    Wow, I was hoping to see something like the original Atari Age magazine for the current Atari and now it's here!
    I love the layout and the articles published.  Maybe there might be a column for using PC Mode on the VCS which would be a nice call back to the Atari computer days.

    Thanks to everyone who has taken time to check out the zine! I really appreciate the positive feedback from everyone. The flipbook has over 500 views and only half of those are me. LOL
    This is an excellent suggestion @MistaMaddog , and I'd love to include a PC mode article in future issues.
    @Tony Waldron - this is a great note to have on the use of "IP." I'll be more mindful to define abbreviations. 😅

    This magazine is incredible!  Obviously a labor of love and a great throwback for lovers of Atari!  Back to the days of flipping magazines to learn about new games, etc.  I haven't read everything and I only just found out about it but I really enjoy it so far!  
    I can't wait to finish reading it but thank you so much @Sabertooth and any other contributors for making something so cool.

    I have a Phoenix, not a ColecoVision.  It can play the 2600 games.  🙂

    Not a recent purchase, but I have a ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 too. I like to play Atari on all of my consoles. I've had my ColecoVision for less than 2 years now, but have to admit that I really like most of their arcade ports. Not a fan of the OG controllers, but I have plenty of other options today.🙂

    What's everyone shopping list looking like? I'm going to end up spending the majority of my wallet at the AtariAge booth. I'm also planning to stop by Song Bird and Champ Games and maybe Intellivision Revolution. Outside of that, I don't know much of anything, so I will just browse until something catches my eye. Couple of years ago, I found some Star Blazers stuff as I wandered about.

    I need to get in on this if/when more are made.
    I have "Spinner" games on a couple of Spin Cart Multicarts (that's why I have a spinner controller too), but I thought I had TB games on a cart too. Maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to check the carts.

    Just adding ball tops to the controllers is enough to make them much more usable at that point! Highly recommended as I didn't care for the OG feel either.

    Background story: I like blue themed desktop pics on my Windows PC so that's what I download.  And I switch between Light Mode & Dark Mode depending on what I use my PC for.  Light Mode is for "work stuff" and I use the standard Win 10 logo screen and Dark Mode is for when I relax and play games and/or just web browse. These are my favorites...

    This is my overall retro gaming background, works great for both original games and recharched ones. 🙂
     

    I used this for when I play on MAME to have a feel of an 80's arcade.  I got this from a HyperSpin theme which is great for a background pic.

    And this is for when I play Doom mods and pretty much any modern PC game (which is mostly FPS stuff).
    Once I get my RPi 4 hooked up again I'll have some post some VCS related pics I used for Ubuntu...

    This is a pic I took a while back.  I liked it enough that it became my background on my home computer and has been ever since I took it.

    That looks awesome! It was going to sold boxed but the IP holder sent a C&D.   I'm actually surprised it is still available online as a download.  I would have loved to see something like this on the 7800!  If it looks that good on the C64, imagine how it would look on the 7800!

    Very nice, Steve! I'm also a huge believer in the role of controllers and the playing experience. When I dig more into the Vectrex, I will have to get one of these.
    I recently got the track ball controller (which I forgot to post) and need to get the track ball games. Maybe they're already on one of the multi-carts I have.
