ON THE BLOG THIS WEEK! An unaired interview from 1980 with Atari's Joe Robbins! arcadeblogger.com/2026/03/02/an-… #atari #arcade #retrogaming

Its been a while, but check out this unseen Footage of @atari Battlezone Cabinet Production! arcadeblogger.com/2026/02/02/uns… #RETROGAMING #atari #arcade

This is an absolutely wonderful discussion interview, revealing a fascinating start of an early UK presence for Atari Arcade games, before the start of golden age. The interview also beautifully descends into total chaos at the end, don’t miss this one, it’s fantastic.

Had a great day yesterday at @VisitTheCave to hear an amazing talk on #arcade raids by @ArcadeBlogger & Olly (Alpha One)! Thanks for sharing the stories on interesting raids done over the last 20 years accross the Uk!

@GregRenoff I was there. The feeling was it was either going to be a monumental shitshow, or something decent. Glad to say it was the latter. I thought he was phenomenal. The addition of those guys singing backing vocals was a nice touch.

This 55-yr-old VH fan is glad he lived long enough to see this footage. Serious Elvis in Vegas energy from DLR here. Very fun to watch and he looks like he’s enjoying himself immensely.

@GregRenoff This is great thanks @GregRenoff 👍

@atari A little bit of this:

What is everyone doing this weekend? 👀

@GregRenoff Kirk Hammett tapes his picking hand to avoid injury.

I’ve got a splinter in my finger, which got me thinking, prompting this 🧵 on four guitarists who suffered ✋ injuries that shaped the way they played. 1/6
