SAM speaks again! Atari 800.

Many years have passed since SAM last spoke. The original 5.25" floppy which contains the software was in a poor state but it's somehow now come back to life, and is safely backed up. This is such a complex program to load and operate that I nearly gave up. But here he is - alive and well. Today is Thursday 24th of March 2016. Peace.

    June 22, 2018 here. Just found this by accident. So many memories you just brought back. I fought so hard with assembly language patches to override the "mandatory" black screen while SAM was talking, but the 6502 just could not handle it no matter what I did.

    There *IS* an inbuilt software switch to disable screen blanking.

    Hi there, watching this on 13th Feb 2022........I have an AVG cart and have been trying to load S.A.M, no luck as yet, well, not 100% anyway. I can load the demo and play the guess the number game, but cannot get Reciter to work, I can get the screen shown in your video, it then tells me Reciter must be loaded in , and pressing return just freezes my Atari - Any help would be great! its such a complex game to get loaded up! I do have a 1050 disk drive also if that helps. Thanks in advance for any reply.

    So do you have the disk or are you loading it from AVG? I have the disk, a drive and a FujiNet. I've always found it a bugger to load but I'll see what I can do to help.

    @@mattski73 Hi matt, I'm loading up from AVG, then using DOS to load binary file. But as I say, it only half works. The Demo, speeches and guessnum files all work, but say it and reciter are not working at the moment. Any help gratefully received
