Pixelboy Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320979414552 The auction description pretty much says it all. The most interesting part: Uston went on to write several more books about video games and home computers during the 1980s. He also licensed his name to Coleco for the ColecoVision game, Ken Uston’s Blackjack/Poker. In 1983, Screenplay published software titled Ken Uston’s Profe$$ional Blackjack for the Apple II series, Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, and IBM PC to assist in the learning and practice of Uston’s relatively complex, yet highly accurate card-counting techniques. Interesting piece of trivia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misspent_youth Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Funny how, even in the age of instant knowledge at our fingertips, there are still little bits of trivia that make you say 'Oh yeah! I always wondered about that!" Thanks for pointing us to the little bio of Ken Uston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 This is when you gave me that bunch of Adam books..... Remenber? Ah, okay, if you say so. I didn't really read most of those books, I just kept them for "future endeavours". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
