The Atari ST is a line of home computers from Atari Corporation. The first models were released in June 1985 in North America at a retail price around $799.99 or $999.99, depending on the model. The computers were also released in limited availability in Europe (1985). The ST is the first personal computer to come with a bitmapped color GUI. The computers were manufactured until an unspecified time in 1993.

“Ex-Commodore boss, Jack Tramiel, formed Tramel Technology in 1984 and started development on a new 68000-based home computer. Tramiel went on to buy Atari’s Consumer Division, and the computer became the Atari ST.

The original Atari 520ST was superseded by the STe which had a greater colour palette, though game developers tended to only develop for the base machine.
