Katsu Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just uploaded up my book review for Tim Lapentino's "Art of Atari" to YouTube. I highly recommend this book! It's pretty inexpensive and covers a lot more that just the artwork! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq0HQUBQUa0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I saw this in a comics/gaming shop amd showed it to my gf as a hint for Christmas. She didn't catch the hint, so I'll probably have to go buy my own. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsu Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I saw this in a comics/gaming shop amd showed it to my gf as a hint for Christmas. She didn't catch the hint, so I'll probably have to go buy my own. lol Tha'ts OK, I had specifically told my wife and kids about the Atari Flashback games for PS4, and I didn't get them either. To their credit, the kids reminded their mom, but my wife didn't follow through. It's a great book. Check out Amazon for it though. They have it at a great price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't catch the hint, so I'll probably have to go buy my own. lol Thankfully, my wife did and the book managed to exceed my high expectations. It's worth owning for the art, it's worth owning for all the hardware porn, it's worth it just for the interviews and write-ups. I wish every console received a book like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) This should be merged with the thread under Atari 2600 perhaps? Anyway, nice review, watched it all the way through. Edited January 4, 2017 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro STrife Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks for sharing this. Since first learning of this book months back, the title has misled me to believe that it was mostly a collection of photographs, just showing off artwork from Atari boxes, ads, etc. Glad to see that it's much more. I'll have to pick up a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
