Zamboozal Poker Dice from Wheat Media (which by the way, was our joke-name for a fake company in high school, then the name of our two-song rock band, the name of this one-game company, and one day became the name of our first short-lived web design firm) is an exciting new take on the classic game of poker dice. We have also updated some of the music and sounds. The 1.2 2020 version has been updated to work with all TOS versions. ![]() However, tools and desire are not the only ingredients needed for success, and as you will see with the final 1.0 version of Zamboozal Poker Dice you are holding in your hands, sometimes the final product, no matter how hard someone works, maybe, should never see the light of day. The whole system allowed neophyte coders to finally turn our/their ideas and creations into honest-to God compiled Atari ST games! STOS combined a simple-to-learn BASIC programming language, sprite editor, sound designer, and a compiler. Wacko’s Miracle Guide” for the Atari 8-bit helped us learn the basics of programming when we were tweenagers, but it wasn’t until we were fumbling around in college in 1989 and STOS arrived for the Atari ST that we really got moving on the dream to make video games. We, the programmers, were compelled to program games ever since playing Atari Asteroids in 1979. This game was made using the STOS The Game Creator released in 1989 by Mandarin Software, developed by JAWX. You can find their names on the credits page in the back.
