Introduction
The Atari Times
is proud to offer books containing dozens of Atari articles each year! The
Atari Times Compendiums are collections of articles posted to the website
over the year with new articles that will be posted in the coming year.
All Atari Times books are spiral bound and look very much like a real
magazine. The books have a very nice COLOR
COVER
that is a glossy card-stock paper. The back is also the same card-stock paper to
create a complete book. The contents are black and white and are at least
90-100
pages each! The average EGM or GamePro magazine is more than 50% advertisements!
Not so with The Atari Times
books! They are packed to the brim with Atari goodness! Click the book for more
info and contents!
What happened to the 2003 Year End Issue?
It became the 2004 Compendium.
We decided it would be best if the books were released at the beginning of the
year instead of at the end. This change necessitated the name change from
2003 Year End to 2004 Compendium. Subsequent books will also be known
as the 200X Compendium.

surprised at how you added the stats of Top __ Favorite Games for ____ System

packed in a lot of stuff!" - Darryl Brundage
