NYC Atari Club?

[ClausB]

Was there an Atari club in New York City back in the day? Where and when did it meet? I lived in Manhattan in 1984-5 but never saw one. Curt Vendel has written about being involved in one though.

Long Island Atari User Group (LIAUG)

 

Brooklyn Atari Society for Information (BASIC)

 

 

Possibly more. not sure exactly how close some of the other groups listed were to NYC. Groups dissolved a long time ago. Maybe someone has newsletters from the groups.

 

 

Added: Go to google and search for "Newsletter for ...fill in the name of the group shown above."

I founded PDFs online for LIAUG and a description on AtariArchives.org for BASIC.

There was also Ol' Hackers out on Long Island.

 

Not sure if there was a NYC specific club though

I would be amazed if there wasn't quite a few in NYC.

In the early '80s we had at least one in Charleston, SC, so a city the size of New York should have several. At least one would think.

If you look in old Atari magazines, many of them listed Atari user groups.

 

I know Atari Connection had them as well as others.

 

Some of them did great newsletters. I would love to see a an archive of them.

I think there were two pretty active ones in Indianapolis back in the day (for comparison). Larry would know better.

The current group in Indy is a bit lame lately
