Retro Gaz Plays - Atari 800XL Games (Part 1 - Classics)

A collection of my favourite classic Atari 8-bit games that I played on my Atari 800XL. The gameplay is from an actual 800XL captured at 720x576 (output fed through a RetroTink 2X). I will be doing a 2nd video, which covers newer homebrew titles.

Absolutely love my Atari 800xl it's such a good computer, the games are awesome.

Although it was my first 'real' home computer I owned, it's still the one I always go back to. Playing these games for the videos was great fun and brought back some nice memories. I have two more Atari videos waiting to be released.

I had a pretty good Atari 800XL setup back in the mid 80s. I had the 800XL, the 1050 and a 1010, I also had the Atari Trackball and a few joysticks. I had a large disk, tape and cartridge collection and I sold them to fund the purchase of a Commodore 128......It was probably the biggest mistake I ever made with regards to a computer purchase as I never had anywhere near asmuch fun with the Commodore as I had with the Atari.

I know what you mean. Many computers and consoles came and went but the 800XL was the only one I held onto. Even after all these years, I still enjoy the classic titles and with homebrew games being released each year, there is always something new to be try.
