  • Atari is back!

    As a Gen-Xer who spent many hours with my Atari 2600 and 1200XL, it is fantastic to see this company surging ahead again. I use my Atari VCS nearly every day and love most of the new games they are releasing.

    This podcast is so great for us true fans. They are always interesting and go very deep with the topics and guests.
