Join the Atari Club

One of the only perks of joining the Atari Club is that for only $1 you got a subscription to Atari Age magazine. It was just chock full of Atari related info and news. As a suburban kid who didn’t have access to stores that sold video games, this was my lifeline to a much larger video game playing world. I remember clipping a card very similar to the one featured below when I joined up. If I had only know what a nostalgia freak I would become as I got older I would have held onto my Atari Ages, but sadly they went out with the trash whenever the new issue came.

  1. I used to love Atari and I’ve actually been thinking of getting back into it again.

  2. The Retroist says:

    You should, their is a robust MAME and classic gaming community out there for you to explore. Do you have the old system?

  3. Rob says:

    Holy sheit! I had those! Thanks for the memory!

  4. The Retroist says:

    Glad I can share Rob. Would you like to see some old Atari Age issues if I posted them? Check out the Atari Age X-mas catalog for starters
