The Atari Book: 40th Anniversary Special.

Notes:

Pg. 10.  The VCS was released in 1977, not 1978.  The original price was $169.88, not 168 pounds.  "Why the Atari 5200 is great"?  Why is this comment here?

Pg. 13.  The VCS first went on sale as early as August 1977, not October.

Pg. 14 Berzerk is misspelled "Berserk".

Pg. 16. The section is called "And the rest", yet Berzerk, Ms. Pac-Man, H.E.R.O., River Raid and Pitfall II are listed again, even though they were listed on the previous pages as one of the 10 best.

Pg. 21.  "By February of 1982, production of the 5200 ws secretly ended."  Should be 1982, otherwise that's a hell of a secret, considering the system didn't go on sale until October 1982.

Pg. 37.  "Ataris' original solution (for left-handed players) was to show how to open up the sticks and flip the PCB around to support holding it 'lefty'"  What?!  No, Atari's solution was to open it up and re-wire the PCB, so that if you held it in a left-handed orientation, the controls would work correctly (Atari Age magazine, Jan/Feb 1983, pg. 4).

Pg. 38.  The Crash is referred to a "funny thing that happened" and claims it started a few months before the 7800's introduction in May 1984; in reality it started in December 1982.

This type of revisionistic writing is all-too-common for one Martin Goldberg, who Retro Gamer used to their own detriment.
