Arenafoot Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 This was printed in a reputable Atari magazine, but it is so funny that I am not sure just how "official" it was. http://www.retroist.com/2016/05/27/do-you-know-the-official-atari-handshake/ Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
Rowsdower70 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 I'm not sure I'm comfy with a stranger handling my joystick. "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
Ballblaɀer Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 "We met recently with an Atari Vice President (who prefers to remain anonymous), and in the course of our conversation, she let slip..." So -- Jan Soderstrom, VP of Atari corporate advertising? Were there any other women VPs? I can picture it now, the geek programmers all being legit upset at this... "DON'T SHOW JAN THE NEW TRAK-BALL HANDSHAKE, SHE TOTALLY SPOILED THE JOYSTICK ONE!"
RickR Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 This seems like code for something else. Agree. It's code for "Meet me out in the hot tub by Stella's desk".
MalakZero Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 Now I'm morbidly curious to see what the paddle controller handshake looks like O_o "Mmmrrrrrrhhhh.....game.....gooooood....."
