The Atari ST is a line of home computers from Atari Corporation and the successor to the Atari 8-bit initial ST model, the ST, saw limited release in April–June and was widely available in July. The Atari ST is the first personal computer to come with a bitmapped color GUI, using a version of Digital Research's GEM released in February CPU: Motorola x0 @ 8 MHz & higher. Template:Infobox computer. The Atari ST is a home computer released by Atari Corporation in June Development machines were distributed around May and it was available commercially from that summer into the early s. The "ST" officially stands for "Sixteen/Thirty-two", which referred to the Motorola 's bit external bus and bit internals.

The Atari ST shipped with Atari TOS (The Operating System) It could be run in 3 different resolutions: × in black and white, × in 4 colors, × in 16 colors You had access to 2^9 different colors but a max of 16 are used at once [thanks for the correction Chris].

Contributors Curtis Beeson moved from SGI to NVIDIA's Demo Team more than five years ago; he focuses on the art path, the object model, and the DirectX renderer of the NVIDIA demo engine. He began working in 3D while attending Carnegie Mellon University, where he generated environments for playback on head-mounted displays at resolutions that left users legally blind.

  It featured sophisticated 3D texture-mapped graphics, sound, and music for the time, all of which take full advantage of what the Atari 8-bit platform has to offer.   What’s the next big leap for 3D graphics? By Tyler Wilde 29 July We talk to Epic Games and Nvidia about the future of photorealistic real-time graphics and simulated : Tyler Wilde. That means low polygon-count 3D objects with very minimal use of texture maps on them, which is something the Atari Jaguar can possibly pull off. "Checkered Flag" for example used the same 3D model vehicle with different color variation, but what help to slow the game down was the high polygon background environment as well as the AI.
