www.atarimania.com Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Here are two prototypes on tape which belonged to Jerome Domurat. Both are very simple BASIC programs coded when Jerome was still employed by the American Museum of Science and Energy in 1980 (he was eventually hired by Atari at the end of 1981). The titles appear unfinished and it is likely more complete versions existed at one point. Scott Stilphen interviewed Jerome Domurat back in 2002 and this software is mentioned: http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_jerome_domurat.html Links to the two programs: _ http://www.atarimania.com/demo-atari-400-800-xl-xe-disco-energy_41845.html _ http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-technology-temple-quiz-1-deacon-level_41844.html Many thanks to @cx2k for supplying the titles and @Atarigrub for his invaluable help in archiving them! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbotkinneydude Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Thanks so much @cx2k for the amazing find and thank you @www.atarimania.com / @Atarigrub for the archival effort. Considering how HSW (Howard Scott Warshaw) was close to Jérôme Domurat, it would be great to let him know that these early efforts from Jérôme have been documented / preserved. HSW is on Linkedin and facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the pleasure of meeting him at Philly Classic 5 (2004). He spent decent amount of time listening to me prattle on about the Nuon coding I was doing at the time, and I had him sign a Yars' Revenge boxed cart as well as his Once Upon Atari DVD. Sucks I don't have any photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
