  1. Here's a first look at the Switch version of Caverns of Mars: Recharged from John Hancock.

      The "happy"/"this is cool" thumbnail that he uses is hilarious 😂

  2. Yars is rising on the VCS!

      It's a good teaser trailer, one that has really amped up the VCS base.

      That is going to be an interesting game. Thanks for posting.

    We had to get out before the rain, so we headed to the local botanical garden. I like the otherworldly cactus section.

  5. It was cool to see French Youtuber Manu Atari (GemTos) share out the ClubVCS Fanzine!

      WHOA cool, I'm just now seeing this! Late last night I finished some back end "club" work on the site and before bed took out the Club VCS Zine and read through it again. I never expected a print edition would materialize so quickly and look so good. VCS players are extremely lucky to receive this kind of incredible support. I always think of the Amico guys out there who must feel so devastated about where things are right now, and then I look at the VCS community and think how fortunate we are to have this.

  6. I think this simple post on today's announcement of the Atari 400 has been my most viewed/liked post ever on X. Over 6k views, 130 likes, tons of comments and 24 reposts. Who knew the 400 MINI would elicit such excitement? It's bizarre.

      It is weird!  Perhaps there's a huge untapped market for the 8-bit's.  It's been an ignored platform for such a long time.

      It has the vibe of the Millennium Falcon flying in to destroy the second Death Star in "Return of the Jedi" 

       

  8. Another stop motion unboxing!  This time its the AtariXP reissue of Super Breakout for the 2600!

      These are so much fun to watch.  👌

  9. 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:

      and the chart looks like pac-man!  :pac_man:

  10. 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!

      It's great to see that Atari seems to be thriving and is becoming a viable company unlike the Amico people.

  11. Did you see the sweet prize that we're giving away for this series of the Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge?  It might seem silly, but the Atari Speaker Hats are surprisingly functional! 😉

    A winner will be announced between now and mid-August! Series Four kicks off tomorrow and runs through December 31st!

  12. Anyone else think that Apple may have had some inspiration?! IMG_20230606_063321~2.jpg

      I know for a fact they did 😎

  13. Why can't this presentation create itself???

      If it did, it wouldn't have the desired outcome!

       

  14. Who else knows the joy of receiving a package with Atari Pilfer Proof Tape? Puts a smile on my face every time!

      That feeling is the "Best". 

       

  15. Happy International Asteroid Day! It's also the last day to get your best score in on our Asteroids: Recharged Squad Challenge!

    Its almost like I planned it that way... 🤔

    Celebrate by posting your best attempt before 11:59 pm PST at ClubVCS!

      This looks incredible! What Atari should've been doing all along :crystal_castles:

  17. A new Recharged Squad Challenge is up at ClubVCS! This one really ROCKS!

      THANK YOU @Sabertooth!! @Gianna and I will both try to participate in this one 🕹️🕹️

  18. I decided to revisit the blog with my full review of Centipede: Recharged!

     

    1. Justin

      Justin

      Just read your new Blog post! Excellent review! Looks like an amazing game!

  19. Anyone have an Arcade1up machine? Wondering about their build quality? 

    1. Justin

      Justin

      In my experience they have been pretty cheap. They might survive okay in the corner of a collector's room but kids would tear those controls apart. For the same amount of money it's possible to find a real arcade machine with solid controls that you can do whatever you want with.

  20. Look at these fancy new forums!

    1. Justin

      Justin

      Be sure to check out the fancy new blogs! Now you can add big header images, have more freedom to format the pages better, and I like how all of the blogs are presented on the main blog page too. I hope you like it!

      Nice review atarilbc! I remember the first time reading that "Super Burnout" was coming out for the Jaguar, I misread it as "Super Breakout" and thought.. wow, really? :)

  21. RIP, George A. Romero! Actually RIP may be inappropriate for the man that invented the zombie film genre. May you rise to feast upon our flesh!

  22. There is a thread on AA stating the Keith Robinson of Intellivision has passed. I haven't been able to find a news account to verify. If true, this marks the passing of a retro gaming legend and a very nice guy. Here's the discussion: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/266706-keith-robinson-passed-away/?do=findComment&comment=3784483

      SHOCKING news. Keith is a fantastic guy. Wow..

  23. The Odyssey2 is hard to fully disassemble...
