- Ω -

At least you guys got something you're excited about.  I ended up wasting nearly $50.00 on an F-22 Raptor model because I was stupid ordering at 3:30 in the morning without coffee in my system and therefore didn't think to read it's actual size.  Below are the Franklin Mint models for size comparison.

Thanks, I really not looking for yet another game machine.  I'd like to feed my real 5200 some new games or even a new cartridge.  I remember there was a remake of Omega Race for it a few years back, but I cannot remember the name of it. (getting old sucks).

I hear about the VCS, I hear about the 7800 and all the recharged PC goodies.  But I have to wonder, will the new Atari ever give any love to us 5200 die hards?  Even if they simply went out and bought the rights to the best of the best hacks from enthusiast programmers and slapped the Atari name and label on a cartridge it would nice.  The last game I purchase for the 5200 was Tempest from AA (now owned by Atari).  Being able to get some NEW & GOOD games for Big Sexy sure would be nice. 

Awww maaaaan!  I wish I had known.  Oh well, toner is cheap.

Thanks so much @- Ω -! It definitely took longer than I expected and I learned alot along the way. I'm glad that folks are enjoying it. 🕹

I may have been able to save you some ink... 🙃
 

AtariAge sells plenty of 5200 games.  Look on their store, or even on ebay:

This Fanzine is so worthy, that to get the full nostalgic effect, I simply had to print it up!

@Sabertooth  I'm impressed, totally blown away actually.  I know and respect how much time and effort it takes to produce this kind of quality work.  You've earned a lot of respect from many people I'm sure.  I  simply cannot say, "Good job", I have to be totally honest here and say, "Totally awesome and noteworthy job."

Speaking of word getting out.  I'd like to see the word get out (to selected nice people) about this hidden enclave that is Atari.io.  Know a nice person? Give them a personal invite!  One thing I've learned in life is that the biggest is not always the best.

Word is getting out!

 

Hi @Marco1019, yes please do! Thanks for featuring the zine on your stream!

I may be able to contribute to the magazine too. 

I featured the fanzine on last night's show and I've since edited the segment. May I share the link in this thread?

I will feature this fanzine on my Twitch show next Wednesday night at 9pm ET.

I want to take a second to thank everyone again for your kind words and encouragement.  This was made with the community in mind and I'm thrilled that folks seem to be enjoying it.  I also want to note something that might have been missed above in the first comment, and that's this:
If you have an idea for an article or want to contribute to future issues, message me here or send an email to clubvcs@protonmail.com.
This is our fanzine.  We were lucky to have great contributors/collaborators like @Mockduck, @RickR and @Podan for Issue 01.   If you enjoy writing, have a great idea for an article or have a flare for design, consider this an invite.   😉

I'm still reading this magazine, but just had to take a moment to say, "This is really impressive!" Awesome job!!!!

agree 1000000%!

Just fantastic! I'm putting up a Newsline about it here in a few 😉 Thank you Sabertooth! Fantastic A+++ job! Nobody could have done it better bro!

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.

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. 😅
 

It took me a while to remember what IP meant as it is written in the magazine, but I finally remembered, 'Intellectual Property'.
Thanks for a great read and I'm looking forward to the next issue.

💯 agree! You could charge for this. Thx!

HUGE thank you @Sabertooth.  This is done so well.  Very professional.  A tremendous effort.
