The Atari has come to Vimm's Lair! Several new Vaults are now open including Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, and Lynx, complete with box art and screen shots. The Manual Project once had Atari manuals but most were lost years ago in a disk crash and have now been restored. Over in the Xbox Vault the .xiso refresh is complete, and the PlayStation 2 Vault has been updated with every complete fan translation. The PlayStation 3 Vault is nearly complete as well, now at 93% and climbing.
