Während seiner frühen Laufbahn als führendes Unternehmen der Videospielindustrie sorgte Atari für einen tiefgreifenden Wandel in einem noch sehr jungen, sich noch entwickelnden Sektor. Das VCS/2600-System von Atari war nicht nur das erste Spielgerät, das die Wohnzimmer wirklich beherrschte, sondern auch der Schauplatz für einige der kultigsten Titel aller Zeiten, darunter Asteroids, Space Invaders, Pac-Man Defender, Joust, Pitfall, River Raid und viele, viele mehr.

In seiner Blütezeit wurde der Name Atari zum Synonym für Videospiele, so wie einige Jahre später der Name Nintendo, aber das Unternehmen - und die Branche - stürzten genauso schnell ab, dank des berüchtigten nordamerikanischen Videospiel-Crashs von 1983. Trotz dieses katastrophalen Ereignisses ließ sich Atari nicht unterkriegen und brachte im folgenden Jahr die leistungsstarke 7800-Konsole auf den Markt - ein Gerät, das dem Unternehmen leicht wieder zu altem Ruhm hätte verhelfen können, wenn seine Markteinführung 1984 wie geplant verlaufen wäre.

Dieses Buch beschreibt die Höhen und Tiefen einer wahrhaft turbulenten Periode in der Geschichte der Videospiele, einer Ära, die den Grundstein für das legte, was heute zu einer der weltweit beliebtesten Formen der Unterhaltung geworden ist.

Atari 2600/7800: ein visuelles Kompendium zeigt die besten Pixel-Kunstwerke, Cover Art und Produktdesigns für jedes System. Auf 528 Seiten werden über 200 Spieleklassiker vorgestellt, mit Artikeln über die führenden Drittentwickler, Interviews mit Schlüsselfiguren der Branche und Beiträgen zu Themen wie Cover Art, Prototypen und Homebrew-Versionen.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
