Atari Touch Tablet (1984)

  • by

Atari Touch Tablet was a device compatible with 8-bit Atari computers and was intended for users who didn’t want to draw pictures with just joysticks or keyboards. We had not much time to test the device and an available heavily upgraded Atari computer didn’t work with the Atariartist cartridge. Therefore we tested it just using a simple BASIC program. It looked like the surface sensitivity degraded little bit over time but it was still usable.

I will post more once I have enough time to properly play with the device and supported software.
