19 years ago tonight I was in Madison Square Garden taking some of the better concert photos I’ve ever snapped. Is it a sign of having reached mid-life when the majority of your memories can be described with “feels like a different lifetime entirely”?

Hey everybody, I was a guest on a podcast recently! The hosts of the Reddmasq had me on to talk about the recent VCF, all my masochistic TTL projects, and all sorts of other stuff! youtu.be/2ZLAd5Xgb0s?...

I’m auctioning twelve 2600 cartridges from Thailand on eBay in order to help fund (what else?) a big Atari purchase. If you search for Atari + Thailand you’ll find ‘em. Gotta love these “Activision” cartridges that use Cliff Spohn’s Wizard artwork (created for… Atari, not Activision).

The janky lettering on this Pong has got my blood pressure up. Gonna practice some self-care now by staring at that beautiful Video Pinball for a while.

Some really great arcade cabinets at Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year:

“[Nolan] Bushnell believes that [Atari graphic designer George] Opperman purposefully offered multiple, conflicting origin stories for the [‘Fuji’] logo…” What if Opperman didn’t want to reveal outside inspiration? NCR (carbonless) Paper and Boards sample book, c. 1960s by Wiggins Teape Ltd.

So I'm really excited to say that the first DLC pack, The Wider World of Atari, has an extensive video interview with Evelyn Seto, the graphic designer who actually INKED THE ICONIC FUJI LOGO back in 1972, and went on to lead Atari's graphic design efforts in later years.

As part of tomorrow's DLC release, #Atari50 will get an update, and it includes a surprise: Neo Breakout gets a level editor, courtesy of its programmer, Jason Cirillo. This new feature isn't part of DLC; it's for all Atari 50 players. Watch for that patch on your platform of choice tomorrow!
