It was very kind of you to mention the Classic-Gaming Bookcast, and to include one of the links in your show notes. I really appreciate that -- and I'm glad you've enjoyed the book! Congratulations on getting so many great interviews, and creating such a great podcast.
Thanks again!

Brad,
To your challenge to listeners about find Atari Desktop wallpaper.
I had a similar idea a couple years ago. I wanted to have that good original large black box cover art as a wallpaper.
Here is a link on AA I started for those scans.

Hope this helps.
The podcast is always getting better and better. Keep up the good fun work!!!
