Atari Safari

"Atari Safari" is an addendum to the Palma Sutra, the ancient vedic discourse on self-pleasure. An Atari Safari is when you climb inside an arcade-size video game and replace the joystick with your own and hope that the next player gets the high score.

Roger thought he was just playing Burgertime, but he was really on an Atari Safari.

more Atari

Used as an alternative to old school. Refers to old fashioned/retro methods, ways and style. Often a comparison with the trends and fashion of today.

In Cee Lo Green's song 'Fuck You':

Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there.
I guess he's an X-box and I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.

X-box refers to 'today's'/modern style, while more Atari refers to old fashioned/'yesterday's' style...

atari st

Computer system from 1980s and early 1990s. Marketed under the tag, "Power without the price", the Atari ST was an extremely good system - and affordable - for its time, but the damp squib that was the STE (like a standard ST but with a blitter chip which no sod used and and extra £50 on the price), followed by the destined-never-to-arrive Falcon (also from Atari) caused interest to lapse. That, and the fact that there was a bit of a lack of decent software for it - it lost huge swathes of market share to PCs.

If you still have nostalgia for this miseworthy computer system, visit www.atari.st.

pull an Atari

When every product of a brand is so bad you wish they would just burry all their devices in a desert field like Atari did in New Mexico in September 1983.

P1: fuck man (brand) is so shit, I wish they would just pull an Atari
P2: I agree, this (brand) is just terrible.

Atari Stigmata

Atari Stigmata (singular stigma) is a term used by members of the gaming faithful to describe the marks, sores, or sensations of pain in the hands from squeezing the life out of the non-ergonomic Atari game controller from the early 1980's.

I was playing Pac Man for hours, but I had to quit because of the excessive bleeding caused by my Atari Stigmata.
