The XE had two joysticks rather than the four of its sibling models, however it did come with a full 128kb of bank-switched RAM.Although it was not as successful in America as the Commodore 64 - or the ZX Spectrum in Europe - the machine retains a large fanbase to this day.As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote:* * * *Turn your Atari into an exciting arcade of electronic fun and thrills with the easy-to-enter ready-made programs in this book. Containing 30 different games designed to demonstrate the complete capabilities of the Atari 130XE - arcade games, strategy games and adventures are all here for you to enjoy - without the need for any complex programming skills!Each game includes a screen photo, to illustrate exactly what the program will look like, and the unique CHEXSUM facility, to avoid those costly.Retro Reproductions Educational gamesGamesEducational games.Games.790.196Woolcock Richard1704183MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910815758803321Atari 130XE games book4089971UNINA
