Silly Venture 2022 SE - reaching the sky with ATARI's 50th!
So, it's already 50! years since the date the ATARI company was originally incorporated! Let's celebrate it the right way! We will take you up towards the stars. Even shorter distance from the airport, easy access to the party place from the train, tram and bus stops!
JOIN US! Listen to the beat of the alive & kicking ATARI scene! Let the legend continue.
One of the SV participants, namely Thomas Niemann (a.k.a. Schlampf) from Germany, prepared a very nice teaser related to our event with the help of the Atari 1040 STe and the Photochrome tool 🙂 Anyway, see for yourself! The link to the YouTube video is below.

I encourage you to order SV2022 T-shirts! We are waiting for your completed forms until July 22 (Friday). There are 5 colours to choose from - next to them are the manufacturer's catalog numbers, do not be influenced by them, this information is for us only. T-shirts are of better quality than the last - higher grammage as well change of manufacturer. The logos from the sleeves "Atari50" and "Gdańsk" were transferred to the back because the designer (mOOnie / MSB) came to the conclusion that there were too many of them - hence a small design change.
Full list inscriptions on the back:
ATARI50
PONG
LYNX
FALCON030
ATARI ST
PORTFOLIO
JAGUAR
ATARI400
XL/XE
2600 VCS
GDAŃSK
PRICE: 21 EUR. The price has changed because the cost of the venue itself is very high. Thus, by purchasing a T-shirt, you support the budget of the event related to covering part of the costs. Thanks in advance!

There is a possibility of personal collection at the event, or shipping by mail. If someone has not received his previous T-shirt, he didn't make it to the party, etc. - don't worry and report it me this fact. Certainly nothing was lost 🙂 Sorry for the delays - new t-shirts will be shipped much faster!
Dear Silly Venture participants - Both those who will physically show up at the event, and those who observe us remotely - I have to show you something ... 🙂 But before I can write it down, a short introduction: Until the summer edition of Silly Venture 2022, to be held in the days from August 12 to August 14 remains (which is easy count) just over a month away! Almost all the details related to the event are already known and (I think I can risk such a statement) it has a good reputation among atarians all over the world. Managed to build up the brand I was working on, with few breaks since 2000!
Due to the fact that ATARI is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, an unprecedented thing happened. In a way it is a historical event and the culmination of my contribution to promoting ATARI brands in the world 🙂 I am happy like a kid! 😀
Well, the official patronage over the event was taken up by...
Yes, THIS IS NOT A JOKE! Atari has become the official patron of Silly Venture! Soon I will receive prizes for participants competitions - incl. in the form of VCS consoles! Speaking of competitions, all submitted and presented entries will be viewed by... new Atari management 🙂 This is what happened with previous SV entries, because I was asked to send links to the entries that were submitted for competitions over the years - from VCS to the XL/XE series, ST/STe, Lynx, Falcon, and ending with Jaguar! Including... DEMOS! 🙂 It is possible that something will attract the attention of Atari enough that it will want to start closer cooperation with an author sometime? 🙂
Could you imagine a better celebration of Atari's 50th anniversary? 🙂 And that's not all! There are also many attractions waiting for us at the party itself, including a long competition marathon - traditionally a lot of entries are expected from the VCS console to the XL/XE, ST/STe series, Lynx, Falcon and Jaguar! Entries are also expected from friendly "guest" platforms (C64 and others), which SV did not exclude and will not exclude 🙂
Thank you all! This is our joint work! 🙂
At this point, I would like to mention one of the participants of the SV, who supports this year's SV in a special way - Thomas Niemann (a.k.a. Schlampf). It was he who made me believe that there is nothing impossible! Made me have a look at the entire legacy of SV from a different perspective and follow the blow - thank you for that, Thomas! <3 For your faith in SV and in me! 🙂
And finally, today we have an official video-invitation that encourages you to participate in both this year's SV2022 editions - summer and winter:
