    I saw a book called "ABC to the VCS." I read a sample chapter about poker games. But does this book show you the different hardware or does it just show software? Is it about the games only?

    Is there a better book that shows the different Atari hardware and software?

    If its the book im thinking of its mostly games with a few pages at the back with basically big images of the hardware and small captions underneath.

    I'm looking to pack up a lot of my items at home in the next couple of months, and im sure I have the book somewhere around the house I'll give you more details when I find it!

    Thanks! If you can, scan like a page that covers the hardware. I just want a clue of what the book is like before I purchase.

    ZAP the rise and fall of Atari

    -------------------------------

    Nevermind. I didn't read your description just the title.

    Zap is more a history lesson.

    Where can I get Zap? It sounds interesting as well.

    Zap was long out of print selling for $100+ on ebay and they they reprinted it. I'm not sure where you find as I'm one of the suckers who bought a first print before it was reprinted.
