Welcome to AtariAlumni.com
This website represents a long term goal, to bring together information, websites, and the people that created the greatest computing and gaming empire ever!
As a pioneer myself, I was part of the engineering team that created the original Atari Home Computers – 400, 800, 1200-1200XL, and numerous peripheral devices; and later fulfilled a role as one of Atari’s senior research staff.
Please feel free to contribute your comments, recollections, and history of the real Atari!
Thanks
Dr. Tim McGuinness
I worked at Atari from Jan 1977 to June 1984. I worked originally in Corporate as an Executive Assistant and finished working in Coin-op as a Budget Analyst. I would love to be in touch with others who worked during the same time period.
