Dear Micro Center, can you stop emailing me about writing a product review? I only bought a friggen SD card.

Will 2021 be the first year without an Artie the Atari comic strip? Will it?! WILL IT?!! Tune into the strip tomorrow to find out! Wait... I just gave it away. Anyway, new strip coming tomorrow. Clearly I'm out-of-practice with the PR stuff.

Garfield's adventure on getting the paper.

Hello, Some of you might possibly remember me. I was active in the Atari groups on USENET from 1989 till about 1997. I was an active Atari 800 XL owner. I got into a multi year argument with the developers of BattleSphere for the Atari Jaguar. That's untreated depression for you. I did go to a couple of the Toad Net days. For some reason I signed up 5 years ago and never posted on the forums. I thought I did. I thought I might have had an earlier account and was active. I had a massive heart attack in 2012 and my memory has been crap since. I've been playing video games since 1974 with the launch of the first Odyssey. Got the Atari VCS 2600 in 1978 or 79. Got the Atari 800xl shortly after Jack Tramel bought the company. I bought an Atari jaguar at launch as well as the CD unit. I tried to get an Atari falcon but my pre-order was stuck on a boat, and then never appeared. Last night December 8th, 2021, I bought an Atari VCS 800 mini pc and I thought about this place. So here I am again.

In a very special non-Garfield episode of Artie the Atari... https://atariage.com/forums/blogs/entry/17830-so-long-farewell-auf-wiedersehen-adieu/

My wife is having twin girls. She's 12 weeks in. I'm so frickin' happy.

New WinUAE and trs80gp are out!

It has begun. A package coming from two hours away from my house has been in limbo and hasn't even reached the shippers local distribution center in five days. Merry Christmas lol.

Wow. This avatar turned out to be a real keeper.

RIP Nintendo Hardware designer Masayuki Uemura. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgp2M51Mt8A As someone who still has his NES and Super NES, this was sudden.

My C64 woes continue now that my 1541 drive stopped working while I was replacing my breadbin's CIA chip. Why do Commodore stuff have to be so needy?

Farewell King - RIP ? Masayuki Uemura, the former lead architect of the NES and SNES, has passed away. He was one of the genius minds behind some of our best game memories.
