Review: Very comprehensive book! - There are very few Atari 8-bit books out there sadly, but this is the best one I've read. Tons of reviews including classics like Dropzone, Star Raiders, Centipede, Missile Command, Pac-Man etc. and loads of really obscure stuff too plus really interesting interviews with game devs and a history piece on the computer that taught me a lot. Can't recommend this book enough and can't wait for volume 2 to arrive!
Review: Missing Dropzone - I took one look at the contents page and could not find Dropzone. Not much of a compendium.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***N on 26 April 2023*

The book is printed on demand, which is fine considering this is a niche read. The text looks fine, it's just the images for each game are of low quality. And it's obviously from the paper and the printer used to print the book. The paper is standard 8 1/2 by 11 computer paper and the printer I'm guessing is an inkjet. The dark colored screenshots that many games have suffer from this, and leave you squinting to try to make out what they're supposed to be. Maybe try for photo paper next time the book is printed and see if that helps?
