Earlier this month, we were excited about the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe (RCTAD). At the time when I previously covered the release, I was unaware that the newly released game was a remastering and enhancement of the RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures released in 2018. Despite finding out it was a remastering, I was still eager to jump into the Deluxe Edition and hopefully get ...[Read More]

The Atari VCS team officially added another big name today, with the announcement that Rob Wyatt and his company, Tin Giant, are now on board. Rob is best known as the Architect behind the original Microsoft Xbox console, and has had his hand in a variety of other developments over the years.
It looks like initial sales of Atari’s new VCS console are going well. With more than a week remaining in the Indiegogo campaign, the wood-paneled Collector’s Edition has sold out, leaving the modern-styled Onyx as the only choice for fans who’ve waited to jump into the mix.

Sit right down and let me tell you a tale. This is a tale of prophecy, destiny, and fate. One week before our horrendously awful drive down to E3, which is a story for another time, we recorded a pre-E3 podcast with our good friends Chris and Kelly.
