There's a new book on the golden years of Atari coming out. www.createspace.com/3928085It talks about the company in general but I'm sure there would be a lot of info on the arcade game division and the vector games they made.

I wonder where they got the never seen before photos from? EDIT: oh, just read about Kurt going through Atari's dumpsters and all ;D

I'm still waiting to get my copy. I preordered it on Amazon but there seems to be delay in shipping.

Actually, there are two books coming out. The second I believe is interactive and initially only coming out on iBooks? www.insideatari.com/www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqB4vD6FzPM&feature=youtu.beSo, not sure if there could ever be a print version of it though. Interesting way to publish a "book", I wonder with a blu-ray disk or two if the interactive stuff could be duplicated on a blu-ray player. And I think the guy doing this book is the same guy who has the two-player Missile Command 2 prototype arcade game that was at the last California Extreme show (in what looked like an Atari Football cabinet).
