Atari Connection was a magazine for owners of Atari 8-bit computers published by Atari, Inc.'s Computer Division.[1] Editions were quarterly from the spring of 1981 to the summer of 1984 when the company was sold to Jack Tramiel. There was also a one-off "Welcome Edition" a few pages long prior to the spring 1981 edition. Including the Welcome, a total of 15 editions were produced.
The magazine contained a mixture of news, generally fawning software and book reviews, and technical articles at a mixture of skill levels. One recurring feature was "Find the Bug" contest, which generally resulted in a winner receiving a game cartridge.
A number of well-known authors submitted articles to the magazine, including Tom Hudson.
