AtariAge featured in this weeks' Entertainment Weekly!

[Snider-man]

Entertainment Weekly just produced a huge article on the appeal of retrogaming. They rated three classic gaming websites and gave AtariAge here an "A!" I have sent a scan of the entire article to Alex-Albert for posible posting. The issue is dated January 18, 2002. THe other two sites are Classic Gaming (A-) and Pong-Story (B).

For such a young site, this is definitely the hub of the Atari community. well deserved

[Tempest]

That's awesome! Congrats. No mention of 8-Bit Rot though, must be the communist slant my page has...

there will probably be alot of hits for AtariAge after everyone reads that article, EW is a pretty large publication

[rasty]

Wohoo again, the screenshot in the top-left is from my pong!!!

Did you actually write that version of pong? Or was it a hack?

[Lemmi]

Sweet i hope to read that soon

[bcprs1]

This site just plain kicks ass!!!!. It is no wonder they mentioned it in the mag. Way to go atariage.com

[rasty]

GazP: I actually wrote it some years ago. It's for the PC anyway, it's a recreation...

 

greets,

Wow very impressive. And I agree Atari-Age is the definitive Atari site and its a pleasure to be a part of it. Every-one that posts is awesome... Ive noticed many new people joining...And we went from 1 girl poster (Jun) To as far as I can tell about 5 in the past month. I think Atari Age is finally becoming Chic with the ladies?

Thanks Alex and Albert for all the hard work and for keeping up such a fun site. You deserve all the recognition!!!

 

P.S. I think an A+ would have been a better grade for the site.

[rasty]

Yea I agree. One of the things about AtariAge that most surprised me is the lack of flames in the forums. It's incredible how well this community can stick togeter. I think it should serve as a model to most websites...

You hit the big-time guys!

 

This site just out-n-out ROCKS. Or as we would have put it 15 years ago, "AtariAge.com is totally awesome! Fer Sure!"

[Atari-Jess]

what did the cover look like??

[jahfish]

i also had to mention that atariage is the no.1 news-source for atari on TV. so now germany, austria and france knows !!!!

 

i also mentioned curt vendels site, being full of interesting facts too. (ok, it's not a news-site and has no message board, but i didn't care, and i guess curt doen't care either that his site was featured on TV in 3 different countries)

 

 

al, alex, curt ... that was another 2 seconds of fame for you!!!

 

each homepage was shown in full screen ....

 

you will both recieve a CD from me with the documentary.

 

greetings

[Jun Kazama]

Great job, Alex and Al you guys are hitting the big time. Im not sure if you know this but screen savers also featured your site once thats where i found out about it.

 

HELL YEAH IM THE FIRST GIRL!

[ubersaurus]

I saw that on the screen savers. I already knew about it though

[Snider-man]

What does the cover look like? You're looking for the Jan. 18 edition with Will Smith and Hally Berry on the cover.

[Malix]

Just a testament to all the hard work. Way to go!!!

[slapdash]

Since the other topic is closed, I thought I'd write something here...

 

Congrats, Jess (mneko) on the Kabul mention in the Entertainment Weekly article. Aren't you glad now that I talked you into doing it?

[ubersaurus]

I'm glad he made it, its a sweet hack first time I showed my dad it he just cracked up!
