Just pondering why AtariAge does not feature Atari 8-bit stuff? I see 2600,5200,Lynx, and Jaguar at the top. Im a huge fan of the Atari 800 and always looking to increase my game collection.

Everything Atari ever released has a forum here for it.

Don't you think he figured that part out since he posted in the 8-bit section?
I think he may be refering to something else possibly? I think he means along the very top of the page. There is not 8-bit section showing the games and hardware and giving a history. None of the computers are up there. I think it may just be a case of limited space and time getting it all together as it's a vast amount of info compared to the consoles. There are plenty of dedicated 8-bit sites out there though, and there's PLENTY of info to be learned just from participating in the forum here.

Yes, that is correct.

I was always curious of the reasons that Holme's pages were removed from his site (I suspected that it was a little bit of everything...including pressure). But IMO it's probably better not to ask. Getting all of that in here is a major undertaking in any case...and the Al's seem to always have their hands full with updating the forum software and planning con's. ;)

The Pitfall II cartridge label variation pictured on your page looks identical to the label on the H.E.S. Pitfall II cartridge that I purchased (with box) from an Australian seller on eBay a couple of years ago.
