ONCE UPON ATARI is an intimate view into the dramatic rise and fall of the early video game industry, and how it shaped the life of one of its key players. This book offers eye-opening details and insights, delivered in a creative style that mirrors the industry it reveals. An innovative work from one of the industry’s original innovators. This is a detailed look behind the scenes of the early days of video games, with particular attention to the causative factors leading up to the video game crash of the early 1980s. It is also the journey of one industry pioneer, and how his experience creating some of the world’s most noted pieces of interactive entertainment reverberates throughout his life. It is a compelling tale of innocence, hubris, joy, greed, devastation and ultimately redemption, told with a fresh voice and unorthodox style.
