Notes
The People's Computer Company's first book of computer games -- a cornerstone of 1970s Bay Area computer counterculture, edited collectively (Bob Albrecht, LeRoy Finkel, Marc LeBrun, David Kaufman, Mary Jo Albrecht, Howie Franklin, Joanne Verplank, Albert Bradley, Nancy Hertert) with a preface by Bob Kahn of the Lawrence Hall of Science. Type-in BASIC games (Lunar Lander, Star Trader, Hunt the Wumpus, Hexapawn, Stomp, Trap, Bagels) wrapped in exuberant hand-lettered, Art-Nouveau-inflected illustration -- an early fusion of computing and graphic art. This is the Hayden edition. Owner's physical copy.
