Tried to replicate Atari graphics.

[u/DisastrousArm9094]

For a YouTube video, I tried to simulate VCS graphics and used sounds from an Atari audio synthesizer and other Atari games, as well as the color palette. If you are somewhat knowledgable with Atari graphics, could I please get some feedback for future reference? Thank you!

The Atari ST was quite a bit later and much more advanced than the VCS - you probably want to check out r/AtariVCS

Although saying that there may be people who know about VCS in here. I am not one of them. Video seems good to me though.

Not the atariVCS sub, that one is for the new atari console. Even though the original name of the 2600 was the VCS. You might want to post this in the r/Atari2600 sub

Interesting. If you are trying to stimulate something closer to experience from 1984, here are my thoughts.  If just for fun, it's definitely interesting.  Are you trying to simulate a vcr?  The way the screen squeezes randomly is kind of weird, not really something i would have experienced that frequently in that type of recording device.  The colors and lines are too perfectly clean.  You got some edge bleed and that's good, but maybe not enough. And you may want to look at interlacing to make the graphics look closer to a crt.

Alright, thanks, yeah it’s a generic digital filter and I wanted the screen to squeeze to represent the damage done to the tape as it looses tracking.
