2024 HD Special Edition for Father's Day.
My hard drive crashed last year so I could never finish this the way I wanted it. This version has been reconstructed from an earlier version and is closer to my original intentions.

Kevin Cody at the Easy Reader surprised me this week and printed one of my submissions from a long time ago. This one is about how "Wilderness Park" fit into the overall landscape of our Gen-X, Cold War world. @Atari Missile command figures prominently.

Week #4 in a row of The Overscan!
This week we have news, feedback, a bit about Dino Dini and then we jump into a discussion of AT Speed, a device that literally turned our Atari ST into a 286 PC.

I went into “I Saw The TV Glow” knowing nothing and found it pretty brilliant. It’s very much shot through a Millennial lens, which detracted nothing for me, and actually heightened the experience.

We continue to look at games that might be "Worse Than E.T.?" for the Atari 2600. This time, it's "Mr. Postman" from Bit Corp (and bunch of other Bit Corp games too).

A big miss in my book especially given the history of the Atari 400. Hopefully it will be rectified.

I’m petty sure I bought it for my 520 ST in the fall of 1987, so that sounds right. It was an amazing game

It will also help make awful garbage no one wants to play. Gamers will seek out non AI projects. AI will then dominate the casual space.

My oldest kid turned 18 yesterday, which means after 26 years I'm now not the father of any "non-adults". Last night I had dream about being stuck on rocky beach with high-tide rolling-in and no-way out. I'm like "really brain, THIS cliche?" Let mind f*ck begin.

I don't spend much time thinking about Zack Snyder or his movies, I'm sure most of them are fine, but Rebel Moon is not good. It feels like a rip-off of "Battle Beyond the Stars" mixed with the confusing production design of "John Carter".

Come discover what it was like to be a kid in 1977 when Star Wars was out, but there were no Star Wars toys, LEGO existed, if you could find it, and the Atari VCS was not really "a thing yet".

Yes, it happens so often. This time they created a statistical model that can replicate things really well, but that’s pretty much it
