Restoration of a Bucket full of 1977 Atari VCS Games Console
? Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needs! ? The Atari 2600, originally known as the Atari VCS is an iconic video games console and always deserved to be restored when one comes to RMC. Today we have a bucket of Atari VCS which needs to be cleaned, restored, tested and repaired. We learn how to clean metal switches, how to restore black plastics and how to restore paint from the bezel which is so often missing. We also throw in some mods and take it for a test drive.

The Soviet Union, it's neighbours and friends, and Communist Russia has a fascinating computer history which is largely unreported in the West. I'd like to explore a facet of that history today in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum clones and the impact they had.

Today we have an incredibly interesting chat with Mark Ferrari, an artist who stumbled into the world of video games and did a phenominal job of bringing us scenes in Lucasfilm games such as Loom and Monkey Island. Mark gives us an insight into his life, Lucasfilm and the games industry and it's attitudes towards pixel art over the decades.
