The ATARI has

- only 3 colors in most resolutions, the games look crappy
- a ridiculous amount of sprites
- a crappy soundchip
- only 48K of RAM, additional 16K are nearly impossible to use

So better throw away your ATARI and buy a C64!!!

Not only that, but the Atari company went bust due to incompetent
management ... oh, wait, so did Commodore.   ;-)

Yes, brings back memories. I doubt if the OP really wanted to dust 
off an old passion and go back to a religious war on USENET.

Back to lurking.
