Very special thanks to @Sabertooth for the ClubVCS Recharged Squad Challenge Giveaway prize, which arrived today.  The modern controller is totally awesome, but the classy letter and pins (my favorite is the Donut Dodo) take it over the top!
I hope everyone takes the opportunity to join in.  And invite your friends.  LETS DO THIS!

Here's the ClubVCS Recharged Squad Challenge button set for Series 3.

Legends Pinball Micro is now in its intended spot in my gaming room!  It is a perfect fit. 

Ugh!  Shouldn't this be over by now?  Summer can't get here fast enough.  It just started sticking, and now the forecast has it snowing all night.  Sigh. 

Here's a promo reel from Atari that is associated with their just launched Republic (Fig) investment fundraiser - Atari Games Pool. Regardless of what folks think about the investment structure, the promo is pretty neat and shows some as yet unreleased/announced games. The reel is definitely worth a look!

PSA: Atari's running 20% off of merch, including the VCS at atari.com. For the All-In, the first 100 customers can get an extra 15% using code RED15.
That's $204 for the black Walnut plus two controllers!

🤔 I wonder if kids 30 years from now will collect fidget spinners?

PSA:  Our Series Two giveaway winner will be announced in an upcoming episode of Atari Newsline by @Ballistik! Be sure to keep your eyes on Ballistik's awesome YouTube channel and check it out if you're not already a subscriber!

Thanks to Ballistik for helping with the announcement and getting the word out about ClubVCS and our challenge!

It is awesome. 50 tables included. 

Micro Pinball has arrived!  It took about two weeks, which was expected.
FedEX delivered it to the wrong address (the house next door).  No biggie, but still.  Not cool.  My poor neighbor was embarrassed that I saw her in PJ's.  Oops.
I'm not sure that I'll have time to open and assemble this today, but I will post here when I do. 
 

If you are on Instagram, there is a fun Atari-related hashtag, #FebrATARI. Each day in February, post a different Atari pic.
I'm doing A to Z Jaguar games as much as possible since 2023 marks the 30-year anniversary of the Jaguar's launch.
I'm also posting mine to Twitter:

How many AV switches are in your original hardware setup?
I have three: 5-in/2-out S-Video, 4-in/1-out component, 4-in/1-out HDMI.
The retro consoles run into a RetroTnk 2xPro to the HDMI switcher. They also run to a Samsung GX TV for light gun games. The modern consoles go to the HDMI switcher. HDMI for all consoles is out through an mClassic to an Avermedia Live gmGamer 2 Plus capture card to my 4k TV.
It is an exhausting setup and makes me want to box it all up and move to emulation...almost. 

The February ClubVCS Recharged Squad Challenge game is Neo Breakout from Atari 50!
Live now through February 28th!
