I was reminded today of the ATARI 1200XL I had back in the day. It was my first computer, and I spent many hours programming graphics and games in BASIC, and eventually in Assembly with the ATARI Macro Assembler, and playing Alternate Reality: The City...

In 7th grade, I also built a voice synthesizer for it using a SP0256-AL2 sound chip, and then interfaced the ATARI with a Big Trak, allowing the computer to drive the programmable tank and have it follow people around. Good times!
