+Random Terrain Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 As I type this, it's August 14, 2023 and I'm done with the latest update to my Atari 2600 video game release date pages. I spent the last 2 or 3 months searching for more ads, updating the links to my Newspapers.com clippings to include the prices when available, and updating my clippings at Newspapers.com to have a more consistent look. Spoiler [I signed up for the most expensive subscription option at Newspapers.com in November of 2020 so I could finally look up games for myself.] Here's an example image that shows the new look for the newspaper links: Links to the Atari 2600 video game release date pages: 19771978197919801981198219831984198519861987198819891991IndexCompany List Activision List 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your website is great...obviously a lot of hard work went into that research and making all those links. A real trip down memory lane. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
