    I am halfway through the book now. What I have noticed in the descriptions and the personal opinions by the author about the games is - the lack of enthusiasm for the Atari 2600. Most of the games are described as "fair" or even bad, and the author finds way more downsides than upsides on any game, pokes fun at the games, etc. Maybe there are really no good games in the beginning of the alphabet, and I have to accept that this is the opinion of the author. But for me it still puts into question why the author starts such a big project (four books!) about a video game system which games library he doesn't like. At least for me it seems so at the moment ...

    Got the book for Christmas. I wasn't love on first sight, but well, on second sight. I like the idea of presenting all the (US) games for the VCS in a row of books. First I didn't like the matte paper. Black appears in grey in the book - this is still an issue, but I don't have a problem with the matte paper anymore. The layout meets not really my taste, but I got used to it too. Allthough one can find all the info on the internet too (AA, AM, etc.), I would still recommend the book to Atari collectors and fans, and will most probably buy also Volume 2.

     

    P.S.: I didn't read the whole thread here, so my question: Is there any way to check if I have the initial or the latest version of the book?
