I love this book!

I love this book! I was born in 1976 and had the awesome fortune of being a kid in the 80s at the height of Atari fame. This book brought back so many amazing memories. The artwork is amazing and the history is super interesting. Thx Atari for a lifetime of fun and adventure! I can't express how you have enriched not only my childhood but my adulthood as well. Atari is legendary!

What a blast from the past

From the first moment I opened the cover I could see this book was something special. It’s more than just a book of game screen captures… it’s narratives and insights about the company that invented the game console industry…. Totally worth reading and sharing with kids and grandkids.
