The Atari Connection & Atari Age Old School Magazines on CD

Description: Atari Age was a magazine distributed to Atari Club members from 1982 until 1984. It was published by The Atari Club Inc., a subsidiary of Atari, Inc Created in 1982, Atari Age was given to all Atari Club members as a perk for joining the club. Upon paying the US$1 club membership fee, the member would also receive a year's subscription to Atari Age. The magazine regularly featured content related to all things Atari. This included coverage of Atari-related news, coverage of Atari-related events, exclusive looks at new products from Atari, technical articles, exclusive offers to Atari Club members, and a full catalog of Atari-related merchandise and paraphernalia. Atari Age ceased publication in 1984, after Warner Communications sold the consumer division of Atari to Jack Tramiel. (11 Issues) The Atari Connection was the official publication of the Atari Computer division. It was a quarterly slick-format newsletter/magazine that was as much an extended sales brochure as it was an informational magazine. (14 Issues) !:*BONUS*:! Atarian Video Game Magazine is a bimonthly magazine devoted to Atari's console lineup as it existed in the late 1980s, including the Atari 2600, 5200, and XE Game System. Targeted as Atari's answer to Nintendo Power, it is notable for being the last computer or game-related magazine headed by computer-mag pioneer David Ahl. Atarian was spun off of Atari Explorer, the company's in-house computer magazine, in 1989 in order to focus on younger gamers. Although its design is old-fashioned compared to the magazines of the day, it includes all the features you'd expect, including previews, reviews, an interview (with Nolan Bushnell in the premiere issue), a Top 30 ranking, and a strategy section. There was even a regular comic, featuring the superhero Atari fighting against the evil Ninja-Endo an obvious take on Nintendo's domination of the industry. With said domination firmly in place by 1989, and with less-than-enthusiastic backup from Atari themselves, the magazine folded quietly after three issues. It was available on newsstands, but only attracted a very small set of advertisers. (3 Issues) You will be receiving all issues on a data disc. Each issue is scanned and converted into a .pdf format, you will need a program that can read/open a .pdf file to enjoy! Images are not perfect but they are readable!
