Take a retro dive into the Atari Southern Amis #bbs Historical 3D Maze online game! Navigate twisting corridors, avoid dead ends, and race the clock — all running on #Atari 8-bit OS. This classic-style text maze blends nostalgia and challenge, showcasing the creativity of the Atari BBS scene. Best experienced only in ATASCII over telnet at southernamis.ddns.net #bbsing #southernamis #vintagecomputing #atascii #atari #retrocomputing #fujinet

Mistodon: flee for your lives! An enormous, enraged mollusk prepares to dismantle eight skyscrapers simultaneously in this screen, "Attacktopus", drawn by @Polyducks for last year's #ATASCII compo. This piece was included in the MIST-30 artpack celebration.

Finally, switching over to the 576 NUK+ to hit the Atari BBSs (the MiSTer FPGA Atari 8 bit core is unfortunately not useful for ATASCII BBSing).

Getting ready to do some ATASCII BBSing.

Having a complete hoot getting an old but surprisingly functional #OKI #MicroLine3320 #DotMatrix #Printer working with my #Atari800. It prints single lines beautifully, but it doesn't line feed on reaching the #ATASCII line ending 0x9B.

Looks like I need to configure the printer to understand the non-standard Atari linefeed. Let's see if that's possible!

Doing some ATASCII and PETSCII BBSing on some of the upstairs retro systems last night.

Mistigram: Illarterate documents a hitherto forgotten (or possibly, entirely confabulated) data storage device for 8-bit micros, the "biskette" -- where the cassette tape deliciously meets the 3.5 inch floppy diskette. It doesn't quite fit, so the user may need a little bit of assistance -- or a healthy dose of elbow grease (or maybe a pat of soft, room temperature butter) -- to fit it in the target machine. This screen was drawn for an #ATASCII art competition last year, and was included in the new MIST0223 artpack collection.

#MuffinTerm has been updated:

Added #ATASCII (#ANTIC/#CTIA/#GTIA) terminal support! Get online like it’s ’79!

Reduced the border sizes by default in NTSC and PAL terminal modes (maintaining the proper pixel aspect ratios). The full-sized borders can be toggled via the new Overscan option.

And more changes.

Mistigram: here, for the first time in #ATASCII (the #textmode character set of #Atari 8-bit computers) in one of our artpacks, Illarterate revisits the #MaxHeadroomIncident of pirate broadcasting that took place 35 years ago today, ironically playing on the #MaxHeadroom character's then-role as a Coca-Cola brand ambassador. This screen was included in last month's MIST1022 artpack collection.
