“The non-standard format of Atari Inc. Business Is Fun is what makes it a valuable history lesson without the feeling of just having sat through a history lesson. With plenty of summary images at the end of each chapter the story of what made Atari amazingly fun comes to life in the first of what we hope will really be 3 books in this Atari series.”

Personal Praise
“Absolutely phenomenal! After this comprehensive study, there’s nothing left for anyone to say. If Bushnell, Alcorn, and Dabney wrote their own book, they’d have little important to add to the discussion”
-Steve Kent, author of The Ultimate History of Video Games
“I received the book yesterday. It is an outstanding piece of work, and I’m thoroughly impressed. I am just so blown away by what you guys have accomplished that I don’t know what to say except THANK YOU, THANK YOU!”
-Ted Dabney, co-founder of Atari Inc
“That is amazing book you’ve got! I’m getting into it and there is some great detail that has new insights for me about the whole Atari phenom,”
– Eugene Jarvis, Atari’s Pinball Division and co-developer of Defender & Robotron.
“Self-published books about classic video games are an increasingly common sight these days. Some are indispensable, such as Marty Goldberg and Curt Vendel’s Atari Inc.—Businessis Fun (2012, Syzygy Company Press)…”
– Brett Weiss, author of the Classic Home Video Games series of books.
“An indispensable work.”
-Zak Penn, director of Atari: Game Over.
