Programming the Atari XY Vector Generator
The information in this document is not guaranteed to be accurate, use at your own risk. The Atari Analogue Vector Generator (or AVG) is the circuitry used to draw lines on the special XY monitors of some games from the late seventies and early eighties. These include Asteroids, Battlezone, Tempest, Gravitar and Star Wars, all of which used a slightly different AVG as the games evolved. The AVG is a small computer in its own right, it has its own ROM, RAM, instruction set and stack for subro

HEAVY BARREL complete strategy guide
Submitted by Julius Yang
A somewhat obscure game, Heavy Barrel uses the same controls as Ikari Warriors, but is a better game IMHO due to the availability of different weapons, not just augmented versions of weapons.
The objective is to wipe out a military complex filled with soldiers and lethal military equipment. The available weapons are the standard machine gun, the heavy machine gun, the fan gun, the flamethrower, and the Heavy Barrel. Grenade weapons include standard grenades, red grenades,

Timing information for ICs is not yet available, and only TTL, 4000-series CMOS and some microprocessor (support) chips are included. For now, it is not clear how the format used can be extended to include linear ICs, as these usually require much more additional information such as a block diagram. The current file uses the PC8 character set (a.k.a. codepage 437), but can be converted to 7-bit ASCII without too much trouble (losing some niceties). As it is, it is small and simple enough to keep it in you
