One shot: Karsten Schmidt's Atari 800XL/XE scrapbook

Archiving my very 1st teenage steps with the Atari 800XL in the form of a folder full of code, sketches & references (all created between 1988-1991)...

At 13 I started with writing pure hex code, then taught myself the 6502 flavour of Assembler (only learned Z80 before) but then got more & more into game design, icons & demo scene activities (as coder, gfx and chiptunes & co-organizer) and started building several tools & games (incl. The Brundles, a commercial Lemmings clone for the 8-bit Atari in '93)
