What will you do tomorrow to celebrate Atari’s 53rd birthday, being founded on June 27th, 1972? I plan on playing some good old fashioned Pong! Share your plans below! cc: Atari X

Patrick 'PatManQC' sadly passed away. He was SO CLOSE to 100k, if you could click and sub maybe they can get him to 100k his family can get that play button in memory. RT youtube.com/watch?v=N1XYas…

If you've never checked out the Sega Saturn -- give it a try!. I'm playing it's library for the first time ever lately, and I think it's my favorite 5th gen console now.. (and I love the Jaguar..). It feels like a true next-gen Genesis/Megadrive..

July 20th is a special date for Space fans. In 1969 Man first planted his footprint on the moon and in 1965 on this date was my first day of planting my 🍑 in the Captain’s Chair on the bridge of Star Trek. 😝 It was the second day of filming of the pilot episode. 🚀👨‍🚀🌖

Intel's first graphics chip dates back to about 1978 -- the Intel 8244 (NTSC) and 8245 (PAL) chips. Before the 8088 was released.. (but not 8086) They were custom ICs for the Maganox Odyssey, providing Sprite acceleration, graphics output, and audio (!) functions too.

How the Atari ST was born, from an Atari OS software engineer's perspective: atari-wiki.com/index.php?titl… [Jack Tramiel] “You should be very happy; I am paying your salary. I am the one who is unhappy. The software is late. Why is it so late?” Young and idealistic, I piped up:

Shout out below to an awesome Indie Dev - working on Planetbase 2. The first game was a lot of fun and IMO had some good replayability too.

This is a good video for learning more about Intel’s fifth CEO, Paul Otellini (2005–2013), and hearing some of his thoughts. Many of them are very relevant to the Intel we see today. semiwiki.com/forum/threads/… #Intel
