(episode 371) ATARI NEWSLINE. BREAKING NEWS. // On this #AtariNewsline #specialedition, I attempt to follow a long rabbit trail about a very specific #launchday edition of the #AtariVCS #console! (The Atari VCS 800, to be precise, which was sold at #WalMart on preorder.) The cool thing about this console is that it was called the #CarbonGold #Kevlar #Edition! And it was unlike anything I've ever seen, with golden pixels along the front. Where did the rabbit hole lead me? To an answer! I think! Plus: Your #AtariPlus #Console #PollResults!
