Title: Atari 2600 at 45
Post by: TrekMD on September 29, 2022, 17:22:03 PM

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the Atari 2600.  This excellent article on PC Magazine does a nice overview of the system's history and even talks about homebrew games for the system.  Worth a read:  The Atari 2600 at 45: The Console That Brought Arcade Games Home (https://www.pcmag.com/opinions/atari-2600-console-brought-arcade-games-home)

Good article. I'm really looking forward to the Atari 50 collection that's coming out soon. It even has Jaguar games on it!

Also good to see you still posting Trek. I hope that means the hurricane didn't hit too hard where you are.  :)

The hurricane did not do much to Miami, thankfully.  Orlando and the West Coast of Florida are another thing, unfortunately. 

I'm also looking forward to the Atari 50 Collection! 

And yes, I'm still posting but but as much as before.  I've been far busier with work since the pandemic started and it has not slowed down.
