Welcome to part 2 of the now 3 part episode covering the Atari 400 & 800 computers. This episode will cover Web sites, emulation, books, software, magazines, tech specs, and much more. I’m very happy to have pretty much the entire Atari 8-bit podcasting group as special guest hosts helping me cover these topics. This includes Wade from Inverse Atascii, Rob of Player/Missile, Jack of RCR, Kevin from Antic, and Brad from Antic. We also have memories from Bill of Antic. Enjoy!!
