MistaMaddog Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 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. - Ω -, Sabertooth, RickR and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Waldron Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 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. - Ω -, DegasElite and Sabertooth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 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. 😅 Smell Dawg, - Ω -, DegasElite and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Pro Gamer Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 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.

Marco1019 Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Here is the Club VCS Fanzine segment from last night's show. This video has been edited slightly from the original airing; I did share the link in the chat. I apologize in advance for any errors during the segment; I've been juggling personal matters, one of which I talked about at the end of the show. I can say that the fanzine segment was well-received by the viewers. They pointed out the 1980s style and layout. Enjoy the segment! - Ω -, DegasElite and Sabertooth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Ω - Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 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.

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."
