[PART 1] I recently discovered "Stella at 20" -- a series of videos recorded at a gathering of Atari alumni 20 years after the Atari VCS (2600) was released in 1977. It was so great to see all these people reliving the early years of Atari that I decided to make a top 10 list of things that the general public probably isn't aware of. Thanks to PCBWay for supporting this episode. https://pcbway.com
