***** by PMKN_PI. Comment: "I just bought one of these machines. serial# 00001. I love it, it was a favorite from childhood. Its in beautiful condition too!" (2009-04-12 22:38:14Z)

***** by tx1fan. Comment: "This game really impressed me. The 3 screens gives this game a impressive 270d of freedom. Was very advance for its time (according to mentions in science-history web sites). It's official release was in the beginning of 1984. But in reality 1983. Driving this car game had a great feeling mixed with some cool FM sounds. A complete TX-1 history page on www.desgraff.com in the product/games section." (2003-07-28 14:41:32Z)

VIDEO INVERSION AND YOU!

By combining these three primary colors in different combinations, we can make any color we want. For example, combining any two of the primary colors will create one of the three "secondary colors." Red and blue combine to make magenta. Red and green mix to for

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca) Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w
