Atari on a Mac

Imagesource: http://atarimac.com/

And since Nolan Bushnell's company unfortunately always gets a bit short shrift with us, we'll stick to Atari and the release of a software, that at least we didn't know about either until this week.

AtariMac is an absolutely complete and very capable emulator for Atari 8-bit machines. From the 800'er with 16kB RAM over the 130 up to the 1200 a whole lot of machines is emulated. The unfortunately unknown creator atarimac has provided 8 virtual drives, one can boot directly into a BASIC variant, and in the multitude of settings allows controllers and gamepads to be configured properly.

No brand new software, but just because of this absolutely mature. And one of the best emulators for Atari 8-bit machines, which we have come across so far.
