Atari 2600 Anthology A Compendium of Atari 2600 VCS Games: Volume 1, Book 1, (Paperback)

The Atari 2600 is one of the greatest consoles of all time. First released in 1977, it took the world by storm and in turn created what we know as the highly-lucrative video game industry of today. From the iconic wood grain of the first model to the futuristic silver strip of the last, the VCS, as it was originally known, had the longest life of any video games console ever - an incredible 15 years! There really is no understating the impact of this console and the games that people played on it - this was the console that launched an entire industry! <p>In this book I take you through the life of the Atari 2600 Video Computer System looking at a varied cross section of the 700+ games available with a review and screenshot of each one. This is not a list of the best games, a list of the worst games or indeed a complete guide to what's available. This is a meandering journey through the Atari 2600 library from the earliest titles released back in 1977 to modern homebrews, hacks and even some unreleased prototypes. </p><p>A Compendium of Atari 2600 VCS Games: Volume 1 features reviews for over 300 games, developer interviews, fascinating facts and trivia, important history, technical details and personal stories that really help bring the book to life and so much more besides.</p>
