If you are interested in the early days of gaming and specifically to all things Atari, a book is out documenting the rise and fall of one of the earliest of the mega-gaming companies all the way through from its dominance in the early gaming industry right up to the company’s downfall. Atari Inc.: Business is Fun even covers the saga of Steve Jobs when he worked for Atari in 1974. Interesting read.
Atari, named by Bushnell after a term from the strategic game Go, was arguably the most important company making and selling video games in the early days of an industry that today generates tens of billions of dollars in revenue per year worldwide.
