NO MEETING THIS MONTH!
HELLO WORLD!
SPACE will NOT be meeting this December. The December 10, 2021, meeting has been cancelled.
Well, I made it to the SPACE Election & Meeting and stayed for the duration this time. Here is the Secretary’s Report for November of 2021.
We have virtually never had to cancel a meeting before, and hopefully this is a rarity we won’t have to repeat. We very much hope to be back on track next month. What is on your Atari Christmas wish-list? If I had the time, maybe a FujiNet! I’m still thinking about it. Lately, I have been revisiting all those calculators that Atari Corp. had put out around 1987-90, or so. There are so many models, but no definitive list! At the moment, I am frustrated that I have several pictures of one model that I can’t come up with a model number for. Did you buy an Atari calculator at that time? I remember seeing the cheaper one in stores, maybe grocery stores or pharmacies even. I was trying to remember whether I ever owned one. It’s weird. I feel like I did have one of the cheap “card” ones once, But, why would I have let it go? Maybe I only dreamt it? Thanks, keep using that Atari, and come to your next SPACE meeting: Friday, JANUARY 14. 2022.
The meeting started at 7:30 PM on Friday, November 12, 2021. One of the members showed off his Side 3 cartridge and his Atari 800XL with an Ultimate 1MB upgrade in it. He showed off a sweet port of the arcade game “Time Pilot.” I have seen this game in the DOMs before, and it is a nice translation of the arcade game. Very well done with excellent graphics and effects. There was another game he presented, a demo of a game called “Final Assault,” which is like DOOM for the A8. That also was a great-looking game. Nevertheless, it was a great demo. I quite enjoyed it. Also, I like the technology being used to modernize older Atari systems. Also, there are seven members paid up with their membership dues. As Greg stated, we previously elected officers kept our positions in the Election. No one else was interested in running, as stated in the Treasurer’s Report. The Meeting adjourned at 8:00 PM. So, this is the end of the Secretary’s Report for November. Have Happy Holidays, everybody! In the words of the late, great, Stan Lee… EXCELSIOR!
Five members were present for the November SPACE Meeting. We held elections for New Year 2022, and since no member was interested in running for any positions, we all agreed to keep all positions currently held intact for 2022. All five members present voted in favor and all five seconded the decision at the same time. We only sold three DOMs for the month for $9.00, and added to last month’s bank balance of $1,030.74. We now have a balance of $1,039.74. Remember that we will have a SPACE Auction next month. So, mark your calendars for a December 10th Meeting. Also, because we don’t want to be sharing food, there will be no need to bring a dish to share. Hopefully, we will have a SPACE Birthday Party for the July meeting next year. No guarantee by the way things are going. Tom brought in a multimedia unit that we tried to use for the November Meeting. After a lot of adjusting, the best we could get was a decent picture. But, we could not get all the colors the right hues. The yellow and red were not accurate, but the screen was readable. Tom is going to see if he can figure it out. He was able to pull in YouTube with the in-house WiFi, but some of the content would not load. Knowing Tom, he will not give up. Have a great Thanksgiving, and I will see you all next month for a long-awaited SPACE Auction! UPDATE: The December 2021 Meeting is cancelled. The next meeting is on January 14, 2022. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Thanks for understanding. TRIVIA TIME! The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. Now, over three decades later, the entire Internet is interconnected worldwide because of it.
Message from Captain Irata: “Joy to the World! Atari’s come! Let nerds receive their games!” HOO-RAH!

fish swimming among seaweed and coral. It flashes a lot, which may indicate a PAL issue, but I am not sure. It is interesting. It may not be as graphically pleasing as the others, but it still is interesting. I will show a pic of it now for you to see. Welcome again to another Atari 8-bit DOM Review! We will another double-DOM review for November 2021 and November 2020. So, let’s get started with the DOMs!
The gradients look nice on the screen for the grass and lighting effects. It has a lot of detail for a file that is coded with only 256 bytes of data. I commend Agenda for the attempt, because it is a good one. Here is a picture of the file in action.
SCORE: Graphics: Sound:
8 10
TOTAL SCORE:
18/20
The next file is a music track called “Megalovania,” by Fragmare and Philsan. This is a very good tune and is pulse-pounding and fun to listen to. It has an animation of a guy with a skull for a head bobbing to the beat.
November 2021 DOM, Side A: The first file on the DOM is a 256-byte demo called “Route 66,” by the group Agenda. It shows a car on a road with grass, a sunset, and mountains in the background. The car looks like an outline and has no color but the purple outline.
Very good music. Interesting graphics. It even has trivia on the music from the movie. I will score this file now.
I will show you pictures of this file in action. By the way, “pterophyllum altum” is the scientific name for the altum angelfish, which are shown in the file. I will score this now. TOTAL SCORE:
7/10
The next file is a game called “River Raid on Mars,” a hack of Carol Shaw’s classic ActiVision game by Matias Dimitrov. It is amazing, just like the original game. You fly over the Martian valleys and the river, shooting at aliens and saucers. It looks really amazing and cool. I will show some pictures of the game for you to see.
As you can see, it looks really amazing for 256 bytes. The colors are good and the pic could pass for a night or early morning scene. I will score this file now. TOTAL SCORE:
With that, I will score the file now. SCORE:
8/10
The next file is called “Illusion,” by Sebastian Pawlak. This is another 256-byte file that shows a heart that has the illusion of being animated by a Venetian blind effect. It looks really cool. At first, it does nothing until the blind effect appears.
As you can see for yourself, it’s really well done. The graphics are interesting. If you like the original “River Raid,” you will like this game. I will score this game now.
Then, when the heart is covered by the blinds, it then looks like it’s beating as the blind moves down the screen. I like the effect and it looks really good. Here are photos of the file in action.
SCORE: Graphics: Gameplay: Animation: Sound:

TOTAL SCORE:
37/40
The next file is an intro by Jakub Husak, called “Axel-F.” It is the Axel Foley Theme from the movie, “Beverly Hills Cop.” It sounds pretty good. It changes color and plays the whole theme. Here is a pic of the file in action.
Graphics: Animation: Sound:
10 9 10
TOTAL SCORE:
29/30
The second file, by Przunk, is called “Atari Camp.” It’s another music tune. It’s cute and lively and fast. It really goes over the top with the higher notes. I like the lively music and it reminds me of computer camps from the 1980s. With that, I will score the file now. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
The next file is a picture called “Escape Tomb,” by Pawel Szewcyzk. It shows a character like Lara Croft from “Tomb Raider,” seen sideways in the picture of her being in a tomb. This picture is really well done. It is intricate and detailed. I like the illustration and it must have taken a lot of time to render. Here is a screenshot of the pic.
Optical illusions always look interesting, but to produce this effect on a computer is amazing. This is really good for 256 bytes, and I will score it now. SCORE: Graphics: Animation: Sound: SCORE:
8 8 8 24/30
The next file is called “Pterophyllum Altum,” by Marek Cora, and is another 256-byte file. It shows
Here is my score for the picture. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
The final file on Side A of this DOM is called “SillyVenture of a Dryad,” by Smolinski. It shows a girl wrapped up by plants. It has great detail. I do
Like the intricacy of the picture. It’s very well done. Here is a screenshot of the picture.
It looks and sounds great, and I like the fonts used in the game. It makes for a great game. I will score this game now. SCORE:
Truly outstanding. With that, I will score the file. SCORE: I will score this file now. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
Now, onto Side B of this disk, as there are more files on there to behold. Side B: The first file on Side B of this DOM is called “Seven,” by Sebastian Pawlak. It shows a myriad of nice-looking patterns on-screen, mostly geometric. For 256 bytes, it’s pretty good, and even has sound to boot. The sound didn’t excite me that much, but the graphics are great for such a small file. The checkerboard patterns look great and steal the show. Here are shots of the file in action for all of you to see and to enjoy.
Graphics: Animation:

TOTAL SCORE:
20/20 (perfect score)
The next file is again 256 bytes in size. It is called “Blasma,” by Marek Cora. It shows various patterns on screen with the logo “Xenium” on it. It makes noises when the patterns transition on the scree. It looks interesting and kind of cool. It reminds me of looking at a river with the currents flowing around in the water. It is mostly green and blue colors on the screen, but it makes good use of the patterns. Anyway, here’s a pic of the file in action.
Graphics: Gameplay: Animation: Sound:
9 10 9 10
TOTAL SCORE:
38/40
The next three files are music tracks. The first track is called “Altercation,” by XTD and Lamers. It sounds gritty and violent, like a street fight. It sounds pretty good with plenty of percussion in it. It has a bunch of sound put together, but it sounds nice and fast. I like the composition. It really isn’t too shabby. Here is my score: TOTAL SCORE:
8/10
The next track is called “Behold,” by Bartlomiej Wieczorkow. It sounds kind of foreboding. It quotes Genesis 11:6 from the Bible, and then quotes “Genesis 6502,” kind of a spin on that Bible verse. It’s fast and nice with great range. Lots of stuff going on here makes for a great track. I like the Biblical message, which God is saying something about everyone being one language. Then, it transitions to AI, saying that the Atari can keep them unrestrained. Genius. I will score the file now. TOTAL SCORE:
9/10
The last music track on Side B is a “noise” track, called “Psycho Bear,” by Michal Szpilowski. It sounds pretty good! The percussion is better than most other tracks, and the composition sounds great. I wonder if this is POKEY or GTIA. I can see it being POKEY, because it sounds so good. I will score this file now. TOTAL SCORE:
It’s truly amazing what a seasoned programmer can do with just 256 bytes. It comes out pretty good. Here’s my score: SCORE: As you can see, it truly looks amazing. The mild colors give it some panache and flair. I will score the file now. SCORE: Graphics: Animation: Sound:
10 9 7
TOTAL SCORE:
26/30
The next file is another 256-byte file called “Hypnotizing,” by Kamil Trzaska. It draws a circular pattern on-screen, like a kaleidoscope. It’s interesting to look at because it flashes colors on screen. It does seem to be hypnotizing.
Graphics: Animation: Sound:
9 10 7
TOTAL SCORE:
26/30
10/10 (perfect score)
The next files are by programmer Maciej Hauke, called “Ghost” and “Prince.” The picture known as “Ghost” is looking very nice. It shows a face moaning around colored stones or glass. The tonal gradations look spectacular. It looks foreboding and wicked cool. Here’s a screenshot of “Ghost.”
The next file is a game called “Space Assailants 2121,” by Anschuetz, Weisgerber, and Anschuetz. In the game, you play against aliens like in “Space Invaders.” Not only must you shoot aliens, you also need to avoid falling stars. The first level music is interesting, because it is from the game “Blaster Master,” a classic game for the NES. Plus, it’s challenging with all of the falling stars! It makes for a great game. Anyway, here’s a pic of the game in action.
Very nice rendition. I will score this file. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
I love the graphics. It is nicely executed. Plus the color gradations look great. It looks like pattern on-screen is staring at you. I wouldn’t recommend a person with light sensitivity to see this, though.
Mr. Hauke’s next file, “Prince,” is equally interesting. It reminds me of Jordan Mechner’s “Prince of Persia,” with the Middle Eastern architecture in the background. It shows the Prince with a dagger and a scimitar in each hand.
It also reminds me of the Virtual Light Machine lightsynth for the Jaguar CD unit. It’s really that good. The colors and flashing are reminiscent of the lightsynth in action when you play the music CDs on a Jag. Here’s a picture of the file in action.
This is not too bad. I like it, especially the architecture in the background being as well-rendered as it is. The atmospheric perspective in the background is nice, too. It’s looking very detailed and pleasing to the eye. Here’s a screenshot of it.
Animation: Sound:

As you can see, it looks better than before. Even the keys have a new look, and it look really nice. I like the new graphics and they stand out. Anyway, I will score this amazing game.

The next file is called “River Raid 2600,” remade by Matias Dimitrov Albarran. It’s basically the 8-bit version of “River Raid,” because the Atari 2600 version didn’t have tanks on bridges. So, it’s a rehash of the 8-bit version. Interesting graphics make for a pleasing picture. I will score this file now. TOTAL SCORE:
8/10
The final file on this DOM is called “SillyVenture of Android,” by Smolinski. It shows an android on a city street with cards in its left hand and its right hand has claws. There are armed troops in the background. It looks gritty, but that’s the point.
It’s smooth, graphically pleasing, and it has a title screen now. You know the drill. Shoot everything while flying over a river. Make sure you knock out the bridges before you crash into them. Anyway, here are some pics of the game in action.
Graphics: Gameplay: Animation: Sound:
10 10 10 10
TOTAL SCORE;
40/40 (perfect score)
The next file is a game called “Dizzy: The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure,” by the Oliver Twins. It’s a translation of a game about an egg called Dizzy. It’s also a VERY big game. The graphics are muted in color, but look good, and it is hard to play. I like the look of the game. The graphics are excellent, and the game is challenging. I could not make it very far into the game, and I need to practice. This is an excellent game. I like it, even though I am not very good at it.
If you notice on the facade of one of the buildings, you will see a Atari Fuji logo sign, an homage to Atari. It reminds me of “Blade Runner,” in a way. There are few colors, but it looks lit up. It’s really a great composition. Here’s a shot of it.
Here are pics of the game in action.
It was a hit in 1982, and it’s still great now. Here is my final score for the game. I will score the file now. TOTAL SCORE:
9/10
Now, since we are done with the November 2021 DOM, let’s look at the November 2020 DOM now, and I am sure it will be interesting. November 2020 DOM, Side A: The first file on this DOM is called “Urodziny,” by Kamil Trzaska. It is 256 bytes in size. It shows a message in Polish: “10 URODZINY AGENDY!” Translated that means “10 Birthday Agenda!” I assume it is the tenth birthday of Agenda. At least, that is what I got from the translation online. Anyway, it’s simple. It’s a birthday message, I get that. The animation is smooth, but it’s cool. I like the smooth motion of it. The music is cool, although repetitive. But, that’s OK. Pretty cool message for 256 bytes. I quite enjoyed it, and I hope Agenda endures for another 10 or more years. Here’s a picture of the file.
SCORE: Graphics: Gameplay: Animation: Sound:

The next file is another game called “Montezuma’s Redux,” a rehash of “Montezuma’s Revenge,” by Redux. Simply put again, guide Panama Joe to the treasure in Montezuma’s burial chamber. Avoid all obstacles, living or otherwise. The game has always been excruciatingly difficult to play in all its forms, but that’s the point. It’s a great game, and it is a certain appeal. I have been fascinated with it ever since I was sixteen years old. That was over three decades ago already. Anyway, it’s hard, the animation is fluid, and it has interesting rehashed and better graphics. Panama Joe looks better and is smaller in size. The game looks better in this hack. I like it. There have been so many different versions of this game, each one seemingly more difficult than the next. Personally, I like the original the best. But, this is good, too. Here is a picture of the game in action.
SCORE:
The next file, by Arson, UAB, and GGS, is called “La computadora encantadora.” It is a music track. It has a nice beat to it. I like the musical arrangement, and it’s really peppy and charged up. This was made for Lost Party 2020. Anyway, it sounds nice. I think the title means “The Enchanted Computer” in Spanish. It’s pretty decent especially the beginning beat. It sounds like it is well-arranged. I will score this track. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
The next two files are pics, the first being Krzysiek’s “Covid Attack Run Away.” It shows a snail that has a COVID virus for its shell. It is monochrome in looks. But, it actually looks pretty decent. I like the detailed graphics and the color. It is a drawing on-screen, possibly rendered with a KoalaPad or Touch Tablet. I like the gradation in the pic as well. It has a certain flair. Anyway, here’s a screenshot of the pic. It is on the next page.
It isn’t much with graphics, but it is to the point. Also, I like the animation being so fluid. I will score this file, as it is a nice message.
It looks pleasing and I like it, but it is a sign of the times anyway. I will score this file now. TOTAL SCORE:
9/10
The final file on this DOM is called “Electronic Skull,” by Strzelecki. It is an immediate masterpiece. It shows a shaded skull with detailed gradation and graphics. It looks almost 16-bit in its looks. I love it.
The next file on this DOM is called “Montezuma 2-Again!” It is another rehash of “Montezuma’s Revenge,” by Matias Dimitrov Albarran. I could not score this file, because it wouldn’t load on the screen. Bummer to that.
title means “Take something here write because I hurt.” I used a translator to decipher it, so it looks wrong. Sorry about that. I will score this file now.
Sorry for the inconvenience. It may have been a corrupted file or something. I will see what I can do in a later edition of the Newsletter. Thanks for understanding this situation.
The last three files are pics, with the first being called “Terry,” by an anonymous artist. It depicts a digitized picture (presumably Terry) with a device on the side of the screen. This is pretty good. It looks great on the A8 screen and it is detailed.
The next file is another Fandal game called “Diamondz 3.” It is a puzzle game where you must find the right path to get diamonds, but there are obstacles in the way. You can only move in four direction, north, south, east, and west.
TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
Here’s a screenshot of it.
It is VERY difficult, but the sound is amazing and so is the game play. It’s a great little puzzle game. Here are the screenshots of the game.
It really pushes what the A8 can do. It has a lot of detail and, although morbid, it looks spectacular in its execution. Here’s a screenshot of that pic. It looks fabulous! I will score the file now. TOTAL SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
The next pic is called “Sad,” by Maciej Hauke. It depicts a sad teddy bear dipping his foot in a lake with a volcano in the background spewing ash in the air. I like the rendering. It has great detail, and it’s really pleasing. It’s cute. Mr. Hauke does it again. It’s a cool picture. I enjoy it. Here’s a screenshot of it.
Nicely done, isn’t it? I think so. Here’s my score for that pic.
Here’s my score for this awesome game.
TOTAL SCORE:
SCORE:
10/10 (perfect score)
Now, onto Side B, with more files to behold! Side B: The first file on Side B is another 256-byte file called “Drawto 256b.” It is done by an anonymous programmer. It depicts lines drawing on the screen with a warping B&W graphic on the side of the screen. It has sound as well. The noise goes up in value when the A8 draws up, and it goes down when the computer draws down on-screen. It can get pretty intricate with the drawings. It looks nice, and the computer gets pretty detailed with the drawing parameters. Interesting program. The sound effects make for an interesting show. Here are pic of the file in action for everyone to see.

The next file is another game called ‘Fractari,” by R0ger (yes, his name is spelled correctly with the 0). It shows fractals on the screen, but I do not know really how to play it. Basically, it magnifies the fractals on-screen when I push the button. I looks cool, but I really do not understand how to play it. It different, that’s for sure. Here’s a pic of that game in action for you to see.
Adorable, isn’t it. Poor little bear. He looks lonely. I will score now. TOTAL SCORE:
9/10
The last file is called “The Lost Sorcerer,” by Solinski. It depicts the sorcerer running in a field with a detailed castle. There is a sword or dagger and a helmet in the foreground. Another excellent rendering. I like the solid colors and detail. The colors also give it meaning. It looks like a combination of fantasy and sci-fi. It’s really good and it looks like it took a lot of time to render. Here’s a screenshot of the pic and I will score it.
I will score this game now: SCORE: It gets repetitive with the sound, but it’s amazing. Time to score this amazing file. SCORE: Graphics: Animation: Sound:
