We know it for ATARI ST, that means for Motorola 68k processors family. But it also exists for PC, that means for x86 processors. GEM is already portable for different computers, so it should be available on actual ATARI computers like the ATARI VCS, so that developers have the opportunity to port their software. And ATARI VCS should be available outside the USA, indeed. A large part of ATARI authentic software is portable, and it should be proposed a way to implement it on today's ATARI computers. I'm thinking of mine Eureka 2.12, but I'm not the only one, of course! ATARIans shouldn't give up their past, and original GEM software...
