Here is a quick little documentary on the Atari ST line of personal computers. They were a great line of computers during the "16-bit wars" with Amiga, Mac, and PC. But as fast as they became popular is how fast they disappeared into history. Check out the story of the Atari ST

C64 vs. VIC-20: The ULTIMATE Commodore Sibling Rivalry!!!

Retrogamer GenX @retrogamergenx.bsky.social · Jul 9

We all know which computer will win this face off. However, I created this video for some of my viewers that don't know what the difference is between the VIC-20 and the C64. They might look the same, but under the hood, the C64 is a way more powerful machine. youtu.be/bKhYJyHTVTE #c64 #vic20 #retro

A Look At GEOS - An 8-Bit GUI OS that will BLOW Your MIND!

Retrogamer GenX @retrogamergenx.bsky.social · Jul 3

I've seen the PC version. It looks a lot like windows 95. At least the version I've seen. Too bad GEOS went the way of the dodo bird. It would have been cool to see what it would have become today.

Retrogamer GenX @retrogamergenx.bsky.social · Jul 2

GEOS , the first GUI OS I used on a C64 back in the 80's. Amazing what this lil' operating system could do on an 8 bit computer with only 64k. youtu.be/M0BhV-C03-A
