AtariAge - Premier Issue - May/June 1982

(Atari)

AtariAge Magazine was a publication that specifically printed for members of the Atari Club and featured information and articles on the Atari game consoles like the Atari 2600. It held a ton of information, tips and tricks, game previews and other useful information for Atari owners.

The premier issue featured a funny satire interview with Pac-Man and news about a "New Advanced Home Game System", the Atari 5200... but my favorite was the cartridge checklist. It was funny how at that time, it only took up about 1/3 of a page.

Unfortunately AtariAge does not have very many issues because it came out late in the video game boom just in time for the crash. So there were only 11 issues before it was discontinued in April of 1984.

Basic information for the premier issue of AtariAge is listed below.
