Have you played Atari today? The early personal computers made by Atari in the ‘80s and ‘90s are harder to come by with each passing year, so those who missed out back then may have never had the chance to experience them firsthand.

It will, however, run GEM/TOS natively so you can scratch your retro itch.

The homemade machine is powered by a Motorola 68060 processor and was created primarily as a learning project and a playground for low-level experimentation. Granlund focused on recreating the spirit of classic Atari systems while adding enough flexibility to make the platform useful for developers, hardware hackers, and retro computing enthusiasts.
