 The book that would not die!
ABC to the VCS by Leonard Herman
Famed author of Phoenix: The Fall and Rise of Videogames!

ABC To The VCS is the ultimate summary guide to the Atari 2600. Originally written in 1983 during the height of the 2600's popularity, the first edition of this book was finally released in 1996 thanks to an overwhelming demand from collectors. Now, nearly a decade later, the 2600 is still popular among collectors and programmers alike. Unreleased games from the eighties are constantly being discovered and released and new 'homebrew' games are still being written for this system that ceased production in 1991. In all there are 163 more titles in the 2nd edition than were in the 1st edition.

NEW FOR THE 2nd EDITION:
• Atari 2600 Today List
• Inclusion of Sears titles
• Summaries of over 700 games
• Screen shots of nearly everygame

Arcade Ambiance: Volume 1983 Audio CD

"If I close my eyes while listening to Arcade Ambiance, I can clearly envision myself hanging out at the local Golfland Arcade circa 1983 sporting the latest in early 80's fashion (camouflage Vans and a Members Only jacket), while feeding quarter after quarter into Dig Dug, Galaga and Phoenix. Thanks for taking me back to a happier time."

"Arcade Ambiance takes me back to the awe of the big arcades from my childhood, when my biggest concern in life was running out of quarters! Great nostalgia!"

David Lewis

Arcade Ambiance: Volume 1986 Audio CD

"I closed my eyes today and took a virtual walk through a mid 80s arcade. I accomplished this seemingly impossible feat via the latest edition of GDG's Arcade Ambiance series. Soon, I could almost smell the snacks and see the players, hear their arguements and the small sounds of quarters being lined up along the coin-op controller rims in order to determine order of play. Then, like a symphony conductor, my ear would seek out familiar groupings of sound effects and delightfully manic arcade machine music, allowing me to identify a game here, a game there. But mostly I allowed the sounds of a wonderful past time to simply wash over me. For veteran gamers, this is mood audio of the first order."

 Arcade Fever by John Sellers

Have you mastered the delicate art of hyperspace? Can you say "joystick" in polite conversation without blushing? Do you remember the difference between playing "singles" and "doubles"?

If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, Arcade Fever is the book for you-the world's first illustrated history of video games, with tributes to 50 all-time favorites like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Defender, Q*Bert, Tetris, and many, many others. You want little-known tips, tricks, and secrets? You want behind-the-scenes creation stories from the original programmers? You want to read about the first guy who actually DIED playing a video game, or the arcade classic that inspired an episode of Seinfeld? It's all right here, in a jam-packed celebration of '70s and '80s arcade culture.

Includes:
Interviews with programmers, musicians, animators, and other legends from the golden age of video games, A chronological history of video arcades-from the first coin-operated arcade game to obscure classics like Elevator Action, Crazy Climber, and Food Fight. Tonns of rad '80s spin-off products, including home systems, pajamas, alarm clocks, Saturday morning cartoons, sugar-coated breakfast cereals, and a movie starring Jeff Bridges as a programmer who gets sucked into a computer.

 Classic Game Room DVD

Classic Game Room was the first classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999 and 2000. It returns as a feature-length comedy film about the triumphant story of online success, failure, obscurity, resurrection and success again!

The legendary show was produced in the early days of online video by Mark Bussler and David Crosson at an Internet startup with one camera, a green screen and $50 budgets. The show was objective, entertaining and obnoxious with beer-drinking, bottle-throwing, joystick-slinging, car-crashing classic game reviews. A cult following developed and the reviews kept coming, but how long could it last until the money ran out?

Reviews: Berzerk for Atari 2600, Duck Hunt for NES, X-Men for Sega Genesis, Joust for Playstation, Sega GT for Dreamcast, Frogger for Atari 2600, SeaMan for Dreamcast, Missile Command for Playstation, Perfect Dark for Nintendo N64 ,Yar's Revenge for Atari 2600 and Alien for Atari 2600.

  Down From the Top of it's Game:
The Story of Infocom


The success and failure of Infocom, a company founded by members of MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science, resulted from a combination of factors. Infocom succeeded not only because it made Zork , a text-adventure game, available on personal computers, but also because it developed an effective system for supporting new platforms, maintained an engineering culture that excelled at writing computer games, and marketed its products to the right audience.

Similarly, Infocom did not fail simply because it decided to shift its focus to business software by making Cornerstone , a relational database. Infocom failed for many reasons that were closely tied to how the company managed the transition to business products. Behind the scenes, the transition created a litany of problems that hurt both the games and the business divisions of the company. Combined with some bad luck, these problems—not simply the development of Cornerstone —ultimately led to Infocom's downfall
