I had an Atari 800 in the early 1980s. The games were close to the arcade version and with the BASIC cartridge we could write programs and save them to a cassette tape drive or floppy.

Jay Miner was one of the main developers who later went on to be the "father of the Amiga"

Was so jealous of my friends that had an Atari 400 even, the 800 was legendary.
