• From the EditorWelcome to the new Atari Club and the new Actari Age magazine! The hot-off-the-presses publication you are holding is Atari's own official magazine for home video game fans. It's more than something to read -- it's going to make it more fun to own an Atari Video Computer System.
• Page 4This is the very first issue of ATARI AGE as a full-color, bimonthly magazine. It's also the beginning of a new age for THE ATARI CLUB. As the official organization for Atari home video game players, THE ATARI CLUB has all kinds of special plans for its members. After all, the Atari phenomenon begins with the group of creative folks in Sunnyvale, California, but it's more than that. The heart of the Atari excitement is us -- the fans who enjoy nothing better than wrapping our fingers around a joystick or paddle controller and driving our video cars at record speeds, saving planets from deadly missile attack, dribbling, kicking, batting, bowling, and swinging our way through the sports cartridges and, of course. chomping an energy dot every once in a while.

Hoping to learn more about the house and its occupants, he asked the landlady if he could see the avail- able rooms. She agreed, and showed him to a comfortable apartment. nicely furnished, with many attrac- tive objects decorating it. When he asked about these decorations, the landlady said they belonged to the previous tenant. When asked why they had been left behind, she hesitated, then admit- ted that the tenant had been away on vacation in Monte Carlo.

Now for the second step, move the secret dot into the "secret panel" room How do you get there? If you come out of the yellow castle down to the main path and go nght, keep going to the night until you crash into a thin black wall You've actu- ally crashed into the secret panel that lets you into the secret room.
