History

Created in 1982, "Atari Age" was given to all 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 full catalog of Atari-related merchandise and paraphernalia.Citation

"Atari Age" ceased publication in 1984, after Warner Communications sold the consumer division of Atari to Jack Tramiel.
