Hello,
Just a little background, I bought an atari 7800 on eBay. Also got some games and a couple of joysticks.
I am interested in programming for my 7800. I have fooled around with programming on and off for several years. I even took a class on assembly language in college. I am not the best programmer, but I love it.
A lot of times I will get a programming book and follow along as best as I can.
A couple of noob questions, I see post of people talking about games. I wondered are these games, original? Or are they games ported to work on the atari? Is it possible to write a new game from scratch. Are these games available to buy? Like could I buy a game cartridge that I could plug into my 7800?
Anyway, I'm trying not to be to ambitious. But I would love to learn.
