Atari parts and accessories store Best Electronics stands bravely defiant against the march of time and technology, continuing to serve this increasingly niche retro hardware market 41 years after it was set up. As well as supplying parts, it continues to source and make new parts, provide support, hints, and tips, and claims to have spent $100,000+ in engineering development. In contrast, the iconic and innovative Atari Corp. behind all the firm's home computers, and advanced consoles like the Lynx and Jaguar, went bankrupt in 1996, which is almost 30 years ago.

That's cool and all but I don't think there's a drug in existence which can make that webpage make sense. It's like an HTML-CSS-fever dream

Jesus fuck! That's got to be html2.0! But even back then we had framesets.

It even appears to have a (seemingly non functioning) visitor counter!
