My first impressions were a little skewed, but after doing more meticulous searching on Google, I learned that the Atari 600XL is considered a part of the Atari 8-bit computer line and that’s a good thing when games are […]

Keeping up with the PCA tread about being 6 months behind the rest of the web, I reintroduce to you the Atari 2600 label maker.  I never really messed with this fun little image generator, but on my travels across the internets and increasing my knowledge of the Atari, I started to actually play around […]

A series of 3 video tapes (remember those?) back in the early 80’s, “How to Beat Home Video Games” is probably one of the earliest video strategy guides about video games.  I stumbled across a few random YouTube videos like “Space Invaders” and “Missile Command” and I just had to laugh out loud.  Really, someone actually […]
