@ipaschke There are plenty of “non-wild” memory expansions for the Atari ST to get beyond the 4 MB barrier: Storm ST, MonSTer, Magnum ST, PAK+FRAK, TwiSTEr.
You can still buy Storm ST, MonSTer and TwiSTEr.

Each of them offer at least 8 MB of contiguous memory, on top of the ST’s original amount. Some also include an accelerator.

Been toying with the idea of writing a blog dedicated to the Atari ST for some time... gonna give it a go, first post up (done very little with layout etc so far):

Here's what is undoubtedly Jean Baudlot’s best-known track: Time Travellers, which opens the game Future Wars 🛸

The game’s soundtrack is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ1BlAxvI_M&list=PLItzNsWwxWKc9rr1yYZbTDRbbvmSD2fK0&index=2

I post so infrequently these days. Back in my Twitter days (15+ years ago), I'd tweet four or five times a day. Now weeks pass.

Just me? Or are we all just starting to disengage from social media?

Anyway, I'm still coding away. I have an #atarist production in the works, which will be presented in a similar way to #FrankenSTOS, but around a very personal subject. As before I'll be using my #STOS extension, which I keep adding to (and seemingly, never releasing).

I'd like it finished for #BuxtonBytes, but I suspect it won't be. I seem to go through creative peaks and troughs.

It's very much a proof of concept production at present and I hope to get another awesome artist involved as I near completion.

Anyway, I'll go back to lurking now.
