"So retro, so cool, such good quality...."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought this notebook primarily for the retro-appeal – great classic 2600 artwork, the game instructions in the center and some game imagery inside the back/front cover. However its a very high quality note book as well – Hard covered, good binding and nice paper with a simple ‘dotted’ pattern making it ideal for sketching and scribbling ideas. Well worth it – though its hard not to just want to display it on my bookshelf. :)

Description

A journal designed with a clever package to resemble Atari's best-selling 2600 games

Officially licensed and designed to look like the original game cartridge, ASTEROIDS- The Atari 2600 Game Journal features endpapers with color screenshots of gameplay as well as an insert with instructions from the original game manual. With black-edged pages and sticker artwork showcasing the iconic rock-blasting spaceship, ASTEROIDS- The Atari 2600 Game Journal is a pixilated trip down memory lane.

In 1977, Atari released their first programmable cartridge system, the VCS, in a daring attempt to bring gaming from arcade halls to living rooms. Later rebranded the Atari 2600, the gaming system became an essential part of 80's culture, selling millions of units until its remodel in 1992. Despite the variations that followed, the Atari 2600 games are seen as the pioneers of video gaming, and are the foundation for many game designs, platforms, and systems in rotation today.
