Art of Atari is a great book for getting into this. I love the way the marketers and the artists had to spin up these great stories and art to get people interested in the rudimentary graphics and gameplay that were actually on the screen.

I’m Jason Adam, the book designer who designed Art of Atari! It’s true - the graphics were so basic back then that the art had to do all the heavy lifting.

That's awesome! Thanks for the great work that you (and Tim) did on that book. It's one of my fave gaming books.
