Note that the Atari Touch Tablet, the KoalaPad Touch Tablet, and the Suncom Animation Station are read by the computer in the same way that the computer receives data from paddle controllers, making software designed for paddles at least somewhat usable with these graphics tablets as well.

Subject: 8.12) What programs support Atari computer networking?
This section started by Andreas Koch.
There are two different hardware add-ons which provide a "computer-
network" (two or more Ataris linked together). Thus, there is software
that supports either one or the other hardware (namely GameLink or GameLink-II). The following software supports the networking hardware:
- GameLink (by DataQue, 1990):
- Computer Battleship, by John Babson and Bill Cleis,
as patched by Rick Detlefsen for GameLink
- Tic-Tac-Two (a tic-tac-toe clone) by DataQue, 1990
- GameLink-II (by DataQue, 1993) / Multilink (by Bewesoft):
- Maze of Agdagon (full version, 2-8 players) by The AGDA Group, 1993
- Multi-Dash (2-8 players, XL/XE only) by Bewesoft;
- Multi-Race (2-16 players, XL/XE only) by Bewesoft;
- Multi-Worms (2-8 or 2-16? players, XL/XE only) by Bewesoft;
- "Starter-kit" module to use in your own networking-games by Bewesoft
(free use of this module is granted by Bewesoft/Jiri Bernasek);
- Speed-Up by Radek Sterba
- Speed-Up Gold by Radek Sterba

Subject: 8.15) What noncommercial telecommunications programs are there?
This section lists widely-used or notable noncommercial telecommunications programs for the Atari. These programs could be used for accessing dial-up online service providers, or for connecting to a dial-up bulletin board
system (BBS) hosted by another home computer. Such activities were very popular on the Atari computer, especially from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s.
