Atari on XBOX - ET Game Documentary

I'm an Atari guy, there I said it... This doesn't mean I've not been around the block, my first computer was a Commodore, but my first LOVE was an Atari.

An Atari 520 ST FM to be precise, and here I am 36 years old, married, with two houses, two cars and a busy life, but I still love that Atari.

So, seeing news of an Atari centric documentary I took a look:

Good stuff, except, its on XBOX?... I have no interest in XBOX, and I had read recently how Microsoft was winding down original programming on XBOX... GG Microsoft, GG...

Weekends Ending

I'm not sure whether my weekend actually deserved to contain the word "end", because I didn't stop once, between jet washing, and cooking, shopping and actually coming into the office on Saturday I don't feel rested at all...

I did get to play some Minecraft however - screen shots to follow - and I also began more looking into OpenGL, you can skip back through the blog and see I was working on texture mapping some area and viewing it a few years ago, I never really got to use that as work in the office took me in a different location.

But I'm looking at an OpenGL application to leverage Windows, Linux and MacOS... Possibly even OpenGLES, so the Pi & mobile platforms in the longer run.

I have prepared Wednesdays next post about the Virtual CPU code we're working on, so stay tunes for that...
