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.

Perfect Prom Suit

This suit was perfect for prom. The fit was clean, the material looked high quality, and the texture gave it a unique look. Definitely worth it.

Award winning tuxedo!
Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink
Love this tuxedo suit! I’ve worn it a few times - to two different weddings and an Academy Awards viewing party, where I even won for best dressed. I get so many comments on it. The jacket and vest fit perfectly, however the pants are long and I had to hem them, but “stitch witchery” tape worked fine. The pants are also a little “stiff” - not a smooth fabric. But for occasional wear, it’s fine! The bow tie was sold separately.

Slim fit
Size: Large, Color: Brown
I recently purchased the brown slim-fit suit and am very impressed! For reference, I’m 6’2” and 222 lbs, and while I usually wear a size large, I went with an XL based on the fit advice and it was the perfect choice. This suit does run a bit small, so ordering a size up is definitely the way to go. The slim fit is flattering and modern without being restrictive, and the rich brown color adds a unique and stylish touch to any occasion. The material feels high-quality, and the overall craftsmanship is excellent. If you're looking for a sharp, well-fitting suit, this one is a fantastic option—just be mindful of the sizing!

Good Decision !
Size: Large, Color: Dark Black, Size: Large, Color: Dark Black
Upon receiving the suit we were definitely skeptical because certain materials don't match the pictures. But Baby when we say this one came and showed up. It was great material , not cheap feeling if you get what Im saying. The pants, jacket and vest all came as it said it would. Nothing was missing! It came pressed and very wrinkle free so it was taking care of prior to shipping out. We got a Large for my son because of course he wanted a slimmer fit. But it did work out. He had enough room to comfortably be able to move. And for it truly was a steal for how much it costed. This literally felt like it was suppose to cost a few hundred , but it was so affordable.

"Showstopper Suit That Turned Heads All Night!”
Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple, Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple
I absolutely love this suit. We bought it specifically to match my son's girlfriend's prom dress, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. After she picked out her gown, I spent the entire Sunday searching for a suit that would complement it, and when I saw this one, I knew it was the one. The colors, the pattern, the style—it all came together perfectly. When prom day came, my son looked so confident, handsome, and proud. He and his date looked stunning together, like they coordinated their outfits down to the smallest detail. You could tell they were a couple just by the way they complemented each other. He received nonstop compliments, not only at the prom send-off but even later that night when we went to Texas Roadhouse. People were turning their heads and praising the look. It was truly a moment. This was hands down one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. I do not usually write reviews, but this suit deserves the recognition. It was sleek, bold, well-fitted, and absolutely top tier. If you're considering this suit, do it. It is a total showstopper.
