If you are writing a homebrew game for the 2600 and anticipate a release within the next six months, I will include it in the 2nd edition of ABC To The VCS: A Directory of Software For The Atari 2600, which is scheduled to be available this August. I basically need a screenshot and a description of the game; a ROM if available. Deadline is June 20. Please send info to ABCVCS@rolentapress.com .
Thanks

Hey wow, Leonard Herman! I loved Phoenix. I did my undergrad cmpsci thesis on the history of home video gaming and used your book as a primary source. This was... probably 1997 or 1998. Great stuff! If you're ever interested in selling an autographed copy of a recent version of that book (the one I have actually has a stapled addendum), I'd love one!

The third edition is available through my website. If you order one and want me to sign it, just send me an email at lenny@rolentapress.com and I'd be more than happy to do so.

Will you be attending CGExpo this year, Leonard? It would be great to meet you in person, at least until you punch me in the gut.

We had this same conversation last year. I was there like I said I would be

By the way Zach, make sure you get that bum Androvich to attend also! He's trying to bail out. If he doesn't go I'm sure sure hundreds, if not thousands, of his fans will boycott the show.

Yep, I told him he needs to go, but he also declared that this year's E3 was his last, so either he's getting burned out on conventions (I can relate!) or, like all rich and famous people, he's come to take his adoring fans for granted.
So, a dumb question: will the 2nd edition of ABC to the VCS be available for purchase at this year's CGE?
