Your house is on fire and you only have time to grab one book on Intellivision. Which do you choose? This one, obviously! Tom Boellstorff and Braxton Soderman have produced a door stopper, a 432-page history of Atari’s rival in the home video game market of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

Plus, they dug through private and academic archives to unearth history and data that’s been forgotten for nearly 40 years.
