Newsletters

Atari Coin Connection

Atari's newsletter for coin-op distributors and operators.

Atari Games / Atari Life

One of Atari's internal newsletters - this one is for the coin-op division post-Warner.

Atari News

Hard-to-find publication, made exclusively for Atari owners in France.

Atari Owners Club Bulletin / VCS Owners Club Bulletin

Another rare 'zine, this one for owners in England.  Starting with issue #21, the name was slightly changed to VCS Owners Club Bulletin

CompuClub / CompuClub News

A newsletter devoted to the Atari home computers.  It ran in the mid-80s, from 1983 to at least 1986.  They also also offered disk-based software much like Antic and A.N.A.L.O.G. magazines did.  The latest issue we have (Volume 3, Number 6) shows a slight name change, to CompuClub News.

Digital Press

DP's humble beginnings started in 1991 with Joe Santulli and Kevin Oleniacz creating this bi-monthly newsletter.  We're happy to say, it's still being published!  In 2004 a compilation CD was released containing PDFs of the first 50 issues (along with a few extras).  Dave Giarusso took over as editor for issues #50-#65.  Jeff Belmonte is currently the new editor, starting with ish #66.

The New Zork Times / The Status Line

Infocom's classic 'zine from the 80's.  When the New York Times newspaper cried foul over the name, it was briefly changed to "****" before being renamed The Status Line.

(The Gospel According to) St. Pong

Atari's first in-house newsletter, which truly captures the philosophy and culture of the company in the beginning, before corporate America took over.  Check out that original logo!
