Book Signing - Ian Bogost, LCC
Primary tabs
Ian Bogost signs his latest book Racing the Beam: the Atari Video Computing System at the GT Barnes & Noble at noon on April 2.
The Atari Video Computer System dominated the home videogame market so completely that "Atari" became the generic term for a videogame console. The Atari VCS was affordable and offered the flexibility of changeable cartridges. Nearly a thousand of these were created, the most significant of which established new techniques, mechanics, and even entire genres. This book offers a detailed and accessible study of this influential videogame console from both computational and cultural perspectives.
