ATARI ARCHIVE VOL1 77-78 SOFTCOVER - BÜCHER

Atari’s Video Computer System is one of the most significant game consoles in the history of
the medium  yet much of the story behind its creation  market impact  and games has been buried
in dusty memories  legal documents  and trade magazines. Historian Kevin Bunch has worked to
reconstruct and contextualize Atari’s early history  exploring the development of the console 
the background of every game released in its first two years  and the tales of its contemporary
competitors. The story of 1970s Atari is just a page away! Atari Archive Vol. 1 documents every
game released for the Atari 2600 during the console’s first two years on the market. The book
also highlights the Sears-exclusive Telegames versions of each game  along with any alternate
first-party reissues. Bunch interviews game designers  dives into newspaper and magazine
archives  and covers every other console released during the same period  with special
attention to the business and cultural factors that helped Atari outpace the competition. Atari
Archive Vol. 1 paints a vivid picture of how the 2600 library measured up to the competition
and helped propel home gaming into a billion-dollar industry.
