Alien Brigade Ad Scan

This was the "retro scan of the week" over on vintagecomputing.com. The ad is from the Atari 7800 game Alien Brigade that came out in 1990 at the end of the 7800's run. The alien infested solider in the ad looks very much like a baboon wearing a helmet. From the bottom of the ad: "An Alien is a wonderful thing to Waste".

Atari 2600 S Video Mod

Sometimes the older gaming consoles don't mesh to well with the newer tvs, resulting in a picture that's less than satisfactory.  Atari's 2600's are no exception. Ben Heckendorn has recently posted about trying out the Atari AV mod from www.longhornengineer.com. Besides higher video quality you also get a stereo mod in the board to split the audio into left and right channels. Detailed instructions are included so all you need is an Atari and a bit of soldering skill and you should be able to enjoy some sharp retro graphics.
