I wrote video games for Big Five Software (Miner 2049er was our big hit), and we actually used Model 16s with a compiler we wrote to compile to cartridges for the Atari 400/800. At the time, it was an awesome computer. We even had a 5MB hard drive. A drive so massive at the time, that it actually had a KEY on the front to lock it.

Thanks for that! I spent untold hours playing Miner 2049er on my Apple ][.
spent quite a lot of time on Miner 2049er here ! other big atari titles at that time were Jumpman and Pogo Joe.
