Material List:

Course:

100 - Atari Basics - How to assemble
working ATARI carts using supplied ROM images.
200 - Assembly I - Modifying graphics and colours on
ATARI ROM images
300 - Assembly II - Understanding and modifying logic
routines on ATARI ROM images
400 - ATARI Fundamentals I - Understanding ATARI
assembly language
420 - ATARI Elements - Two players, two targets and a

games from scratch


Notice that I have now included the 5200 and the 7800
into the mix. I would imagine that there would be
courses dedicated to any of the three (the 2600, 5200
or the 7800). Can anyone suggest any? Any suggested
changes and total massacre to the above course are
welcome!

John
