A close up of an MOS 6502 processor on the main board of an Atari 7800

Today I noticed that the mighty 6502, the processor that not only powered all Atari 8-bit computers and consoles but also those from Apple, Commodore, Acorn, Nintendo and many more, turns 50(!) this year 😰

Do you feel old yet? 🧓

Pictured is the interior of the Atari 7800 with its 6502. So this is my final and last minute #febratari post

A wall of Atari 2600 cartridges in a shelf. Two game controllers laying in front of it

An Atari CX-40 joystick in a shelf. Behind it some game boxes of Atari 2600 cartridges. On the right side the book "The Art of Atari" from Tim Lapetino is lurking into the scene.

An Atari Lynx and some games and game boxes are sitting in a shelf.

It's day *checks calendar* 4 of #febratari

Here are some Atari shelfies after the big shelf space upgrade last year.

I'm quite happy now to have more space for the cartridges and the boxes. There was even enough space to place the book prominent in the shelf.

Two pictures. Picture 1: A kid is playing ski jump from the Winter Games Cartridge on an Atari 2600 jr. In the corner of the picture is written 12:48, 28.1.1990".
Picture 2: Same scene, same person, 35 years later. In the corner is written "12:48, 28.1.2025"

An Evercade VS console, a Crt-Monitor, a PS1-controller and the Evercade Tomb Raider Collection. On screen is a scene from Tomb Raider 1.

Close up of the monitor. The level end screen of Tomb Raider level 3 "Lost Valley" is pictured. The PS1 controller lays in front of the screen.

Catching up on some classics.

An Amiga Workbench screen with a big VIM icon on it

An open VIM editor window with some program code in it, on a Commodore monitor.

Said monitor with vim in the background, an Amiga 1200 in the foreground.

I have to admit that I have a strong opinion on the question "What is your favourite text editor?" And it is VIM of course.

I have used vim for at least 15 years, both professionally and privately. I was thrilled when I heard that there is an Amiga version. And it's not just a port. The original 1.0 of vim was developed because someone wanted something like the Unix VI on Amiga. So this is the original version 😀

This is quite niche. The intersection between text-editor-nerds and retro-computing-nerds might be small 😅

An opened Amiga 1200, exposing the interior. A screwdriver and some bit laying beside

A C64 in a transparent case, a 1541 floppy drive and a monitor show the familiar C64 start screen

A C64 in a shelf with some bulky cartridge sticking out of the back

Two transparent storage boxes filled with a lot of cables, PSUs and retro controllers.
