Three more days left to go! I’m scheduled to be discharged this Wednesday. My rehab will continue into the coming weeks, and I will be traveling from home. Come tomorrow, I will have been in the hospital for two weeks. While I love the constant care and ease of rehab logistics, I’m looking forward to returning home and enjoying the comforts of home.
And I bought a bunch of stuff while being hospitalized, and it’ll be like early Christmas when I get home 😂 My wife didn’t sound too thrilled with the number of boxes stacked in my office at home.

DELETED THREAD - TO BE CLEAR it was ME😎that deleted the Having a bad day Thread or whatever it was with the car crashes / accidents. We don't need that here even under the guise of a positive message of "It could be worse" those type of videos / images are not good for the vibe here on AtariIO, enough of that stuff elsewhere and those type of threads just grow and get out of hand, not the vibe we foster here on AA. I considered just deleting it and letting that be message enough but just for clarity sake as well as credit where it is due, there is nothing to add or respond to on the subject (frankly, if anyone does not like it they can lump it🤷‍♂️) I suggest it's left at that - Keep it light, fun and not at the expense of other's. 😉Have a good one folks. - Sincerely Rob. 

Congrats to @socrates63 on his 2nd big Squad Challenge win in a row! Incredible. GET WELL SOON!

It's the LAST DAY to try and catch @Sabertooth in the ClubVCS Yars' Challenge and @socrates63 in the 7800 Asteroids Challenge!
GAME ON PEOPLE!

I feel a summer cold coming on. 🤧

I was shocked and saddened to see that "The Condor" Kevin Mitnick - the legendary hacker and security expert, who I've followed on Instagram and Twitter for years, passed away at the age of 59 from Pancreatic Cancer. I had no idea. He leaves behind a pregnant wife. 😔

I was so excited to get this and then I saw the condition of the slip cover.

The AtariAge "Last Chance" sale ends THIS SUNDAY 7/23/23.  I ordered a couple of 2600 games that were on my list.  Grab em before they are gone!
 

Let's revive the Atari.io "Club Evercade".  Please join the club whether you have an Evercade or not and help spread the word.  It's a great system for retro gamers!  I'll be posting thoughts, reviews, and new release info, and hoping like crazy that others will join in with their stories and expertise.

My house is empty again and I get my gaming room back!  VCS challenges are back in play!!!

A newly released study by the Video Game History Foundation show that only 13 percent of classic games from 4 decades are available commercially due to a variety of issues. It's a fascinating read.
Full study:

ICYMI: Polymega and Atari are collaborating on a 2600/7800 module that will be compatible with the VCS. They are also bringing the full functionality of Polymega to the VCS.
Discuss in ClubVCS!
