My BBS software worked with my term program for music/joystick/sprites and so on. One of my buddies had an Atari BBS so i added ATASCII support. When I lived in Corpus Christi there were only a few BBSes online(mine was the 4th to go up) so everybody called them all. When I moved to Houston in the late 80s there were so many that they segretated. I called a few Atari BBSes in Houston but they were not pleased when they found out I was calling on a Commodore.

Yes usually the Atari and Commodore users didn't get along very well. Competing platforms. The Atari had more colors and a more advanced BASIC, but the Commodore had more tricks to it and an add-on Simon's BASIC. I remember a local group, The Wacko Cracko Brothers, modified C64s, they added more RAM, and updated the ROM to use a more advanced BASIC and RAM switching abilities to use 64K banks of RAM.

I also remember modifying a few "Compute!" games for the C64, so that Balloon Blitz became Klingon Blitz and I turned the Balloon into a Klingon Bird of Prey.
