This all started with me relearning my Atari roots — digging out the old hardware, brushing off some BASIC, and seeing what still worked. That turned into a newsletter, and the newsletter turned into a real passion for sharing what I learn as I go.

I’m John, the guy behind Atari Insights, a monthly newsletter for anyone who still loves these classic machines or is just curious about them. I cover programming tips, emulator tricks, lost gems from old newsletters, and even make the occasional attempt at restoring hardware that hasn't powered up in decades.

But more than anything, I have a passion for keeping this legacy alive for the next generation — not just as a nostalgic trip, but as a hands-on way to explore programming, creativity, and the roots of modern computing.

If you’ve ever typed 10 PRINT "HELLO" and smiled, you’re in the right place.

Supporting me here helps keep it all going — more tutorials, deeper dives, and a growing archive of knowledge for the Atari community.

Thanks for stopping by — and welcome aboard.
