Justin Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I'm glad they chose to use Missile Command as the most prominent artwork on the cover. I just shot that in high resolution for a new slide on the home page. It's iconic of Atari's artwork from that era StormSurge, greenween, RickR and 2 others 5 Quote

Atari Adventure Square Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 This is terrific! The box art was a portal to the imagination, as much a part of the gameplay experience as any elements. Looking forward to it. greenween and StormSurge 2 Quote

The Professor Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 What is the difference going to be, other than the cover, between the regular book in the Deluxe Edition? Quote
Arenafoot Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 What is the difference going to be, other than the cover, between the regular book in the Deluxe Edition? Probably nothing but the cover.

The Professor Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 That's a $50 difference for the cover. Is there more in there? Quote

The Professor Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 The Deluxe Edition features: See, now that sounds great! Quote
Ballblaɀer Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 I really look forward to seeing what the Spohn print looks like (and what its dimensions are). And I'll use the Steam key for sure. That said, I can totally understand balking at the Deluxe price. I think the $99 list price is high, but at $74 or less I'm in. I'll be glad to have the leather-bound cover, for as much as I plan to refer to the book and flip through it. Justin and Lost Dragon 2 Quote
AlamoAtari Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 For anyone still on the fence, here is a review I saw on YouTube. John Riggs don't know much about Atari, more of a Nintendo guy, but he has the book and flips through it. Ballblaɀer and Justin 2 Quote
Arenafoot Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Are people paying $50, $75, $99 for this book?????
