Retro Rogue Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm working on the second edition of Business Is Fun, a book on the Alamogordo burial and dig, another one on Mattel Electronics and feature articles for several magazines. Plus the day job. So yes, been busy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If they leak an ETA, and miss the deadline, many fans will get butthurt. Better to just say "it's coming" and announce something when there's something to report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What Stardust said. I'm shooting for the Fall. There's a lot of additional research going on right now actually in relation to the very early days as we discover and vet more and more resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with being given something as rough as a three month period like Fall. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E.R.O. Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Are you going the Kickstarter route again? From the other thread I understand there were some "hiccups" for backers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the other thread I understand there were some "hiccups" for backers.Not sure about the KS backers, but those of us who preordered got ours about a month after the book was on sale at Amazon. I've got an extra copy to sell, if anybody's interested... Will be getting the 2nd edition, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayik Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Just finished the first book. While there are a lot of typos and some grammer errors, it was a very enjoyable book. Looking forward to this 2nd book (as well as the revised edition of the 1st book) Thank you for creating these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumerNivek Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for the update on the second edition! I am eagerly awaiting it, as I have yet to read the first edition of Business is Fun. I have some other books to keep me preoccupied for a bit while I await the new edition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariKid81 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 The Atari "Business is War" Cover is Excellent!! "Business is Fun", on the other hand, is waaay too busy. Keep it simple - you can't include everything and everyone and still convey a message. Follow the expression that good Graphic artists live by: "all display is no display". I would only include the following pics: Nolan Bushnell, A Warner Symbol with Steve Ross and Ray Kasar, the word "Pong", an Atari VCS with joystick and an Atari 800. Add a pic of 2600 Pac-man, And Star Raiders and an Asteroids Arcade machine. Place these images on top of a large somewhat faded Atari symbol. At one glance this will clearly convey what the book is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not a huge amount of confidence in a release anytime soon when you get this whilst going to the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHart Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Not a huge amount of confidence in a release anytime soon when you get this whilst going to the website. I've not had a problem with getting to their website at: http://ataribook.com/book/businessiswar/ But I see no updates; it seems dead as a door nail. Then I noticed that at http://ataribook.com/book/(which was for the Business is Fun book) or any other link from /businessiswar I get the same problem.

Andromeda Stardust Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 No progress for two years now... And I was really looking forward to reading about the 7800 and Tengen era. Am sad now. Gotta go play me some Tengen Tetris tonight to cheer me up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
