Collection of Atari and Gaming ebooks 2017

As a child of the 70s and 80s, the videogame industry was growing up at the same time I was. One of the key players in it was Atari, and they were also the makers of my first computer.

Here's a collection of ebooks recalling those times. These relate to both the gaming and computing aspects of Atari, and deal with everything from the history of Atari itself to remembering the platforms to technical information about how some of the games were designed.

These are a mix of EPUB and PDF files. I personally hate PDFs, but in places where the book is built around the graphical presentation, that layout needs to be preserved.
