We threw together our 2005 Atari party kind of suddenly, and with less fanfare than in previous years, or so I tell myself. It looks as though the turnout was lower than in previous years, and it might have been, although I remember more people than depicted here. As it stands, I spent more time playing and socializing than photographing, so we get a bunch of setup shots and then a couple action shots late in the evening.<\/p>\n

Also note that these images represent shocking, previously unseen footage<\/em> since I didn’t put them on my blog at the time. This writeup stems from 2010 when I ported the pages from my previous host.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the Atari Party!<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

The living room has its normal arrays of Ataris, Nintendo, and tennis\/hockey\/handball.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

In my office, I’ve deployed a Commodore 64. That year, we not only showcased Ataris, but other machines from my collection.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Also in my office, next to the Trivia Whiz, a TI-99-4\/A.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

In the dining room, plenty of beer and cheap, cheap wine. Is that Mad Dog 20\/20? Yes, it is! Boone’s Farm Flavored Wine Product? Nothing but the best for my friends!<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Snax in the kitchen. Is that a Purina dog bone with snacks in it? Yes, it is! Later, when I had to go downtown to work, I filled the same dog bone with jerky and snacked from that. The co-workers left it alone.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Karaoke in the den, again. You’ve probably seen something like this before.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

In Heather’s office, a Sega Genesis.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Gaming commences! Hans, Willr, and Derek play.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Mike reads a book, stocking up on trivia.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Who the heck is this guy? He likes Thunder Blade, anyway.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Pixie, El Guapo, Heather, Shaun, and Merk look on as someone sings.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

The same people look on again, or still. Jennifer and Kristen vie for fame or at least a turn.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

I guess Kristen has outvied Jennifer here.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Late in the party, QA drinks Mad Dog and raises its voice with the developers.<\/p>\n

As I said, not a lot of pix from this one. It turned out to be our last one in the first decade of the 21st century and we had children next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
