bfollowell Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have all three of his Atari related books. So far, I've only read a few bits and piece of Breakout, but I'm looking forward to reading them all eventually. What I've read so far of Breakout I've thoroughly enjoyed.

+Philsan Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I enjoyed Breakout and more recently We Love Atari Volume 1 & 2 and Atari: Visual History of the Atari 8-bit computer. Obviously Atari Inc. Business is Fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Actually, I see Jamie has a fourth book out now, just not necessarily Atari related. Or at least, not just Atari. It's about coin-ops and the big crash and the comeback of coin-ops. It's a much bigger work and available in hardcover. I'll probably pick it up eventually as well.

SS Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Jamie is a really good guy. I have met him a couple of times now and have throughly enjoyed talking to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
