Taking its name from the 1982–84 Atari Age magazine, the site also houses a comprehensive, searchable database of Atari video games, including manuals, packaging art, estimated rarity, screenshots, reviews, and other details, as well as an Atari Age magazine archive. The site is also home to a community of homebrew developers for Atari and other classic video game systems.[2] Some of the homebrew games originally published by AtariAge have been included in official video game compilations such as Activision Anthology.[3]

gollark: I'm not sure these would actually make sense anywhere outside esolangs since they rely heavily on a bunch of in-jokes.
gollark: I would add this to my memes folder but it is beyond the ability of my mind to pick a filename for it.
