(Episode 486) ATARI NEWSLINE. BREAKING NEWS. // On this episode of Atari Newsline, I discuss the new Atari x Activision set announcements and drops. From $39 to $1.3K, is it worth it? I discuss why I'm revising my initial opinions about these sets. Is it a good deal? Who are these for? It aims to be directed at us hardcore Atari gamers... but do hardcore gamers who have these CIB need these? Plus, we're getting close to 500 episodes! I discuss my plans going forward over the next 14 episodes of Newsline, including replaying some old intros and discussing upcoming changes, including upcoming contests (stay tuned til the very very end for details), a very special guest ...and more! Stay tuned & follow the clues!

(episode 478) ATARI NEWSLINE. BREAKING NEWS. // On this Atari Newsline NIGHT OWL UPDATE, some cool news! 'Centipede Swarm' was announced over the past couple days & released today on July 8, 2026. It's not midnight (yet) when uploading this, and I wanted to get this news out and share the fun, so this is my first NIGHT OWL update! This new game is a mobile game on Amazon Luna, what is Amazon Luna, you ask? We go over that, too. Don't miss the Centipede goodness. (And please excuse my choppy gameplay video. Up here in the mountains, we are having huge wind storms so I am doing the best I can with spotty wifi. Enjoy!)
