We are just six weeks away from Atari Party 2025! If you find yourself in the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic USA on November 22nd and love Atari or vintage gaming/computing be sure to check in and let us know if you'd like to attend.

I write video game books! I know they're here somewhere...*ruffles through stuff under desk*

I would rather play E.T.

Even the Translator disk can’t help this one

Is Xetto the Temu version

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

Cosmos title card

Cosmos premiered 45 years ago. Its groundbreaking mix of science and storytelling made astronomy and physics feel accessible, and Carl Sagan’s calm presence gave it lasting impact.

Ooh, congrats!!

This is a terrifyingly accurate depiction of CRPGs from this era, which for some reason I still love anyway

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.

Thank you for reading, Greg--and that’s great! I had forgotten you knew Atari computers so well. Antic was terrific for type-in programs. As tedious as it was sometimes, from this vantage point I miss having the quiet focus to type one in for three hours, with no notifications (or people) calling...

Thank you for the opportunity BIll!

The new issue of Old School Gamer magazine, #48, landed in the mailbox today. I love the cover. Enjoy the Atari 8-bit Gaming article by me with some help from my friends. @rectapete.bsky.social @moorejh.bsky.social @jamielendino.com

Everything was fast in that era, even the drum 'n' bass

Happy Birthday to me, thank you for the mug, you weirdos

Whatever it is, I want to use it to fly to Jupiter

I had to look it up too, I just thought you didn’t like water-cooled Porsches. (and hell no, to what you meant)

I hear you, but that also means carrying it to the show. We CRT fans aren't getting younger, and neither are our backs

I spy the Prince of Persia homebrew

The REAL question is when is Elden Ring coming to Virtual Boy

The Apple Polishing Cloth has been updated to support the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, 17 Pro models, the new Ultra 3, SE 3, and Apple Watch Series 11.

+1 for the handle (“reach out and handshake”)

When you have Atari, every day is Friday

Greg! Oh my god. It's wonderful to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, I had to move; I gave all my hardware away in the late 90s and tossed the disks. I wish I kept mine too; I'm sorry. I had to re-buy all kinds of crap to write the books. I hope you and yours are well!

Yes, Autocorrect, when I put portobello mushrooms on the grocery list, I definitely meant “portable.” Good guess.

I completely forgot about that. Have to say that although we knew many of them back then (wraparound, wave, etc.) I never once heard "beaver" or "wally," uh, at least about the things mentioned in the definitions.

blast from the past!

Discover the raw power of Cubase on the Atari ST as it drives an entire modern synth setup! No DAW, no computer tricks — just pure MIDI direct! In this video, I create a full electronic track using… Making DAWless EDM on Cubase ATARI !

Nice tune and MIDI setup controlled by #AtariST (Mist FPGA) and Cubase youtu.be/vGIJzAL73ho #atari

What happens if you hack the ATM and then put the money in the small mailbox

Congrats!
