Brings back memories

The art brings back fond memories of my Atari. The current generation of game consoles lack the artwork that came with each game.

A lot of fun artwork to see in this book. You get a lot of different themes and types of graphics. Fun to see.

Worth it?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2022

High quality prints , great for framing. As others mentioned, these are double sided. This will make you choose which side is better. Plenty of b-list and sports titles to throw away, but the 5 or 6 amazing ones almost made this worth it.

It's a poster book of the greatest art ever produced

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

The posters in this book are decently sized, but I haven't even opened the book up because I know I'll be brought to tears at the sheer beauty of it all. Rivaling the works of the greats; Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Dali, the art on display here is transcendent. Buy the book and tell your wife the pictures are going up wherever you damn well please to put them because they are so amazing. Look upon these works and know that imagination is the key to all power.

Great book, great art, but some strange omissions. A treasure and a disappointment.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Amazing quality. The pages are high-color images on sturdy card stock. It's great as a book to look at or posters to take out and frame. The main drawback is some of the art they chose as posters. Some of the most iconic Atari art is absent. There is no Space Invaders, Adventure, Defender, or Berzerk artwork and yet there are three separate posters of Centipede and Asteroids. Also, two of the most iconic pieces of game art, Yars Revenge and Warlords, are on opposite sides of the same sheet. That means you can only display one at a time unless you buy two books.

I hope a volume two is issued to help make up for the omissions because Atari had the best box art in the business and it deserves as much spotlight that can shine upon it.

High quality artwork with just a few minor drawbacks

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Unbeatable price for the quality of prints, and a decent selection of games that should have something for everyone. As other reviewers have noted, the 40 posters are on 20 pieces of paper...so if you're looking to frame them you need to buy two copies of the collection. Some of my personal favorites of the covers represented here include the two Missle Commands, Surround, Super Breakout, and Warlords. Would have been nice if this included games like Codebreaker, Air Sea Battle, of any of the Activision games (such as Pitfall!)... and fewer generic sports titles. I'm sure there are licensing issues with some of the games that are missing, but maybe we'll see more in a volume 2??

Poster collection ready to be hung on every gamer's wall

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm took young to remember atari. NES was birthed months before I was, so I missed out on epic box art selling poor games. Not to say Atari was a joke but it is the running gag for the early 80s. Regardless, I appreciate the art and to have some of the more iconic games in poster form was an opportunity I couldn't allow myself to miss.

My only disappointment with this is that It's missing 2 games who I think had awesome art covers and it has maybe a few too many sports covers. Otherwise it covers all the genre's every kid in the late 70s/early 80s remembers playing in their living room.

This book is amazing. Very high quality prints on heavy stock

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is amazing. Very high quality prints on heavy stock. The one gripe I have is that it was not easy to peel the adhesive on the first page which happened to be the picture I was most excited about framing. I ended up peeling some of the print off in the process. I am chalking it up to the adhesive being sticky due to the heat, but I can't say for sure. I am going to buy another one hoping this time I can get the Milliped poster off without ruining it.

Ein Fest für Retro-Fans

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wie sicherlich viele aus meiner Generation war ich als Kind unheimlich von den spektakulären Artworks der Atari-Spiele fasziniert. . Wir mir ging es hunderttausenden, manche der Artworks sind ja durchaus popkulturell relevante Werke geworden. Dem Autor Tim Lapetino ist es zu verdanken, dass im Jahr 2016 mit „The Art Of Atari“ ein optisch und inhaltlich extrem wertiges Buch über die Kunstwerke aus dieser wichtigen Epoche der Game-Geschichte erschien. Mit dem hier rezensierten ART OF ATARI POSTER BOOK ist nun der perfekte Begleitband zu „The Art Of Atari“ erschienen: 40 großformatige (30 x 40 cm) Drucke einiger der bekanntesten Artworks.

Genauso wie bei „The Art Of Atari“ beeindruckt sofort die sehr wertige Verarbeitung. Die Drucke sind sehr klar und sauber, das Papier sehr schwer und fest, die Bilder kommen toll zur Geltung.

Enthalten sind die Artworks zu:

3D Tic-Tac-Toe
Asteroids 2600
Asteroids 5200
Asteroids 7800
Atari Wizard
AtariAge SwordQuest
Basketball 2600
Centipede 2600
Centipede 5200
Combat Two
Crystal Castles
Demons To Diamonds
Football 2600
Haunted House
Haunted House (nicht verwndetes Alternativcover)
Home Run
Millipede 2600
Missile Command 2600
Missile Command 5200
RealSports Baseball
RealSports Baseball 5200
RealSports Basketball 2600
RealSports Basketball 5200
RealSports Football 2600
RealSports Soccer 5200
RealSports Tennis
RealSports Volleyball
Star Raiders 2600
Star Raiders 5200
Super Breakout 2600
Surround
SwordQuest Airworld
SwordQuest Fireworld
SwordQuest Waterworld
Tempest 2600
Video Checkers
Video Pinball
Warlords
Warlords Family
Yars’ Revenge

Wie bei einer solchen Auswahl üblich kann man natürlich immer trefflich diskutieren, ob nicht noch das ein oder andere Motiv fehlt – ich vermisse z.B. definitiv (!) "Defender" schmerzlich. Insgesamt wurde aber eine recht gute Auswahl getroffen, welche sicherlich viele der wichtigsten Artworks enthält und vor allem auch die verschiedenen Stile und Genres der Atari-Artworks gut abdeckt.

Machen wir es also kurz: wer die Atari-Artworks liebt, wem Tim Lapetinos Buch gefallen hat und wer Retro-Art in seinen Gemächern möchte wird hier bestens bedient – und die obige Liste sollte jedem bei der Kaufentscheidung helfen, schließlich kann so jeder nachsehen, ob seine persönlichen Lieblingsmotive vorhanden sind.

Qualitativ ist, was Verarbeitung und Präsentation angeht, das ART OF ATARI POSTER BOOK jedenfalls über Zweifel erhaben.

A Must Have for Almost ANYONE !!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Every once in a while I pick up something from Amazon just on a whim, but I am then completely blown away upon seeing and touching the item in person... Well, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS!

Wow, this thing is truly stunning! The quality of the printing and the card stock chosen is just top notch! The item is almost a full 12 x 16 inches and has a very well thought binding design that feels very robust and yet lays perfectly flat when viewing side by side pages.

As a 70’s and 80’s kid, the nostalgia overload on experiencing this “work of art” is overwhelming! The memory rush!! :D

I don’t even think you have to be a retro gaming fan, or Atari nerd or whatever “label” you want to slap on to appreciate this. I am certain that Students of Art or even art lover’s in general would be more than happy to own this or receive as a gift.

I have Absolutely no regrets with this purchase. In fact, I almost want to get a second copy now just for the purpose of picking a few of the selections to frame as I think it would be a shame to break this book apart.

AAA+

Pintaza estupenda

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on February 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Compré el libro "Art of Atari", y cuando lo tuve pensé que estaría bien tener algunos de esos diseños en tamaño poster. Dicho y hecho, a los pocos días apareció el "poster collection" en pre-reserva.

Lo tengo desde hace tiempo, y ya está desguazado, porque las páginas están hechas de manera que pueden despegarse fácilmente para colgarlas de la pared.

El papel es grueso y la impresión de mucha calidad, aunque al conjunto le veo 2 pegas:

- A veces al quitar un poster del libro, quedan restos de pegamento. No suele ser difícil de quitar.
- las páginas están impresas a doble cara, y eso es un problema si nos gustan ambos dibujos de la misma hoja. La única solución que le veo a esto es comprar por duplicado el libro.

Si no queréis sacar los posters del encuadernado y usar el álbum como libro, la cosa va a estar difícil a la hora de guardarlo. No hay estantería que le valga, es enorme (cosa que no veo como pega, sino como ventaja ;) ).

Recomiendo su compra sin duda.

Guter Druck, wenig Pop Art

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on July 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Ich habe das Buch sehr früh bestellt und lange darauf gewartet. Das Papier, besser ist der Ausdruck Karton, auf dem die Covers aufgedruckt sind ist sehr steif und träg massiv zu der Qualität dieses Bandes bei. Die Bilder an sich sind gestochen schaft und bieten sich zum Rahmen geradezu an.
Was mich etwas enttäuscht, das ist aber rein subjektiv, ist das es nicht all zuviel ComicArt oder PopArt Covers gibt. Sehr viel Covers sind Risse die bestimmt sehr gut ausgeführt sind. Aber für jemanden der in der Kindheit diese absolut irren, bunten, detailverliebten und krachigen PopArt Covers in der Quelle- und Neckermannauslage geradezu verschlungen hat oder sich am Hertieschaufenster die Nase platt gedrückt hat ist das vorliegende eher ernüchternd.
Die Liste mit den Covers die abgebildetet sind gab es erst nach meiner Bestellung hier als Rezesion. Wenn ich das früher gelesen hätte, hätte ich mir das nicht besorgt.

Fazit: Tolle gestochen scharfe Bilder auf hochwertigen Trägerpapier (Karton). Für PopArt Liebhaber nur beschränkt zu empfehlen.

Ich benutze immernoch meinen grossen ST für unsere Buchhaltung und wenn ich irgendwo mit meinem Atari Portfolio auftauche drehen die Leute immer total durch. Atari forever!

Lleno de nostalgia

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on May 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Una excelente compilación de portadas de los nostálgicos juegos del Atari 2600, de papel de buena calidad y un tamaño digno. Sin embargo hay 2 fallas que hace que no merezca 5 estrellas: son impresiones a dos caras, es decir, tienes que decidir que poster usar por hoja, perdiendo así la mitad de los posters que se obtienen. Y el otro problema : muchas portadas de juegos deportivos dejando fuera portadas de juegos más importantes o al menos con ilustraciones más memorables. Aun así recomendable para aquellos que conocieron estos juegos.
