Some of you may know about the compilation I create from The Atari Times website at the end of the past two years. It was intended to be a printed archive of material that had appeared on the site over that year plus some new material that would appear in the coming year.

The problem with calling it the "200x Year End Issue" is that within one month, it becomes outdated, namewise. The 2002 YEI was brand-new in January of 2003, but it sounded out of date already.

So, I've decided to release it in January instead. That necessitates the renaming of the book to something else, because it won't be released at the end of the year anymore. Not only that, but I hope to have more new articles than ever before with the intent that these will appear on the site over time giving a reader a "pre-view" of the upcoming articles.

Anyway, long story short... What should I rename it to now that it will be released in January? Suggestions welcome!

1. "Atari Forever -- TAT 2004" (covering all temporal bases)

2. "TAT: This Magazine Wants to Play!" (Hmm...maybe not.)

3. "TAT Now! 2003-2004"

4. "TAT Compendium 2004"

5. "TAT 2004 Remix"

6. "TAT Reloaded"
Cover suggestion: get a picture of Carrie-Ann Moss, nude, with Lynxes (with "Lynx Reloaded" on it, of course), covering "sensitive" anatomical parts. :wink:

"Steal this Compilation"

I was thinking "2003-4 Anthology" but that's becoming an overused word these days what with all the new video game collections.

I do like the name "Compendium" but it's kinda long and a bit of a tongue twister!

It was started by:

Steal this Book
(By Abbie Hoffman)

then came...

Steal this Movie
(About Abbie Hoffman)

Now it's kind of a joke to name something "Steal this xxxx"

There is also a programming book called "Steal this code !".

Yup, search on "Steal this" and have fun.

Hmm... Never heard of it before. Still, I think it needs something more descriptive in terms of it being a compilation. I just don't care for that word too much...

how about The best of Atari Times (or The best of Times)
just my two cents.

That sounds pretty good. Although, it might work better as the sub-title.

Big Cats, Big Bevels and Big Numbers, oh my!

seeing as big cats covers lynx and jag, numbers being the 2600 5200 and 7800. bevels being the arcade cabs. you said you liked dans idea as a subtitle, so there ya go!
