Atari Owners Club Bulletin AB20 Spring 1982:

Hi all, Im not sure if these have been scanned in befor but I have found a few issues of Atari Owners Club Bulletin. I believe these were only released in the UK but I may be wrong. Please let me know if these are of interest and i'll keep scanning in issues as and when I find them so there preserved for future generations of Atari collectors

Thanks for the welcome guys, I found a few more carts including my repro Texas Chainsaw and an original (but unfortunatly NTSC) copy of Custers Revenge..... I think I bought that off a member on here several years ago..... Ive also got a few loose carts on there way from ebay: Pole Position Missile Command Midnight Magic Sky Skipper None are oober rare but there games I enjoyed BITD and they will fuel my Atari passion im sure! Also, it seems that 2600 games, boxed or loose, have gone the same way as NES and SNES over here in PAL land and the prices have increased dramaticly in the last few years, in some cases more than double....

I need one of these in my life!

Hi all, I have an AV modded 6 switcher and ive just picked up one of these cheap little easycaps, has anyone used these to any sucsess? I'm using a modernish windows desktop and want to record some of my gameplay (for high score attempts etc) but don't fancy running Stella, I much prefer original (all be it slightly modded) hardware. Any advice re setup, best programs to run the device with, will be greatly appreciated

Cheeky little pickup, now I just need a paddle game to test them out! lol

Well your starting with 2 of my top 5 games so I'm really interested!

Are there not many PAL lovers over here

Lol. The Atari stuff was all mine and I assume stashed when I last moved house. And yes, Halloween is a repro as is Alien.... I'm sure I had Texas Chainsaw Massacre aswell…..?

Many Thanks, for now if the region is unlisted I'll assume NTSC (a fair bet I think). If I get chance I'll run through all the games an list the ones without region specification to see if we can get them updated

Sorry...... Im being a stupid Brit I think...... Where does it say the region? https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=199

This may be a silly question or I may just be blind..... The homebrew games available on the store here (for the 2600) are the all NTSC or are there PAL options..... or has the worly gone bonkers and there region free??? Thanks for any light shed. CX40

Although theres about a million games I need to hunt down the first issue I need to sort out is a worling CX40 and a set of paddles..... roll on payday!!!

Hi All, This is my small collection that was somehow saved from the videogame ebay cull of 2014. I found them all in my parents loft less than a week ago and have decided to get back into the fold!

On the basis I only have 14 games.... id keep all of them! In all seriousness though, when I collected previously I shoeboxed some that I refused to get rid of: Halloween Alien Yars Revenge Berzerk In addition Because I swore Id kept a copy, id have Pole Position and River Raid...... Im sure there in the loft somewhere..... ..... and all the paddle games...

Hi All! I cant believe after all these years im delving back into the world of Atari. Short version of my Atari History: As with many, I owned one back in the day but this quicky got sent to the car boot when my NES came along. Fast forward a decade and im in high school and ebay has just appeared on the web…. I get hooked back into the 2600 fast and mass up a huge collection by anyones standards, another decade passes, a ring goes onto my wifes finger and the rest is a sad sad part of my history (not my wife, shes amazing… just grown up bill stuff which ment my collection had to go!) Anyway, lets cut to the chase, Monday morning, while clearing boxes for my parents in there loft I found a boxed 6 switch woodie and a shoebox full of carts!!!! This ladies and gentlemen is why I am here, to re embrace the world of the 2600 with like minded soals. Thanks for having me CX40Hero aka Dave PS, Apologies if this post is not in the correct section, im still finding my feet here
