ianoid Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Has anyone confirmed that they exist in cartridge (or any) form for the Atari computers? I definitely have found several copies of each game complete for Commodore-64, but never heard of or seen confirmation of the titles for Atari 8-bit. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 The following Chalkboard carts have been confirmed to exist for the A8: "Bearjam" "'Leo's Lectric Paintbrush" "MicroMaestro" "Micro Illustrator" "Logic Games" The Chalkboard "Programming Kit" was theoretically released in cart format, but most users have this one on disk. I do not know what the status of "'Leos Links" is. All of the powerpad carts are very rare, as they definitely had limited releases. I would doubt that Chalkboard released any other programs for the A8 platform, as the company went bankrupt in 1985. I understand that there are a small number of PD games that can use graphic tablets as interface devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah, I just seen one of them without games on ebay, but it got ended before I could bid on it. I emailed the seller and they said they got offered 75 for it. And I do remember seeing one a while back with three games and I think that went for over 120. I was pissed that that other one got stolen out from under me though. It was on my watchlist and my sniper was all set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The Chalkboard "Programming Kit" was theoretically released in cart format, but most users have this one on disk. To elaborate, the box says cartridge on a little yellow sticker. This appears to be a mistake. They just put a sticker on all boxes. In fact, it is the only thing that identifies the product as for the Atari. A cartridge makes no sense because the routines on disk are assembler and BASIC. You would need a programming cart plugged in to use them. In short, there is no reason for a cartridge unless they had their own programming language. I do not know what the status of "'Leos Links" is. Deleted it from my list. Since no one had one, I examined the product announcements in Analog (or maybe it was Antic). All other titles were announced, but "Leos Links" was never mentioned! It probably got on the Atari list because there is a C64 version.

I definitely have found several copies of each game complete for Commodore-64, but never heard of or seen confirmation of the titles for Atari 8-bit. ian Chalkboard -- oh goodness. I have given up on getting one of those things to work. I have had two boxed, and neither worked well at all. I do have the box and overlay for LOGIC MASTER (Not "Logic Games"), and I have a boxed, complete MicroMaestro. I had a boxed Leo's Lectric Paintbrush, but traded to Arnaud (Ecunet_Fr) for a Carnival Massacre and Supercharger cart. If anyone is interested in the MicroMaestro boxed, just let me know -- I am giving up on ever getting a chalkboard to work. Also, if anyone thinks they could fix the chalkboards, let me know -- like I said, I have two boxed The things are just so HUGE -- the cart boxes are just as huge as the actual chalkboard!

Callipygous Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I am sure that Rob knows this, but to others who may try a Chalkboard cart, they are 400/800 only titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I have Chalkboards boxed versions 400/800: -BearJam -MicroMaestro (thanx Rob ) -Leo's 'lectric Paintbrush -LogicMaster -Programming Kit But what is the deal with Micro Illustrator? Atarimania discusses in a compatibility page but under Chaulkboard it doesn't list this one? Edited August 22, 2012 by chrislynn5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Because it should be in the utilities section and that part of the site is piss poor.

I'm still looking for BearJam. And here are the ROM's for the Carts. ChalkBoard Carts.zip Also would someone post the "Programming Kit" Image.

ianoid Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've since picked up a few of these. I only need Bear Jam, Leo's Lectric Paintbrush and the packaging for Micro-Illustrator. Anyone with spares, I'll pay market rates. Thanks for the reply/quote. Cool stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with spares, I'll pay market rates. Thanks for the reply/quote. Cool stuff! You still looking for Chalkboard items? I have run across another bearJam (the hardest to find, by far).

+Guitarman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I may be interested if it isn't claimed. I have to look at which ones I need but I think I do need BearJam.

Atari8bitCarts Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I may be interested if it isn't claimed. I have to look at which ones I need but I think I do need BearJam. BearJam until recently was believed to be non-existent for the most part, outside of an ATR. I've seen 4 in ten years, 2 of which I own (one boxed). I'd like to use it for a trade.

Contact info: Karenlm26@yahoo.com if you are interested in purchasing any of these items before I post them across all platforms. Pictures can be provided upon request!
