This week I thought I'd give a quick shout out to the folks at Atari User Magazine, which bills itself as "the world's only Atari magazine." While I'm not quite sure that's true, Atari User is an enjoyable and lovingly-prepared published monthly online by Anglo Press, a team of bloggers from Germany.
Atari User is a revival of a newsgroup that was started by a group of Atari 8-bit users in the 1980s. Members later started a monthly newsletter, available on a floppy disk by subscription. Though this publication is now long gone, this new reincarnation explores the same themes as the former publication, and includes a wide variety of articles to satisfy every nerd's curiosity.
Each issue includes reviews of new homebrew titles, as well as profiles of systems, publishers, and other historical information from Atari's heyday. If you get excited by discussing the merits of PAL versus NTSC (if not, why are you reading this?), I highly recommend you head on over to Atari User's website; they certainly deserve a few of your bucks.
