"Simtari" 400 MINI is up for Early Acess!

Releasing today for the release of the real thing, it will be public on the 18th!

I made a retro style catalog page for it, too. I really like making these - it makes me strangely happy.

The console is fully functional, can be upgraded and is small and adorably-sized to the real mini! The joystick is clutter, as the console will use whatever controller you have installed.

Here is the link to the public preview with information and more pictures!

🇺🇲 Dive into the realm of computing nostalgia with a look back at the Atari Corporation's iconic personal computers—the Atari 400/800, Atari 520ST, and Atari Falcon! Introduced by Atari Corporation, a pioneer in the world of gaming and computing, these machines left an indelible mark on the landscape of home computing during their respective eras.

⌨️ The Atari 400 and Atari 800 made their debut in 1979, offering users a glimpse into the future of personal computing. With their sleek design and innovative features, including custom graphics and sound capabilities, these machines quickly gained a dedicated following among early computer enthusiasts.

🚀 Fast forward to 1985, and Atari unleashed the Atari 520ST—a groundbreaking computer that revolutionized the industry with its impressive performance and affordability.

💻 In 1992, Atari continued its legacy of innovation with the introduction of the Atari Falcon—a high-performance computer designed for the next generation of computing enthusiasts. Featuring a Motorola 68030 processor, enhanced graphics and multimedia capabilities, and built-in MIDI support, the Falcon pushed the boundaries of what was possible in home computing at the time.

💾 The Atari 400/800 series was known for its distinctive membrane keyboard and cartridge-based software, while the Atari 520ST gained popularity for its compatibility with industry-standard software and peripherals, earning it a place in the hearts of musicians and creative professionals.
