Product Review

The Atari 2600 Encyclopedia Volume 1 covers a quarter of the US releases in great detail. Every game gets the attention it deserves, with scans, screenshots, as well as a lengthy writeup. Each writeup is done in a casual, reader friendly tone that both informs and entertains. The Atari 2600 is the system that gave a lot of us our introduction to video games, and this book aims to help preserve the memory of the games that made this system what it was.
