[Trien, Susan]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to share with you an exciting announcement from the International Center for the History of Electronic Games:

ICHEG ACQUIRES ATARI ARCADE DESIGN COLLECTION

The International Center for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG) at The Strong(r) is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Atari Arcade Design Collection-more than 250 original conceptual drawings and industrial designs for Atari arcade games produced between 1974 and 1989. The collection provides a rare visual documentation of the thinking behind the design of Atari's coin-operated games at a time when the arcade was the hub of the video game industry and Atari was the leading producer of arcade games.
