Hi Thomas,
Yeah I think that I might have had my Atari 800 xl in 1984. Can't remember
exactly what year it was. I even get mixed up on which games I played on the
Atari 2600 and which ones I played on the 800 XL. But I was programming games
using the Microsoft Extended Basic cartridge. The Atari being a game computer
had better sound ability. It had a four channel sound mixer where as the IBM
compatible computers only had a single channel. The Commodore 64 which was out
at the same time as the Atari 800 XL had a built in sound synthesizer. That
might have been cool to learn to use for game sounds, but I went with the Atari
instead. I always felt that the IBM machines could have done more with sound.
Finally they did when they added a sound card.
