xl and maybe a 130 back in the day. I bought a load of cartridges, tapes, disks. Nowadays you can Google for them. One source is www.atarimania.com/pgemainsoft.awp?system=8&type=G But there are various French archives too. Recall these are 8k, 16k roms. Don't overclick. They download so instantly that you can get 10 copies before you realise!!!
@@ESIG3800if you have the 400 (that membrane keyboard...) I would keep that. Run an emulator like Atari800Win on a PC to get similar experience. I got the Mini simply because it boots faster than Retropie and plays Star Raiders no problems. The Pi emulator can crash too often for my liking but the X86 version seems much more stable
@@stephenhookings1985 Any chance you would be willing to make me a copy of Star Raiders and Zaxxon? Yeah, I could prob figure it out, but like you, these were the games I loved and my computer gaming skills never matured. All to say, I'm rubbish at getting old stuff, etc. Let me know, please!
Where did you get the source for the games, that's the problem I'm having?
