These finally came in! Not games but a documentary I supported on Kickstarter about the artwork on the boxes of games.

Oh, that gives me an idea! You should match the release of your Space Shuttle episode to the actual launch of the new Atari VCS! How's that for a great idea?

Hell hath frozen! Atari VCS Production Officially BeginsToday’s update marks an important event as we “Flip the switch” on Atari VCS mass production! That’s right; this week, mass production on the first new Atari VCS systems is underway. Our Indiegogo campaign page header has changed to show that Atari VCS is officially in the “Production” stage. This is the batch of approximately 500 pieces as mentioned previously. These important Atari VCS Onyx systems are mainly earmarked for additional content developers, merchant and distributor samples and other critical business uses such as standard reliability testing, in advance of the full 10,000 unit run of Collector’s Edition and Onyx units going to our valued Indiegogo Backers, and then more units for our following customers. Technically, we have been in various phases of “Production” for many months, but the team always felt that it wouldn't be right to change the header until we enter mass production. We and our partners continue fighting hard to overcome the ongoing supply chain obstacles to the full Indiegogo run, and are doing everything in our power so that you backers -- being first in line -- can actually be playing with your Atari VCS as soon as practicable. As always, we'll provide more updates as we are able. The entire Atari team hopes you, your family and friends all stay safe and healthy during these unprecedented times, and send our sincere gratitude and well-wishes to all the medical and front-line workers around the world. More soon… — The Atari VCS Team

Fantastic. Already downloaded so I can listen to it. I see it's over 2 hours long, so plenty of feedback must have been sent it. Stay well as well, Ferg!

Just watched this and thought I'd share it... Star Trek: Picard's Michael Chabon and Akiva Goldsman reveal some of the show's greatest secrets and easter eggs. Akiva and Michael break down the return of the Captain Picard Day sign, the numerous references to The Gorn, and the newest implementation of Vasquez Rocks. Also, if anyone doesn't have CBS All Access and wants to watch the show for free, check this: All episodes of Star Trek: Picard are now free to non-subscribers

Atari Archive bring us the history of that Atari 2600 classic, Adventure! Atari's second release of March 1980 wasn't the commercial behemoth that Space Invaders was, but Adventure has proved to be a durable and influential title in its own right. Warren Robinett's final game written at Atari was unusual and groundbreaking much like its cousin Superman, and is a true crown jewel in Atari's original game lineup. Its influences are felt even today.
