Created in 1982,
Atari Age was given to Atari Club members as a perk for joining the club. Upon paying the US$1 club membership fee, the member would also receive a year's subscription to
Atari Age. The magazine regularly featured content related to all things Atari. This included coverage of Atari-related news, coverage of Atari-related events, exclusive looks at new products from Atari, technical articles, exclusive offers to Atari Club members and a catalog of Atari-related merchandise and paraphernalia. The first issue of the magazine was May/June 1982, with design director Tony Prizzi and Atari Club director Parker Jerrell.
Atari Age ceased publication in 1984, after
Warner Communications sold the consumer division of Atari to
Jack Tramiel, the founder of
Commodore International, who focused his efforts on the newly renamed Atari Corporation's personal computers in order to compete with his old company. ==References==
