ORIC ATMOS COMPUTER 11 X GAMES and 2 X BOOKS., 1984

The ORIC ATMOS was introduced in 1984 and replaced the ORIC 1 Computer; it had an improved keyboard and an updated ROM (Read Only Memory). Soon after ATMOS was released the Modem Printer and 3 inch floppy drive was introduced and released at the end of 1984. Not all games released were compatible with ORIC and ATMOS versions, a modification was released to enable switching between old ORIC 1 tapes and new ATMOS versions. Tape based software could be obtained with ORIC 1 software one side and ATMOS on the other. Earlier titles produced by publishers who had ceased trading were unlikely to be supported. Oric International finally produced the STRATOS version before going into receivership. A French company (Eureka) released the ORIC TELESTRAT after continuing production of the STRATOS. Apart from being gaming machines, users could learn an early computer programming language called 'BASIC' on these machines. The system requires a Television and a Tape player.
