Discussing the Atari ST 1040

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “My Very First Computer!“…

Rayn: My very first computer was an Atari ST 1040, which my father purchased for the family around 1988, when I was just eight years old! So, when I saw my friend sharing this picture on his FB wall a little while ago, it instantly put a smile on my face, and brought back so many childhood memories! Little Green Desktop, for the win!

My favorite game was Alternate Reality: The City! My older brother and I spent many, many hours playing it! Meanwhile, my sister and I loved to take turns playing the game, Mouse Trap! 🙂 Ahh, the days!

Nick M.: Your age is showing

Rayn: Your anus is showing. Oh, wait… My bad. That’s just your mouth. Ha! 🙂

Nick M.: Oh hell naw get off the Internet and tell me that

Sara: Let’s not forget Leisure Suit Larry!

Discussing Atari 1040ST PC Version of Introduction Song to the Classic Video Game, “Alternate Reality: The City”

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Atari 1040ST PC Version of Introduction Song to the Classic Video Game, ‘Alternate Reality: The City’“…

Rayn: This never ceases to put a smile on my face! 🙂

Alternate Reality – The City: Intro Song [Atari 1040ST PC]:

Steven C.: I never heard of the game

Rayn: It’s from 1986, but I first played it when I was eight years old. Most probably haven’t heard of it, but it’s still one of my favorite games of all time! It brings back so many memories when I listen to the songs from it! I had to upload them to YouTube myself, since I couldn’t find the Atari 1040ST version, which sounds somewhat different from other versions, since it’s from a computer, and not a console, like all of the other ones I found on YouTube. 

Rayn: I was eight years old in 1988, by the way. 🙂

Sara: I love this song. It’s still so catchy!

Rayn: ‘Tis true!
