Atari should be celebrated and remembered just as much as any other trailblazing tech company of our time.
Journey through the unique history of Atari and discover its products, as we chart its way through the aftermath of the video gaming crash, the heyday of the home computer and Atari's fight to survive.

This is the second volume in the "I Love Atari" series and covers the end of the 8-bit period of Atari and into the 16-bit, console and ultimate demise of the company.
Like the first book, this volume contains the most beautiful photographs and images from Atari's history, including internal memos, advertisements, flyers and much more. It really is a love letter to all things Atari!
Despite being an Atari geek and student of the companies history, I found myself being surprised to learn new things about the company - including many pieces of hardware I didn't know existed.
If you remember Atari fondly, then this book will be a nostalgic and fun trip for you.
If you're an Atari geek, like me, then this book is a must read. It's just amazing!
