Homebrew exhibition

Last year we brought a lot of original Atari stuff and had a small exhibition for homebrew hardware. This time we go full focus on all Atari homebrew. There will be lots of homebrew software and hardware to show and demonstrate.

Atari 400 - Atari 800 - Atari 1200XL - Atari 600XL - Atari 800XL - Atari 65XE - Atari 800XE - Atari 130XE - Atari XEGS - Atari VCS / 2600 - Atari 5200 - Atari 7800 - Atari Lynx - Atari Jaguar - Atari 1040 STE - Atari Falcon

Game competitions


Two-player Atari games are a lot of fun. What about four-players on one Atari at the same time? Multi-joy hardware allows you to play up to eight players simultaneously on one Atari 8-bit system!


And of course our Mr.Atari will be here to show his new game Defend Your Castle on the Atari 2600.

Little invaders

Our younger invaders can enjoy the various games too. And when they're not interested in playing games, just bring your perler beads or something else they enjoy.

Atari museum

Just like last year, there will be Atari systems all over the place! A whole range of Atari 8-bit models including the 800XL.
But also 16-bit systems like the 1040STE.
Information is shown at every system and our crew is always happy answer any questions and give more detailed information.

 Good morning,   <propaganda> The seventh (official) edition of our commodore club invasion was successful, we occupied the building in the early hours when none of the commodore members were present </propaganda> On Saturday morning at 8.30 we entered 'het Schuurtje' with a small reconnaissance crew to start the build up. As every year, we told everyone we would bring less stuff and - just like all previous years - we failed (some more than others), but I digress. Most of the buildup was done by the time the meeting officially started, however, we were still waiting for the rest of the troops that were being held up for various reasons. The theme for this year 'remakes and demakes' meant that we could sneak in other systems (as long as they would run Atari related games/software), so the vectrex with piTrex was showing off Atari Vector games like Battlezone. The stunt cycle proved to be very picky as to which TV system it would work on. Our 2600 consoles r...

Preparing for the 4th Invasion

Season greetings! The preparations for the 4th annual 'Atari Invasion' of the HCC Commodore Club meeting are in full swing. As we send out updates to the crew, the Invasion plans take shape: celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Atari 8-bit homecomputers will be our main focus. Without spoiling too much details, here are some of the ideas we have for the Invasion: The museum rack and display cabinet will be there as usual. We will take you on a trip through time, with our 'eXperience Locations'. We will have online, multi-platform, multi-user events. Not just the info-beamer screens will show moving pictures and information: our own E.R.I.C. - if time permits - will have a spot amongst Atari 8-bit home computers performing tricks they were never designed for. Ofcourse we will make sure that there is still plenty of space available to play games on Atari computers and emulators. Want to join in on the fun as part of the crew, let us known. If you just wa...

Atari Invasion 2k18 On February 17th, at approximately 8.45 the first invader arrived at ' het Trefpunt ' in Maarssen. He was soon joined by the other invaders and at 10.00 the buildup was well underway. By the time the general assembly of members of the HCC Commodore ig was finished, most of the gear was hooked up and the Invasion started. The museum rack was back again. This year we had it filled with our custom Atari homecomputer stands, one with XL computers, the other with XE machines. A light sixer with Quelle's Universum keyboard, a Lynx and 7800 on another shelve and finally an 800 and the Sears Tele-Games. Next to the museum our custom display case was filled with a broad range of home-brew items for the 2600, 7800 and 8bit range of Atari systems. We brought along some binders, books and magazines. The podcast station - an old tablet with the ' retro atari podcast ' app - was not used at all, unfortunately. Something we also didn't put to use wa...
