"ATARI is one of the most recognized names in the world. Since its formation in 1972, the company pioneered hundreds of iconic titles including Asteroids, Centipede and Missile Command. In addition to hundreds of games created for arcades, home video systems, and computers, original artwork was specially commissioned to enhance the Atari experience, further enticing children and adults to embrace and enjoy the new era of electronic entertainment. ART OF ATARI is the first official collection of such artwork. Sourced from museums and private collections worldwide, this book spans over 40 years of the company's unique illustrations used in packaging, advertisements, catalogs, and more!,"--Amazon.com.

Beautiful submitted by Meginator on August 31, 2017, 1:49pm This is a beautiful coffee table book with some gorgeous reproductions of classic Atari artwork and interesting biographical information about the designers. I applaud the decision to highlight artists and aspects of video game production that are often relegated to the background. This book has a lot of crossover appeal as well, beyond a core audience of Atari fans and gamers, and is worth looking at for its insights into graphic design as well as video game history.
