The History of ULM

U..L..M..!!

The other day, I saw a tweet about the Atari ST demoscene from an idiot who is clearly an Amoeba fanboy. Rather than getting drawn in, it inspired me to write this quick piece, as we know the ST has a belting scene that is alive & kicking! (see recent masterpieces like We Were @ + Strange roboTS). Powerful STuff!!

Additionally, there is a web page by Georges Kesseler of ULM. It details his ST history, which I thought was pure gold. I wonder if it was originally part of an older website? An intriguing read of great ST devs.

Page 6

My first PDL

Page 6 is a name filled with Atari history, and there’s even a website dedicated to their magazine. Not only that, but their PD Library software is available to download. I remember buying disks from Page 6 when I became an Atari ST addict, but their magazine had been going long before then, continuing until 1998.

True enthusiasts (that I miss).

"Page 6 is remembered fondly by many Atari owners as a unique and invaluable resource, supporting enthusiasts in the heyday of Atari home computing" - I'd say that sums up Page 6 rather nicely!
