Anthony Ramos: Parrot, Creepy Caverns  Anthony Dandrea is better known to Atari computer enthusiasts as Anthony Ramos.  Anthony programmed Creepy Caverns, a type-in BASIC game that was published in Antic magazine's August 1984 issue. Anthony also created the software for Parrot, a $40 4-bit sound sampler and playback package that was marketed by Alpha Systems.  In this interview, we discuss George Morrison of Alpha Systems, and Peter Langston of LucasArts, both of whom I have previously interviewed.  This interview took place on April 8, 2022.

ANTIC Episode 104 - You’re Gonna Label Me a Failure

Rodrigo Castro, Atari in Chile   Rodrigo Castro was one of the organizers of an Atari Expo that took place July 22, 2023 in Santiago, Chile. He told me it was probably the largest Atari show in that country to date, with an estimated 300 attendees. Panelists included Robert Jaeger, creator of Montezuma's Revenge, who attended via videoconference.   Rod and I talked about that event, as well as Atari's popularity in Chile, in this interview that took place on December 15, 2023.   Video from Expo Atari Chile 2023    Chilean Atari magazine and newsletter scans   ANTIC Interview 320 - Robert Jaeger, Montezuma's Revenge    Kay's XC-11 Program Recorder
