Yes, but that one is coming from more of the arcade/coin-op perspective, covering the transition of the industry from EM to video. It'll cover from the mid-60's through to '84.
I'm replying to stuff 23 pages behind this so apologies for the time-shifts. I refuse to skip ahead since this is a gold mine of info to the extent that it's absorbing the whole of my lunch hour on an otherwise busy monday.
Do you have any info in any of these tomes on the 3rd party titles for the 2600 and how these came about (apart from the usual ex-atarians leave and start Activision, Imagic etc)? I distinctly recall David Crane being interviewed on Tech TV (when he was pushing skyworks) and specifically mentioned - to the host's (Leo Laporte) surprise - that they (Activision) paid Atari Inc., licensing royalties as part of their settlements from all the lawsuits they incurred. It was something that I've found NO-ONE to confirm, not even Steve Kent - who I mentioned all of the above during a lunch I had with him in 2002 (want to talk to an author, pay for a lunch - you'll be surprised how often that works).
I mention this seemingly trivial bit of off-the-cuff, because it seems to point a finger at the explosion of 3rd party games and Atari's rise in income around the same time (as well as the motivator for the flood of bad games in the face of rising royalty checks). Crane was specifically talking about Activision and Atari - not the later work with Nintendo.
Uncover anything along these lines? If not - you might want to ping Mr. Crane - might make for an interesting inclusion.
