Atari Program Exchange (APX) was a division of Atari, Inc. that sold software via mail-order for the Atari 8-bit family of home computers. Quarterly APX catalogs were sent to all registered Atari 8-bit owners. APX encouraged any programmer, not just professionals, to submit software for commercial distribution. If selected, a program was added to the catalog, with credit given to the programmer. The top submissions in each category were awarded, and several popular APX titles, such as Caverns of Mars, were moved to Atari's official product line.

dbo:abstract
  • Atari Program Exchange (APX) was a division of Atari, Inc. that sold software via mail-order for the Atari 8-bit family of home computers. Quarterly APX catalogs were sent to all registered Atari 8-bit owners. APX encouraged any programmer, not just professionals, to submit software for commercial distribution. If selected, a program was added to the catalog, with credit given to the programmer. The top submissions in each category were awarded, and several popular APX titles, such as Caverns of Mars, were moved to Atari's official product line. The brainchild of Dale Yocum, the Atari Program Exchange started in February 1981. In 1982 its management was taken over by Fred Thorlin, who operated it until it closed. APX published quarterly catalogs until 1984, when new Atari CEO James J. Morgan closed down the mail-order division. (en)
  • Atari Program Exchange (APX) est une division de la société Atari, fondée en février 1981 et fermée en 1984, spécialisée dans la distribution de programmes pour les ordinateurs Atari 8-bit par l’intermédiaire d’un catalogue et de commandes par email. Pendant ses trois ans d’existence, elle permet à tous les développeurs (et pas seulement aux professionnels) de proposer des programmes à Atari qui en sélectionne certains afin de les commercialiser. L’idée de ce système est imaginée par Dale Yocum qui parvient à convaincre Atari de le mettre en place en 1981. En 1982, il est cependant remplacé à la tête d’APX par Fred Thorlin qui dirige la division jusqu’à sa fermeture en 1984. APX est à l’origine de plusieurs gros succès dont Eastern Front et Caverns of Mars qui se vendent à plusieurs milliers d’exemplaires. (fr)
