The untold story of Atari’s Missile Command
With the advent of the arcade, Atari Inc. and its iconic game, Missile Command,
were at the forefront of the industry’s explosion, helping usher in
both the age of the video game and the gamer lifestyle. In 8-Bit Apocalypse,
tech insider Alex Rubens delves into electronic history to tell of an
era when arcade games were designed, written, and coded by individual
designers. He interviews major figures including Atari founder Nolan
Bushnell and Missile Command creator David Theurer, who
suffered from frequent nightmares of nuclear holocaust as he worked on
the game. The first in-depth, personal history of the era, 8-Bit Apocalypse combines
Rubens’s tech industry knowledge and experience as a gaming journalist
to conjure the wild silicon frontier of the ’80s.
