The Atari ST is a line of personal computers that was introduced by Atari Corporation in the mid-1980s. It found moderate success, especially in Europe, where it developed a strong following, particularly in Germany and the UK.
Released around the same time as the Amiga, it lead to a heated rivalry between the two platforms known as the "Atari ST vs. Amiga Wars." Both systems targeted the home and small-business markets, and enthusiasts often debated which was superior.
Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Atari ST left a lasting legacy in music production, desktop publishing, and early computer graphics. It is remembered fondly by enthusiasts and continues to have a dedicated community of users and developers.
