As a kid I remember being captivated by these now classic examples of advertising and art emblazoned across the front of every cartridge, in the pages of my comic books and in glossy magazines. This big, beautiful book is the work of a fellow electronic golden age fan, who tracked down these somewhat unsung heroes, attributing artists to the images that they created such as Hiro Kimura (Pac Man) and even Ralph McQuarrie, best known perhaps for his work on Star Wars, Close Encounters and E.T. but shown here for his amazing work on Atari's Vanguard game. This is a great find for anyone with even a passing interest in video games, to see the massive amount of trailblazing done by the men and women of Atari in the analog age, far before Adobe Photoshop, Quark or even modern and bitmap typography. There are sketches, colour studies, and plenty of rough drafts alongside full colour splash pages plus informative artist spotlight interviews. A true collector's piece. Review: Just wonderful. - Beautiful illustrations and an accurate and deep understanding of the subject matter by the author combine to make a book that has far exceeded my expectations. The hundreds of illustrations are simply wonderful, but his is more than just an account of the 'art' of Atari - it's an insightful look into the makings and workings of what became a global phenomenon. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 625,386 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 374 in Digital Art 1,383 in 20th & 21st Century Art History | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (891) | | Dimensions | 25.4 x 2.54 x 27.94 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1524101036 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1524101039 | | Item weight | 1.9 kg | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Art Of Atari | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | 8 Nov. 2016 | | Publisher | Dynamite Entertainment | | Reading age | 13 - 16 years | ## Images ![Art of Atari - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81j+oL0lc2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legends of the industry *by T***Y on 27 December 2016* For nearly 45 years, Atari has been creating consoles and games to capture the public imagination, using original artwork and conceptual designs from talented individuals.

So early 80s (81-82) I would have been 9ish, my mate Jy Stedman had an ATARI 2600 - I had NEVER seen anything like it, too young to hit the arcades alone this box of treats served up everything. I lived in the broken glass/dog s**t streets of Luton (Chatham) JY lived in the lovely leafy lush area of Capstone and i would take on that 20-25 min walk just for some ATARI. I remember the covers SO well. and as the foreword beautifully explainid, perfectly , they were PART of the escapism, they played their part in us handing over our Paper round money and taking us 'away'. I remember the Parker brothers stuff especially well, Spiderman and the Star Wars Games, but Super Breakout (the space man) Missile Command, Combat, Night Driver, War Lords SO MANY that made sticking that cartridge in and flicking that switch massively exciting. NOW due to the hardware, the game rarely lived upto the cover but it didnt really matter !! as another look at that cover and we were seduced (...until Commodore 64 came along of course ;0) ) A wonderful wonderful wonderful book full of stories, decisions and the faces and names that brought these images and logo to life. ...and as a 48 yr old man, offered up 5th generation gaming , im a bit 'meh' ... I but i remember them ATARI games like they were yesterday.
