The Introduction to Atari Graphics was a pretty damn nice article. I loved programming the Antic and Pokey (sound) chips in the Atari 8-bit computers. You could really do things the Apple folks couldn't. Plus, four joystick / paddle ports were fun to hook up electronics to.

Does anyone remember the Action language?

The entirety of De Re Atari (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Re_Atari>), the first substantial technical information for Atari 8-bit, was excerpted in BYTE. This article is part of the series.

Yes! I did a ton of projects in Action! for a number of years. Lots of fun and learned a lot.
