Atari 7800 20th Anniversary Reunion

Posted on August 19th, 2004 by Frank Cifaldi

Atari Historian and hero of the people Curt Vendel, curator of The Atari History Museum, arranged and presented the Atari 7800 20th Anniversary Reunion at Vintage Computer Festival 2.0 on July 16, 2004. Vendel, along with eleven or so original Atari 7800 developers, presented all sorts of crazy crap at the featured Atari Museum display. Among these items were original schematics, prototype hardware, and, yes, unreleased prototype software for the Atari 7800.

Knowing Vendel, ROM dumps are forthecoming. For now check out a mirrored screenshot of the Atari 7800 version of Lucasarts’ Rescue on Fractalus, along with the opening screens of both the Temperature and Light Modules from AtariLab (whatever those are) here. As always, we’ll keep you posted when news hits.
