Visit online at www.Atari7800.com


To commemorate their 10th Anniversary online, Atari 7800.com has launched a completely new website that is sure to knock your socks off. Really.


Combining a masterful blend of form and function, Atari 7800 (dot.com)'s higly-polished new website saturates the screen, potent with vivid imagery, well-written articles, and an approach to Atari history that encompasses a take-no-prisoners Christopher Hitchens-esq mix of vulgarity and abrasive honesty that cuts to the core.


Atari 7800.com exists to promote interest in - and define the legacy of - the least common and most underappreciated of the classic Atari's systems: the Atari 7800.


The site celebrates a legacy of fun & joy with Atari Games, History, Tips & Tricks, Podcast, Downloads & More! You'll find everything needed to get acquainted with the 7800, with new pages currently being developed for in-depth history for the Atari 2600, 5200, Lynx, Jaguar, computer line and arcade coin-ops. The site takes a unique approach high on design that includes podcasts, videos, and much more presented in a unique format different than what you may expect from some place else.


And of course who could forget a brilliant new webpage to come for the "AtariAge Legend" Atari Joe? It'll be up shortly. That's a promise from the big guy himself.


As stated on the "About This Page" link, "Atari 7800.com has long been the definitive Atari 7800 resource since it went live on September 22, 2000. For too many years the 7800 has fallen between the cracks of gaming history and is far too often overlooked - or even ridiculed - simply for not being Nintendo. Yet the 7800 is probably the finest of Atari's 8-Bit era classic game systems. I wanted to create a fun unique place that would keep the 7800 torch burning. It is my greatest hope that this website will serve to inform and inspire others rediscovering one of the most unique, collectable pieces of gaming history."

Looks interesting...you're missing off a console though....the xegs (ok it's more of a computer then a console), you look pretty in pink though (the text colour you're using, you seem to have an affinity with it)

[Mili]

Well yes I do. And it's purple lol. I use it to show Lupus Awareness. My mother has it, and well purple really is my favorite colour anyways. And it is still being developed with the computer line.

[Atari Joe]

my favorite part of the pink text is the vulgar words.

Do you mean the purple/pink on the atari 7800.com website? Or the purple in Mili's text on her atariage posts? The text on the website is taken from the original branding and box art used for the warner 1984 release of the 7800 and the game cartridges. the site design is a modern twist on the originals.

xegs is in the xe line of computers and will be referenced in the page for the atari 8-bit line of computers. the site will always be dedicated to the 2600/7800 more than anything else and history too. and then there will be my world famous atari joe page when the new one is all done.

Looks great!

I would be happy to help in any way I could if you want it. I consider myself one of the former most experts on the Jaguar and Lynx and wrote the complete unreleased games/prototype guides on Jaguar Sector 2 for both machines. I also organize and host Jagfest UK the UK's biggest Atari show.

Of course I am a massive 7800 fan too with a complete commercial collection and a few home brews and prototypes too.

I have massive experience writing game reviews and articles in a web enviroment and when I have time I would be happy to submit reviews for all the Atari consoles (which could be linked into the rarity guides here) thats if you wish of course.

I am sure that anyone who has seen my work would vouch for it, of course you can also go look yourself

"If you don't play Atari, then fuck you!"...

So much for the "family" orientation of this site. And yet, something much more enlightening such as politics and religion cannot be discussed. That confirms it... Atari *IS* the only approved "religion" here, no matter how offensive contextually a conversation is maintained.



I love it. And if Mili truly is a "gal" (and not a transgendered he-she) prescribing "girl power", ummm.... good luck! lmao
