This was a good overview of the games and system.
and while it does not have all the Atari 2600 games it has some of the more importent ones aswell as some info about the developers and coders
would recommend

This book is exactly what it says, although written by a non American, I had to get used to some of the other systems mentioned in the book. It could have gone a lot deeper in listing games, but I understand the concept of the writer. A fun read.

Amazingly bad. Worst book I have ever read. Look your favorite titles up on Wikipedia. You will learn just as much, and be saved from incredibly poor grammar. I wish I could get my money back. I enjoyed ET for the 2600 more than this book.

This was a fun book to read. It was kind of short, but it covered the major games on the system. The author tends to focus on the best and the worst games. Anyone interested in video game history should pick this book up

This was not a bad book and it had some limited background info on the games. It primarily just had the game with a picture of the art work and maybe a screen shot or two. Then, would explain the game. I was hoping for a little more background on the game and maybe some explanations of easter eggs and such in the various games. The were some of this for the popukar games (Adventure, etc), but I was hoping for a ittle more for each game.
