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.

I'll post the email below for posterity, but essentially it indicated the hardships the company has gone through in the past 18 months and how they're essentially going to primarily focus on IP and publishing games, with the hope that they'll eventually be able to release the Amico console, which had its first of several launch dates back in October of 2020.
