Review: Atari 2600 Game Journals – Adventure, Asteroids, and Missile Command

February 25, 2018 Posted by Bill Loguidice Review No Comments

You can get these journals at Amazon, here. Although I only have the Asteroids journal, I can say that the fit and finish on these is excellent, with a nice glossy cover on thick stock and substantial writing pages. It’s definitely worth the modest asking price of around $10, despite the smaller size (roughly 6 x 5″) and minimal value-add of just a snippet from the Atari 2600 game’s manual in the middle of the journal.

 

Here’s a link to the book, Atari Flashback: The Essential Companion, mentioned in the video. It’s also around the same price as the journals.

Missile Command X RepliCade mini arcade cabinet by New Wave now available for pre-order

Oct 20, 2021

Officially licensed by Atari, New Wave is offering two fully playable, 1/6-scale versions of the classic game Missile Command. The Standard Edition nails the look of the iconic arcade game, while the special Field-Test Edition is a little-seen (and far flashier) version of the cabinet that Atari designed before mass-producing the game.
