Atari Buys AtariAge
Atari has opened up their chequebook to buy AtariAge, the one-stop website for your Atari related retro info.
AtariAge has been around for decades at this point, and has been the centre of fans for the classic consoles and games that all but established the videogames market. The website has tons of information about Atari consoles, games and even the Atari homebrew scene.
Speaking to gamesindustry.biz, Atari CEO Wade Rosen said;
“For 25 years the AtariAge community has documented Atari games and provided a valuable forum for a large and passionate community of retro game fans, collectors, and homebrew developers. By bringing AtariAge into the Atari family, we can ensure this important resource gets the support it needs to continue to fulfill its mission for years to come.”
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’ probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it.
Something I’m doing at the moment? Playing through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, and all the other mainline Final Fantasy games up 12 on the Switch.
