lapetino Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was wondering how U.S. buyers can get an sutogrsphed copy Will you be doing a book tour Great to hear you got it done! We are planning some events and some stops around the country to do signings, etc. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I'll be speaking at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo (http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/) the week the book is released, and we are working on some other things. I'll update you all as soon as things get more solid. And thanks for the kind words and support too. I appreciate our community here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Awesome! If you're in the NY-NJ-PA area I'll try to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyeball Mural Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks for the notes, you all! It means a lot, as this has been a huge labor of love. I'm excited to share the whole thing with you all in October! Tim, can you tell me who did the box art and instruction manual art for Berzerk on the 2600 VCS?

lapetino Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Tim, can you tell me who did the box art and instruction manual art for Berzerk on the 2600 VCS? Yes, it was Hiro Kimura who did both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eyeball Mural Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes, it was Hiro Kimura who did both. Thank you! I thought maybe I read about that on one of the sample pages from your book, but I couldn't track the info down. By the way, I'm buying the deluxe edition for myself and two regular editions as gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I'm buying the deluxe edition for myself and two regular editions as gifts. Don't feel bad. It's not easy to track down that info. The cover painting isn't signed or marked anywhere and the artist was never credited in print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapetino Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Galaxian isn't signed either. What name do you have down for Galaxian? Galaxian 2600 was drawn by Hiro Kimura, and the 5200 version was by James Kelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly signed the lower right hand corner of the 5200 Galaxian cover and you can't blame him for it. It is a stunning image and a fresh take to the by then redundant theme of "space invaders" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a stunning image and a fresh take to the by then redundant theme of "space invaders" Of course! Yes that's a great piece. Kelly is a good guy and a super talented artist. I'm looking forward to getting my book in all of your hands so everyone can share in the answers we've uncovered on "who did what." I almost wish we could do a live reading together so everyone could experience it at the same time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could do an unveiling of the the original paintings one at a time during one of the game conventions and stream it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be speaking and leading a panel at Portland Retro Gaming Expo the weekend of Oct 21-23: http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/panel_descriptions.phpThere should be at least one book signing event that weekend, and I hope to see some of you there. I also will be headlining at least a couple Chicago signings and events, as well as a swing in SF/LA, most likely. I'll get dates and all out there as soon as I know them. Thanks, all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achtbits Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Getting closer to October. Anyone else getting excited? I know I can't wait. I'd like to get excited, but I still can't preorder the Deluxe Edition anywhere in Germany. They do list in on amazon.de, but it's not orderable (https://www.amazon.de/Art-Atari-Robert-V-Conte/dp/1524102113/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473313889&sr=8-2&keywords=art+of+atari).

Yeah, sorry to say that I don't know where the Deluxe is being sold. I'll try and find out where it is being sold, but it's a limited printing, and I have a gut feeling it might only be in the US.
