It was 40 years ago this week that the Atari ST was announced at the January 1985 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Not long after, in the fall of 1986, I got my own Atari 520ST system and count it as one my favorites among the many systems I haveowned over the years. Here, at the ST's 40th Anniversary, I share one of my earliest and most memorable experiences with my beloved 520ST, which took place on a Halloween night long, long ago.

Today, I have a nearly identical 520ST setup here in the Byte Cellar and I still count it among the most beloved of my vintage systems. I hope you enjoy the memory.

Specialised Arcade hardware has commonly been ahead of what people could have at home. Then, at some point, a new generation of off-the-shelf machines would make possible what previously had been reserved to being experienced one quarter at a time. #Starglider showed off the power of the new #AtariST. Celebrated at its time, how did it hold up?

The first two games I think of when someone mentions Argonaut Games 🤩

I still remember the first time I heard a computer sing!

It was Starglider on Atari ST 🎶

For the kid I was, it was amazing! 🤩

And you, do you remember the first time you heard a song in a video game?
