Wow.<p>AtariAge Forums were a great resource for gathering all things of retro computing, some of which ended up contributing to collections such as BitSavers and Trailing Edge.<p>It&#x27;s where I initially discovered wonderful work by volunteers to create an archive of scanned BYTE magazines:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forums.atariage.com&#x2F;topic&#x2F;167235-byte-magazine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forums.atariage.com&#x2F;topic&#x2F;167235-byte-magazine&#x2F;</a><p>Now there are a number of sites that have BYTE collections, and the Internet Archive is a natural place for them. But the Internet Archive is constantly attacked by copyright holders, and it&#x27;s quite possible it could be taken down at some point in the future.<p>So AtariAge added robustness to the collective Internet as an archive. I don&#x27;t expect that to continue, now that it has been acquired.

How many different Atari corporations have existed during the atari-age forum&#x27;s lifespan?<p>for any other brand this would be exciting news to see the original developers get invested in homebrews, but in atari&#x27;s case i just see this as yet another desperate attempt by whoever&#x27;s in charge at this point to try to find a way to monetize a brand name which is both extremely iconic and entirely lacking in products, services and customers.<p>Last I checked they were trying to launch a chain of hotels which would cater to game conventions and e-sports events, guess that one didn&#x27;t pan out. Kinda curious if the problem was launching during COVID, or just having a fundamentally dumb idea.<p>It just seem like this brand gets passed around a lot between investors&#x2F;VCs because it seems like the name recognition alone should make it a goldmine and yet it doesn&#x27;t. I&#x27;m actually surprised Elon didn&#x27;t buy it to be the new brandname for Twitter in lieu of X.<p>Anyways, if the corporation that currently calls itself &quot;Atari&quot; is going to get in the business of distributing &quot;official&quot; carts of homebrews for classic Atari products I think that&#x27;s really neat and it might actually be viable as a small business as long as they keep their ambitions in check and don&#x27;t try to compete with the likes of Nintendo[1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Intellivision_Amico" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Intellivision_Amico</a>

It looks like all the game ROMs now 404. Does that have anything to do with being acquired by Atari?

I love the Atari 8-bit computers. I don&#x27;t want to start a flame war with C64, CoCo and Apple II folks because I love them too... But the early Atari computers, as opposed to the console and the ST, seems to be less remembered despite being so amazing.

The Atari Jaguar homebrew community is still using statically-linked Linux a.out executables built around 1995 (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;ml&#x2F;linux-kernel&#x2F;4c449fab-8135-5057-7d2c-7b948ce130cc@theinnocuous.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;ml&#x2F;linux-kernel&#x2F;4c449fab-8135-5057-7d2c-7b94...</a>), at least to some extent.

I hope someone archives the site, because fan sites with this kind of history get butchered when a commercial interest has a change of mgmt, and companies have a shorter lifespan than the fan interest. Good on the site operating turning it into some income though.

Happy for Albert to get a job, but I expect this to be the end of the site in the not so far future, given that Atari seems to be more about squeezing every last drop out of their old portfolio. The homebrew community can be forever grateful to the site though (well, to Curt Vendel and Glenn Bruner) for getting ahold of the original Jaguar Encryption keys so that homebrew CD games just work on unmodified consoles, so that&#x27;s a pretty amazing legacy to leave.<p>What is the current Atari company actually doing? They seemed to have scrapped their crypto casino, their VCS seems to be a complete failure that made even less money than the Ouya, so that leaves the $1000 limited edition cartridge set, merchandise, and compilations of old stuff for current systems (Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is really good!)? Nothing wrong with being a nostalgia company, but I really wonder if they have anything new going forward, or if they are just going to maintain the brand to re-release old games?

How long will it take for this AtariAge thread to bring up Tommy Tallarico and the Intellivision Amico I wonder.
