ZAP! THE RISE AND FALL OF ATARI

Scott Cohen



 

What happened to Atari? How did Atari start? Who founded Atari? Was the Atari 2600 the first home console? Who decided the Atari home version of Pac-Man was good enough to release?


These questions and many more are answered in ZAP! The Rise and Fall of Atari. Scott Cohen's exhaustive research has culminated into a thorough and enjoyable history of Atari, but the very foundations of the video game industry. His interviews with such notables as Nolan Bushnell and Ralph Baer provide an insider's look at the workings of a videogame company.


Roll through the pages to discover the origins of PONG, the effects of the Intellivision and Colecovision on Atari's dominance, and the results of the strenuous relationship between Warner and Atari.


Discover the answers to your questions about the company that provided video game entertainment to America in the 1970's and 1980's.
