It’s about to go down! Well before the current day console wars dominated social media and message boards, Atari's VCS and Intellivision collided in the first major video game rivalry in 1979. The battle only intensified when Intellivision started making games for the VCS, its fiercest rival's machine! In a series of exclusive interviews, the game makers who lived through the first console war explain how and why this unique chapter of video-game history unfolded.

Features:

19 new games including several rare M Network prototypes available here for the first time

New timeline video interviews with M Network programmer Jane Terjung, Activision’s David Crane & Garry Kitchen, homebrew programmer Dennis Debro, and historians Leonard Herman & Mike Mika
