“I am Error” is a book from the Platform Studies series, to which the extremely famous and well-regarded “Racing the Beam” also belongs - an awesome analysis of the technical features and restrictions of the Atari 2600/VCS and how they influenced the games that defined the console.

Every one of the Platform Studies books that I’ve read is a gem — I think I’ve only missed a couple of them.

I’m having a hard time getting into “Spoony Bards…” because it spends so much of the first couple chapters trash-talking the SNES in generic terms.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was very excited for it after Racing the Beam and I AM ERROR, but the negative tone made me put it down almost immediately.
