Description

A Podcast about growing with a twin brother up In the 70s and 80s, at the dawn of video games, navigating family strife, punk rock, Star Wars obsessions, and trying to understand the world while developing an inexplicable love for everything “Atari”. -- In this podcast we discuss Atari computers and systems, new and old, review new games we collect, talk about all the systems, and the significance they had in our lives and the lives of others, and even talk about them in an historical context with the backdrop the times they were released, and how they are being used now. We do all this in an effort to finally understand the answer to this existential question: what does it mean to have grown up in the generation of "the Vertical blank." Credits: Written, Engineered and Produced by Jeff Fulton @8bitrocket With help from Steve Fulton @fultonbot Branding by Daryl Litts @daryllitts

#157 : We Create Demakes / Remakes on the Atari 7800 and ST : Fill In The Blanks
2026/04/05
"Fill In The Blanks" and "Into The Vertical Blank" are not anal retentive. We are not perfect. We are messy, and that's the way we like it. We have opted to not strive for perfection, but instead, show the process, warts and all of "living" with a love for retro games and retro platforms. There are lots of other channels where you can consume content that aims for absolute perfection. We, instead, aim for passion.

#156: Challenge: Make a Chip Tune on an Atari Machine: AtariST vs Atari7800 : YM vs Pokey
2026/03/10
#atari #atari7800 #atarist #pokey #YM2149 #STOS #RMTTracker This season we are doing retro coding and retro creation challenges for every episode. We are calling this "Fill in the Blanks" as these are things we have always wanted to do, but have not accomplished yet. This time we were each tasked to creating a chip or tracker tune for an Atari machine. Jeff chose to target the Atari ST YM2149 using the STOS music creator and Steve chose the Atari Pokey using RMTtracker to target the advanced sound abilities of the Atari 7800. The RMT Tracker music should also be able to be played on an Atari 8bit computer, but we did not explore that in this episode.

#151: Atari ST SHOW #1: Did Atari Knowingly Give Away Pirate Software? + ST News
2025/12/17
In 1989 Atari Distributed a 4 disc game collection with new STs called “2- Great PD Games” that notoriously include some non-pd content. The Atari ST Show #1 we deep dive into the contents of these 4 disks and answer the question “Did Atari Knowingly do this?” We also look at the games and authors as a dive into the hobbyist history of the ST in the uSA. Plus, we take a brief look at a C library for developing STe games.  The Atari ST Show is brought to you by Into The Vertical Blank. Host Jeff Fulton (old man code). Notes: Download the Disk Collection: https://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-20-great-public-domain-games_31449.html This is my first full length video post on Windows 11. It uses a combination of Kdenlivve and Shotcut, neither of which can hold a candle to Power Director in windows.
