One of the most impressive things I saw for the 8-bit Atari is Chris Hutt's 2011 conversion of Space Harrier. It's probably the best home conversion of the game this side of the Sharp X68000.

Also, the graphics chips in the Atari 2600 and 800 were designed by Jay Miner, famous as the "father of the Amiga". I'm no Atari expert, but I wonder if there is an evolutionary link between the display list techniques of the Atari 800 and the Amiga's Copper Lists? Long ago I read an interview with Archer Maclean, where he described the '800 as a "little Amiga". I wonder if anyone could expand on that?
