This is a strange book.

It's strange because it's really a videogame, or at least, a curious box made to house a videogame. And the videogame it houses is not an ordinary one about elves or soldiers or footballers created to run on the latest and most powerful computer, but a new title for a videogame console more than three decades old, the Atari Video Computer System. And that Atari game is not a nostalgic re-make of a popular shoot-em-up or a new take on an iconic action-adventure, but a set of playable poetry that owes as much to William Carlos Williams as it does to Will Wright.

I like having the animated GIF screenshot.

I gotta admit it didn't scream Atari VCS to me. Maybe I'm thinking too literally.

But it did scream psychadelic ferns, kittens, pugs, anaroxic women, whats his name, skeleton and nursing boobies.

Wow. I think I should try

Wow.

I think I should try to throw random bullshit together next time I'm out of ideas.

I did hear that Space Jam remix! The rest of the audio was unrecognizable/incoherent.
