Setting up a high-score-enabled games FujiNet TNFS server on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu for the upcoming #AtariParty. Thanks to @tschak909.bsky.social for pointing me to the howto. Should be able to serve up games and display the current high score tables. #Atari #Fujinet

Finally got around to updating my Fujinet to v1.5.1. Playing a little poker with some bot friends and I got a nice straight! #Atari #FujiNet

The genius, story, and what happened to Chris. Plus, how to play his final "art" piece "game".

The new issue of Old School Gamer magazine, #48, landed in the mailbox today. I love the cover. Enjoy the Atari 8-bit Gaming article by me with some help from my friends. @rectapete.bsky.social @moorejh.bsky.social @jamielendino.com

First time I've seen an Atari product in an episode of Star Trek, including a big fat CX42 remote controlled joystick.

Reading the novelization of the movie "Wargames". When we first come across David Lightman, he is thinking about Atari's Star Raiders.

Clint stops by @billlange.bsky.social and my #AtariST exhibit at around the 25 minute and 55 minute marks if you'd like to see what we were sharing at the show.

It was nice meeting him.
New LGR travel vlog over on Blerbs!

This is the VCF East experience as it was for me in April 2025. Flying from NC to NJ, getting settled in, enjoying beachside pinball and InfoAge museums, lots of wandering the event itself, then flying back home and evaluating.

Coolest thing I've seen at Salute today: this minis version of the classic early-80s Atari arcade game Battlezone. Not the digital-to-tabletop adaptation I'd expected to find, but wow.

@paulrickards.bsky.social Heard you might be looking to borrow one of these …

I rreplaced the ailing 3 1/2 "A" floppy drive in my #Atari STe today with a NOS replacement from Best Electronics. The drive has been acting up for awhile. Tested it out by booting up a NOS copy of #Battleship that I picked up at #VCF East this past weekend.

Back from a whirlwind of a weekend. Thank you to all that stopped by my #PenPlotter exhibit table at #VCFEast this year. And a huge thank you to all that purchased plots and floppies at consignment.

If you got a plot or postcard, reply with a picture!
