How about some #RetroComputing #LongReads to relax with this weekend?
https://breakintochat.com/blog/category/instant-graphics-and-sound/
Discover the artist, the programmers, and the community who made cool — but forgotten — art, animation, and games for Atari ST bulletin boards using a protocol called "Instant Graphics and Sound."
(Boosts greatly appreciated!)
I hope you’ll enjoy reading about this little known protocol and the people who made it and used it.
I’ve spent years researching it, fascinated by the idea that my beloved Atari ST had something like RIPscrip, but better in many ways, years earlier … but I didn’t know it back in the day.
Four parts of the series have been posted so far.
