(ATARI NEWSLINE. BREAKING NEWS.) Yes, it's true. You've probably heard the news already. You probably heard fans lamenting or greedy click-hungry content creators kicking the VCS when it was seemingly down, but as a content creator who's made well over 1k videos about the Atari VCS (in some form or fashion, here on Newsline or otherwise) I have alot to say about this. Both good and bad. Some great memories & friendships were made, and unfortunately most of those videos are long gone thanks to Google stealing my content earlier this year. This episode, I discuss the ups and downs, the lessons learned, the friendships forged & the great devs and games of the Atari VCS I have covered... and why I'm hopeful for it's future.
