Atari: Kunst und Design der Videospiele presents nearly 400 games ranging from Adventure to Yar's Revenge, around 70 consoles, computers, and accessories, and names over 300 Atari creatives, product designers, and programmers. Many of them speak in their own words from the Sturm und Drang period, reports, and memories from Silicon Valley.
For the German edition, new chapters on arcade and home development, Atarisoft, Tengen, and Lucasfilm, as well as chronological tables and an overview of all Atari titles and brands, the book provides the most complete retrospective of video game art and game graphics of the 1970s and 1980s and deep insight into the design world of that time. For fans and connoisseurs, collectors and beginners alike, ATARI: ART AND DESIGN celebrates the pioneering phase and golden age of Atari as an era that has passed but will never be forgotten.

With playful technology, Atari revolutionized pop culture, design, and entertainment 50 years ago and laid the foundation for the billion-dollar electronic games business. The company invented arcade hits such as Asteroids, Centipede, and Missile Command, built home computers and TV consoles, and sparked a new passion around the globe—video game fever!
IT geniuses created the first television games, and talented artists, product designers, and cover designers at Atari bridged the gap between the early, primitive pixels and our imagination. Their visions adorned modules, packaging, and advertisements, turning several generations in Germany into gamers, space pilots, knights, top athletes, and cowboys. US museums, the Getty and NASA archives, and above all the private collections of Atari's creative minds have donated 700 works from three decades to this book, including cover paintings, hardware designs and previously unpublished prototype sketches.
