Tweeking the wonder shrine space, I've got an adjustable height desk at the back left, so going to fit a 40" Toshiba TV in the back, run some GEM desktop, should give things a nice green ambience . .

The 1987 Atari MEGA series was aimed at the professional user, the machine could be connected to a laser printer, giving the Apple Mac some serious competition, together with its 71hz high res crisp display, the machine could certainly offer "power without the price" . .

If ever there was a product, so iconic, that it epitomised both video gaming culture as well as a brand, then look no further than the Atari CX40, first released in 1978, also the very first cross platform controller . .

It came with its own challenges, getting the shot setup as close to the water as possible and carrying it through the sand dunes, did attract some attention from people also

You too, in my unorthodox style, it should be interesting, but we're still in 2025 now, so let's all have a party and celebrate how we embraced this year
